I know that Obama sincerely wants to rise above typical political mudslinging but his ardent supporters, who are so resentful when he gets splattered, are the first to turn vicious.On all of the different conversation threads I read I see Clinton supporters saying if Obama wins the nomination they will support him. Not so with Obama supporters if they don't get what they want they are going to pick up their marbles and go home.Is this because they are young and immature? Is it the independents who won't join a party and fight for real principles so they can lay back and be ironic and critical. This does not seem like truely strong progressive support to me,more like a personality cult.Voters who really want a change in policy and recognize the real trouble this country is in should vote for the winner whomever that might be.
