"See, that's the funny thing. I hardly think he's perfection incarnate so you can drop the strawman. What I saw was Hillary, who was expected to be crowned Queen at the start of the Primaries, who was the insider favorite, who had the war chest and the heavy contacts within the DNC, who was a name brand thanks to her husband, go down in flames from a charismatic rookie. That should show you just how fragile your precious candidate really is.
But alas, I should speak badly of her majesty so off with my head!
As for raising millions she is now in the hole for just that amount and can't seem to get bailed out by her supposedly loyal following of "18 million". Go figure"
What is funny is that as a Democrat I was not expecting you to continue to harbor this resentment against another Democrat. That is definitely a sign of immaturity. During the start of the Democratic primary in 1988, Jesse Jackson was the choice of majority of registered voters. I did not hear anybody say that he expected to be crowned king because of his name recognition, inside connection and all the crap you touted. It is nothing new. What is new is the vehement attack on Hillary. It is not necessary for you to continue to use the primaries to bash another Democrat. That is not what Obama that you claim to support wants.Obama wants party unity and knows that he cannot do it without the other part of Democrats who supported Hillary. Insulting Hillary is not helpful and I believe it is idiotic to do that.
Regardless of what you think Obama does not agree with you that is the reason he gave the Clintons slots at the convention, and may still lean on them to campaign for him and Biden. I hope all of you who claim to support Obama grow up and stop this anti-Hillary nonsense you continue to spew and concentrate on John McCain and his possible choice of running mate that is the person Obama is running against, not Hillary. It is childish to give the Republicans and the media ammunitions of party in-fighting to beat the Democrats with.
