Leaping Lizards, you are all so frail.
The whole lot of you, things get a bit complicated, a bit rough and tumble and you all go into meltdown. Calm down. It's politics.
And to all of you who think you started a movement cause you put up a sign, went to a rally, gave a donation and made some phone calls-- all I have to say good start. Now you gotta do that for the rest of your natural life and maybe, maybe 1% of the time you get your way. In this game, everyone does not get a trophy just because they participated and no one gives a hoot about your self esteem.
Please go tell Tom Hayden's wife, the meditative one, to stop yelling at the TV, now no one wants her to lose her bliss.
If you don't like Hillary, learn one thing from her, keep fighting for what you believe in. Don't melt.

Not about character at all
Given the country's opposition to the war in Iraq and the growing economic turmoil, McCain's strategists want the election to hinge on character.
It's a misapprehension — or worse, a press conceit — of what "character" actually means to think that that's what the Republicans really want to base their campaign on.
McCain, like Bush, lacks discernible character. He's a cipher for his party's presidential aspirations — a mere tool, the latest in a long line of Republican presidential tools that have continued nearly unbroken (Dole being the exception) since the Nixon debacle traumatized the Republicans into a pattern of weak figureheads dominated by party apparatchiks.
What the Republicans trade in is more like color than character. Maybe someday those who aspire to a criticism of mainstream political discourse will stop dignifying right-wing efforts as being about about anything as substantial as real character.

@ tarvos0
Now, what, 52% of Clinton supporters say they won't support Obama, while 68% of Obama supporters say they'll definitely support Clinton? The Democrat should still win in November, but not until the Clinton group does everything to intimidate, scare and muscle the Democratic party into giving her the nomination.
I didn't start out with any anymosity toward Hilary. I just liked Obama. She's really trying my patience, that's all, so I can't imagine what others who feel as I do are thinking.
I'm thinking that lots of diehard Clinton supporters are lying to the polls, knowing that their only chance is to persuade superdelegates to support her out of fear that BillaryBots will vote for McCain out of spite. They know that's a really dumb idea. They won't really do it, but like the Clintons, they just have to keep trying.

It's Obama
This is the last moment that Clinton will look relevant. It is over. She lost. All of this hang wringing is just silly.
I am sad that my opinion of both Clinton's has gone into the toilet. I was a fan of Bill. When he was impeached I was very vocal in my opposition. I thought that the Right Wing gave him a raw deal. The Clintons have become what they once despised. By playing the same games against Obama they have damaged the Democratic Party and altered the prism that History will use to view Bill's presidency.
I am boycotting Joan. No more posts there. Her pretend blog today was an insult to our intelligence. Joan... just come out of the closet for Hillary and have done with it. It's ok... we won't hate you if you do. What we hate is all of this crazy twisting tortured pretense prose posing as... as what exactly? Certainly not writing truth from the heart. That's why Clinton lost... it just doesn't ring true to those who listen. Phony is as Phony does.

Good of the party
All of these good of the party people.
I have not heard any of them yell that Obama should quit. Clinton has a lot of support as does Obama. they are not that far apart and Obama leads by a small margin.
I hear plenty of them yell that Clinton should quit, but none of them call for Obama to quit.
Maybe they both should quit for the good of the party.

The Democratic Republican fight
For the first time, I did not renew my membership with the Democratic party. Hillary Clinton did it. During her years in the Senate, she has absorbed like a sponge all of the campaign tactics of the Republican party, and joined the ranks of the Tom Delay, Karl Rove, and Dick Cheney alltogether, embarked on a swift boat of crap, which brought us right back to the dreadful 2004 elections. Do we really need a remake, this time from a self proclaimed Democrat? Useless to say what a repellent this is. Each time we think that she went too far down, she digs even lower. Her speeches are self serving, presomptuous, loaded with arrogance. Remember her little gig against hope? It bears a strong ressemblance with that of Rush Limbaugh mocking Michael J. Fox, a nauseating sight. As far as my family is concerned, she not only damaged herself to a point of no return, but damaged the party as well, which seems determined to stick to old politics, lobbying, cronyism, hypocrisy and lies. By trying to crush people's hope that something better is possible, she crushed the Party, and should be damned for it. For her, bitterness is innaceptable, but hopelessness is a proper road to take. For our family and our friends, if she succeeds shoving herself down our throats, she will not be worth a trip to the booth in November.

Do 'concern trolls' write articles now?
Honestly, whoever wins, Obama or Clinton, should be able to stroll into the White House after the decision is made. The only reason McCain's going up is because all the media attention is focused on Obama/Clinton. (Thanks MSM!)
Once it shifts to a D/R battle, all of McCain's poor decisions will be on display. (Of course, this is assuming the media cares to do their job, rather than go to barbecues that McCain hosts and gush about what a great man he is.)

Booooring
Why is it that all these articles with a question mark headline and negative connotations never answer their own questions???
Bad and lazy journalism that is what it is. I've stopped reading them.
