Just back from vacation, thought I would add a few rambling comments.
What all Americans must agree is that the party that wins in November MUST NOT be Republican. People should be encouraged to vote for the party that has the chance of winning and that means, like it or not, the Democrats.
I emphasize "encourage" because, calling people crazy is not going to get them to support the Democratic Party. It's a repeat of what went on during the primary that got everyone so angry in the first place.
I get the feeling that Obama supporters are really worried that he might lose. There's a desperation (in the few letters I see here) in their words. Calling people crazy is not an argument. I am also worried that he might lose. I think NYDem08 has a point in the last sentence:
"But what the party can't seem to understand is their desperate attempt to control the election is the very thing that will make them lose it."
I am not happy with the Democratic Party leadership either (although I like Obama himself) but this needs to be made clear after the election, by changing one's registration or starting a new party, working from the grass roots.
