jonathnseer: "It spins in fits, stamps its feet like a spoiled child, screams unfair unfair from a few FIRST TIME HARD hits from Team Hillary."
If anybody is spinning in fits here, it's you with your feverish writing. Spoiled child? Screaming? Do you anthropomorphize everything? Calm down, sit down, relax. Calling Clinton out on her negative tactics is not the same as "screaming."
jonathanseer: "It LOSES 3 HUGE PRIMARIES after a few days of HARD HITTING attacks. ALL IT TOOK WAS A FEW DAYS! Damn!!!!"
A few days....and a few million dollars of concentrated political maneuvering, which still didn't yield the turnaround Clinton needed to even approach a real lead. You're overstating Clinton's win here. All Clinton did was prevent Obama from scoring the knockout punch he wanted to wrap up the nomination. She's still lagging well behind. If that's a win then you've set a very low bar.
jonathanseer: "This DOES NOT BODE WELL for Team Obama in a head to head match up against the Republithug lie/hate/distortion machine."
Obama's team has done well and they've made it this far. They can take on the Republicans. Obama has already scored rhetorical points against McCain and shown he's ready for the big fight. They're getting sharper as they go along. Clinton's attacks may help them get even sharper; we'll see.
jonathanseer: "They'll make Hillary's "hard hits" seem like a the "feel good" hitting one gets in a good hard massage to soothe sore bodies."
Look at you. Do you even read your own messages? You've reduced everything to terms of violence. Earlier you said Clinton "takes a beating." Then you refer to people "spinning" and "screaming." Everything is a physical metaphor for you. Down boy. You're acting like a meathead. "*GRUNT* *GRUNT* she HIT him! *GRUNT* *GRUNT* me like body-slam hits and stupid violent similes *GRUNT*!"
jonathanseer: "Team Obama is made up of the "let's play nice" crowd, who crumble and cry when they hear 'bad, mean' words."
You mock people for wanting to have dignity and manners? What, were your born and raised in a roadhouse bar? Dignity in politics has its merits. It's called "leadership" and "setting an example." It's also called "life is what you make it." Why are you insisting that gutter fights are the only valid reality? Why shouldn't people strive for something higher than that? It's not about crying at "bad, mean words," it's about understanding that the descent to unethical behavior drags everybody down and ultimately degrades society as a whole -- and, you know, maybe we can do better.
jonathanseer: "They are the school bullies who thrive on insulting, demeaning everyone, They've been hurling Republithug filth on Hillary like it's pure white snow."
One second you're criticizing people for trying to play nice, and the next minute you're accusing them of being bullies. You are a wee bit confused, aren't you? Make up your mind -- are they do-gooders, or bullies?
jonathanseer: "But the moment someone has the audacity to hit back, they scream about being treated unfairly, being cheated, being abused by life and society hmmmm."
So Hillary Clinton's campaign is always merely "hitting back," and hasn't started anything at all? Riiiiiight. Anyway, I think it is pretty well established that the Clinton campaign has made a conscious decision to go more negative lately. Spontaneously negative. The proof is in the calculated nature of the attacks. There are numerous examples out there. Open your eyes.
jonathanseer: "Such a constitution in a pitched battle means LOSER MADE TO ORDER! I don't mean Obama himself, but his team."
Odd distinction there...
jonathanseer: "Bottom line is Obama would lose the General Election for that reason. His supporters are chickens, who can't take the heat in the kitchen. Turn it up and they melt like wax."
Let me get this straight: There are chickens who, instead of being in a coop, are in a kitchen, and these chickens are made of wax? My, you do have trouble with your metaphors, don't you?
jonathanseer: "If the Democrats are going to win in 2008, they need a candidate who can TAKE THE HEAT and THRIVE! After 3/4, that is CLEARLY Team Hillary."
Really? Obama leads in the popular vote, he leads in delegates, he leads in endorsements, and he leads in contributions. But, hey, Clinton won 50% of the last 4 states, so.....she wins? Uhhhhhh....
jonathanseer: "And just as clear it is NOT Team Obama made of pretend 'sugar and spice and all things nice" that needs to be kept out of the rain lest it melt into a puddle of sugary tears."
There you go again with the feverish metaphors. You seem to have a deep-seated resentment toward anybody with class. One can only wonder why that might be.

svenson: "Obama call himself black when he is half black and white .. he ignored his mother's hertitage and nobody question him for using the race card to win votes. Why arent the women screaming about that?"
Hey everybody, I would like to introduce you to svenson, our token racist.

I am way too happy....
.....I mean, when is this bliss I feel going to peak? It just gets better every day!!!
I am a Conservative and I am watching, right before my eyes, the Democratic Party self-destruct, not over disorganization which is its usual poison, but over the very things it stands for.
Identity politics, racism, radical feminism!!! It's all here and it's killing the Party. You actually figured that this silly Ivy league kid, with no experience or ability to think logically and the horrid shrill vicious Lady MacBeth are YOUR TWO BEST CANDIDATES????? You were so blindsided by your own racism and sexism that you overlooked Biden, Dodd, Richardson et all, not to mention the dozen or so other really qualified white men who were too terrified to face Hillary (can't blame them but boy ain't Democrats Pussies????)that you allowed yourself to be faced with the choice between these two ridiculous lightweights.
And then, when it couldn't get any better...they start to chew each other up!!
You guys are whistling past the graveyard if you think this is not killing you. You are losing the General Election bit by bit right now. President McCain. Love the sound
Oh well, you still own the Ivy Leagues...and Starbucks
