Again and again, I have to wonder if many Obama supporters posting here give a damn about winning in November. At most, Obama's pulling 30% of the electorate at present, and yet these people are acting like everyone else - especially the rest of the Democrats - can go fuck themselves.
I say this as a one-time Edwards supporter who really, really doesn't want a Repubican winning the white house. Why are you people anwering any question of Obama with a screech about Clinton being worse? I have news for you - Clinton's finished, and all that screeching accomplishes is to piss off and frustrate the people who favored her (who Obama needs). Focus on McCain, and focus on plugging Obama's weak spots with something other than sarcasm and shouting about a battle that's not only over, but one that needs to be put behind everyone as soon and as gracefully as possible.
Trying to bully Salon into your own version of Fox does not help Obama win. What helps him win is to expand his arguments, expand his constituency, and answer his very real (like every other candidate running) weaknesses.
