On the question of the photo that's caused so much concern today, the candidate and her advisors stick to one message, blaming the media and the Obama campaign.

    To be fair, I suspect most of the more testy posts from Obama supporters are in response to the spammers (our favourite anonymous, WES, factcheck2, and the late cythera45). By and large the exchanges with the more level-headed Clinton supporters (like ljwalker) have for the most part been somewhat heated but well within the range of healthy debate (of course there are also more strident obama supporters...like rufus, who I tried to call out a few days back). I can appreciate your concern, but I don't think it's entirely warranted. Take a look at the war room article about whether Clinton should drop out - there's a significant number of Obama supporters (myself included) who think this talk is silly, that we should at least wait until March 4th (as Clinton's campaign have made that their firewall, we should wait until the dust settles there before making any statements about withdrawl).

    The most odious though is "anonymous" who hasn't met a tinfoil hat conspiracy he/she didn't like...I think he/she should take alot of the responsibility for the general tone these last few days (did you read his/her spamming over the weekend?? It was bordering on lunacy)

    thanks for your time,
