Obama's supporters are one of the biggest reasons many people refuse to vote for him. He's not bad on his own, I suppose, but the legions of Obamabots trying to tell you that you're a cynic, against hope, a slave to the system, etc, just because you don't worship His Hopeness is astounding. They hand out political fliers at MLK events, they act as though he is the second coming of Christ, and when anyone dares to criticize him, we are accused of latent racism and of being Republicans at heart.

Maybe Clinton supporters chanting might be annoying, but we're not the ones claiming that anyone who doesn't vote for our candidate is a warmongering Republican, or threatening to vote for McCain if our candidate doesn't get nominated.

I don't know what you've been smoking, but Nancy Pelosi is one of the lame-duck Democrats largely responsible for sitting around and doing nothing, even now that they have the majority in Congress. Plus, she has only held office since 1987 or thereabouts. It you include Clinton's experience in both the White House and the governor's mansion of Arkansas, she has been involved in politics since 1978. And please make the argument that being the first lady of either a state or a country isn't a job in itself. You'll just be making yourself look more dumb.

The sad fact is that Nancy Pelosi was a stay-at-home mom and descendant of American aristocracy with too much money on her hands, so she ran for office. She proved a capable House Minority Leader but as Speaker she's been less than impressive and has been much more of a Bush lapdop than anyone would ever accuse either Clinton or Obama. I love when people find inane excuses to note vote for someone... "I'd totally vote for Hillary... if she were this OTHER woman whose name I heard on the news once!!!"

Is anyone else sick of hearing from Obama supporters: "If Clinton wins the nominations all the Republicans who hate her will come out and vote."

Which is really funny when you think about it because when Obama supporters aren't saying something like that, they are accusing Hillary and her supporters of being quasi-Republicans in sheep's clothing. Come on folks, you can't have it both ways. Either Hillary is a Republican or she is hated by them, or something completely different, but please. Get a new spiel, this one's getting old.

In other news, add me to the list of people who think that a Clinton/Obama ticket could settle a lot of problems within the Democratic party. The Democrats have demonstrated that a lot of us like Hillary and a lot of us like Obama. Why not join the two?

What you all seem to be forgetting is that it was not the voters of Michigan or Florida that chose to break the Democrats' rules. It was a handful of people at the heads of the Florida and Michigan Democratic parties. Why should millions of voters, who we will need come November, be disenfranchised out of petty spite for the couple of people who decided to buck the DNC rules?

He's got about the same body type as Lohan, too.

I'm not getting it, entirely. I think there is a lot of depth missing from this article. I get the age difference thing, and yet, I don't understand how getting locked in a closet can cause other people to cry over you. Maybe I am unfeeling.

When I was a kid, my brother, two years older than me, regularly beat on me. We're not talking kid stuff, either. My mom once had to break us up when he slammed my head into a file cabinet and I blacked out. There were a few times he attacked me when I literally feared for my life. It was a mutually destructive relationship, of course. I would goad him verbally because I was smarter and more successful, and he would react with physical violence. Knowing what was coming rarely stopped me from provoking him. Now in early adulthood, we are actually good friends. At some point in high school I think we realized we were both loners and losers, and had a lot more in common with each other than we had ever thought.

So I guess I just don't get why this would be so traumatic. A horrible experience, yes, but I was not moved to tears, or anywhere near it, and I am usually easily moved.

The reason we non-Obamaholics roll our eyes at his turning negative is not so much because we are shocked that he would dare do such a thing, but more because we've seen it coming for a long time.

Obama and his campaign can talk sweetly about bringing change to politics, but when it comes right down to it and he has to fight tooth and nail against a capable opponent to get nominated, he's as willing as the rest of them to play dirty.

So much for hope and change.
