    I am not winning over Obama supporters...

    Well, you certainly aren't on target as far as I am concerned. If I thought your mindset were representative of Obama's, then I would be unlikely to vote for him. There have been many people who have been vicious in their attacks, just like you. That sort of approach plays well to the crowd, to those that have the same point of view. However, it typically alienates those who are either uncertain about their beliefs, or your humanity. Perhaps it really is Obama vs. everybody else, and you are just his voice here at Salon. If so, then why are their so many folks that are undecided? The same folks that you are busy alienating.
