I am simply quaking in my boots from all your McCain fear-mungering ...
And, you vicious, ignorant fool - I have not been posting for months and months, simply not even one month. Yes, and all my letters are identifiable and include numerous discussions of Obama's many solid policy positions. But of course, we can't even identify your previous posts ... no matter, I bet they all went something like ... "... oh I hate you stupid lefty's ________ (insert various empty attack language) blah, blah, blah".

well...
Obama is the Democratic Nominee.
He will do very well against McCain.
He will go a long way to changing immediately the World’s perception of what the US has become.

I am so weary of hearing about Clinton
History is not on her side.

@CBL
I'm not sure why you think what I said is a pipedream. If anything, my statement was about stepping back from being fixated on a particular, perhaps unrealistic, outcome to ask, "If I don't get my first choice, who will be the best second choice."
That's not a pipedream. That's the art of the possible.
Nicely put, CBL. I think that some of the trolls on this post are deeply angry and bitter that the world doesn't work the way they think it does. They're angry that their cynical, sad worldview didn't play with the country (and make no mistake, Obama has won plenty of voters in all the demographic groups, including the working class). They pull their blankets up over their heads and shiver, warning us that the world is a scary, terrible place, and that we're crazy delusional fools for thinking or wanting it otherwise. They think merely repeating the word "Hussein" will make the country turn against someone-- perhaps the way people thought a divorced former actor would never score against a paragon of virtue like Jimmy Carter.
We should probably just pity them, their fear, and their tremendous anger. I've been laughing, though. I probably shouldn't.
(Please note when I say 'troll' I really do mean troll, and mostly the anons. I appreciate very much the sensible, smart Hillary Clinton supporters I've talked to on these boards, and hope I can look forward to being 'on the same side' again in the general. We all want what's best for the country and that means knocking McCain out.)

Spare me, Vile One.
You've done nothing short of hiss and spit all over the board under by my estimate at least 3-5 sigs and anonymous posts.
So you say the realists (those of us who aren't in a blinded cloud of Black Empowerment and War Nuttery) who have been around for more elections don't know how the world works. That's funny. We do know and we're sick of you spoilers.
Let's look how nasty you are now and see where YOU are Vile One, after Obama-Hussein's landslide defeat.
I notice not ONE of you can cite a state that Kerry/Gore lost that Obama can win. And since he's going to LOSE New Jersey, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and just about every other close in-play state, along with the solidly red ones, He MIGHT pick up Illinois, Vermont, Maryland and Wisconsin.
Can you spell bloodbath, Vile One. That's what your arrogant, vulgar little schnoz is pointing toward.

Interesting Line...
...in your piece:
"But she always radiated the sense that if pure competence -- rather than inspiration -- was what mattered in politics, she would be vaulted to the head of the class."
This is what I find so annoying about Hillary Clinton the candidate: she radiates this "sense" that she is competent, while ignoring the fact that her campaign is in shambles, and both the Bill Clinton administration and her Senate career are notable mostly for their lack of notable achievement.
There is more to politics than getting elected, Hillary; sometimes passion and risk taking are rewarded. You have demonstrated little passion and a complete aversion to political risk. The same Washington that exists solely to increase profits for the oil, defense and medical industries would have nothing to fear from you. The status quo would remain undisturbed.
And yet, you act as is the country can't live without your "leadership." I think we will be fine without your smug certainty that only you are competent enough to keep things exactly as they are.

Nonsense. He can't win a single state Gore/Kerry lost and he will lose CA and PN and NJ
Obama is the Democratic Nominee.
He will do very well against McCain
LOL. Funny. See subject title. Now please - the 18 or so sigs you're creating and posting under are not convincing anyone.
Anyone the least bit knowledge able knows Hussein-Obama is going down the tubes and taking the whole fkg Dem Congress with him.

The "magic bullet" ricochets
I was moved by HRC's closing statement. Hearing her words, I felt this tension lifting from my shoulders. She seemed to be signalling that we democrats would finally be allowed to enjoy our nominee (Barack Obama), and that she would proudly move forward to help unite the party.
It was a great moment: a great moment that was almost immediately shattered when I read the campaign's spin that "it was the moment she retook the reins of this race" and that was driven into the mud when I heard that HRC later stated on the stump that she intended to win Texas and Ohio and become the nominee.
Given the post-debate evidence, my 20/20 hindsight doesn't look so favorably on the statement after all. I should have realized it was an attempt to recall the NH crying moment when she started it by saying: "You know, people ask me 'How do you do it....'"
Clinton will say anything and do anything to win, even if it means NOT winning, she's going to do her best to take the party down with her.
