The New York Times columnist says the Democratic race is turning into "Nixonland," and that the Obama campaign verges on a cult of personality.

    I have been reading the posts and blogs for months. I am an Obama supporter and while I have seen some supporters of Obama making rude comments about clinton. I have seen many more comments directed towards Obama and his supporters. I have heard Obama supporters called everthing from sheep to a cult. In his ownb column he has proven himself that Clinton supporters are more of a detriment to the calescence of the democratic party than Obama supporters. Since when has calling someone a cult and likening them to Nixon been a way of working towards party unity. If thats the way Clinton and her supporters work towards unifying the Democratic party then I am afraid for the future of this party. People need to take responsibility for their own actions. In the end if Clinton gets the nomination I will vote for her. however I do have some issues with some of the tactics she has used in this campaign. I know some of thses tactics have changed some peoples opinions on Clinton. My daughter and I have been supporting Obama almost from the start. We both caucused for Obama in Nevada. My mother caucused for Clinton but told me yesterday she now regrets her decision based on the way the Clintons are running their campaign. If anyone is divisive in my opinion its the Clintons.
