I get what you're saying, and if I really liked Obama I probably wouldn't let some lame supporters bother me so much. But because I was already on the fence about Obama (I like a lot of what he has to say about policy, but I don't think he has enough experience, I distrust his enthusiasm for compromise, and I really hated how his campaign set out to portray the Clintons as racists during the primaries), I guess I'm a little more affected by the negativity.
Anyway, I live in the bluest of blue states, so if I throw a little support to a worthy third party, I don't think it does much harm to the Dems chances. I didn't post on the subject to make a big deal about my own vote, but because I really hate to see the progressive side betraying its own values. Maybe I just have spent too much time reading Salon lately! I'm not usually a scold, and I realize that this is just an Internet forum, but I would really like to see a higher level of discourse here.
There are so many legitimate reasons to criticize Palin!
