...and if you don't think the Republicans have a hand in all this infighting, you're deluded. They have everything to gain from getting the two Democratic camps pissed off at each other.

Don't fall for it.

Hillary Clinton gave John McCain his biggest talking point -- I can see the endless ads he'll run replaying it -- when she was interviewed this morning and said, "John McCain has the experience to be president; I have the experience to be president; Barack Obama has built his whole campaign on one speech he made."

I know that's her way of pushing the Superdelegates, but, once more, the Democrats are on their way to shooting themselves in the foot.

To the extent we destroy each other, we're doing the Republicans' work for them, and they can just stand by and smirk.

We hit him with the kitchen sink. Now it's baseball bat time.

along with their nastiest supporters, to spend two weeks in the time-out chair. Or maybe we can do a Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and lock each candidate in a hotel room for a couple days with his or her whiniest and most annoying, brainless supporters - and no one else. After that, I'm guessing they would learn to behave themselves better. It would make great reality TV too! Everyone wins!

I'm astounded that the winner of the big blues is the one the pundits and Obamiacs think should bow out for "the good of the party." I can only HOPE we all see that he cannot win the biggies and should gracefully depart for his time in the sun in the near future. Not now.

There are real differences between the candidates, and it is not pouting when I say, I don't think I can ever check off Hillary Clinton's name on the ballot.

The candidates must focus on the issues because personal attacks will only give fuel to the Republicans.

If the race against McCain is even close, the Democrats should just pack their bags, because if you can't win against the Hundred Years War, then you have become totally irrelevant.

Glad everyone got the point of the post.

A study right here in Salon (in the 'most active stories' in the left column at the moment) says that "more Clinton voters than Obama voters would defect". So is THAT justification for why Clinton should win the nomination???!!!

Meanwhile the Republicans are salivating and joyful that Hillary still has a shot to be their competitor in November because they have little doubt they can beat her.

Superdelegates, take note: the choice here for the Democratic party is between 1) the same old political games, triangulation, strategies of fear and division; or 2) a candidate who inspires, who offers a new direction, who offers hope, who excites millions of new voters and younger voters into getting involved in politics.

If Hillary gets the nomination, McCain will be our next president, and the Dems will continue to sputter as they have since even winning big victories in 2006.

This is journalism?

And I thought simply providing candidate ads was lazy and horrendous journalism. (Note to War Room staff: normally candidates have to pay to have their ads aired.) This is a new low.

By the way, cscs, before you accuse the Obama supporters of taking their ball and going home you might want to look at the actual data, which says Clinton supporters are more than twice as likely as Obama supporters to vote for McCain in the general.

This entire post was just a heaping pile of fail.

I hope he knows how to do the job if its his time. I'm not convinced. He does, however, give good speeches.

Lafirr:

I think you just proved the point. The differences between Clinton and Obama are small compared to either of them and John McCain. You have just said that you won't vote for Clinton, and then go on to blame "Democrats" as a whole in a conjectured scenario. Maybe you are planning to vote for a MCCain or Nader or not vote anyway. But (and I think at this point there is a good chance is will be a duel ticket with Clinton and Obama) the only way with this much passion and interest the Dems. don't win the election is by people, yes whiny people from both camps, picking up their toys and going home. But my hope is that everyone is going to be grown-ups. Whichever camp has the most people who won't vote for whatever democratic nominee prevails--that's the camp I distrust because they really don't get what is at stake.

I think that the reason Hillary won Ohio and Texas is because she is a woman. The democratic electorate just can't bring themselves to pull the trigger for another male candidate.

...than having all Clinton and Obama supporters go home.

anarprimarism [(an-uhr-prime-ar-iz-uhm)]

The belief that all existing democratic primaries should be abolished and replaced by something that makes fukkin sense.

And a few other things: Hillary Clinton represents everything that's wrong with politics today, especially the dirty republican smear tactics that we've all come to loathe over the past 7+ years. And she's a shrew and a whiner and playing a victim. If she's elected, she'll spend the next 8 years castrating men as payback for her husband's philandering. And she's got fat ankles

So there.

Thank you all for your work on behalf of John McCain and the Republican Party.

Is it too late to find a Democrat who can actually beat John MCCain (I'm shocke I'm even saying that).

"And Obama's supporters, yes, you too are incredibly annoying, with your accusations of Clintonian Republicanism and your whiny little cries about how you're going to take your ball and run home if your candidate doesn't win the primary."

Wasn't it reported a couple days ago that 25% of Clinton supporters were threatening to vote for McCain if Obama was the nominee (with a smaller percent - 10% - of Obama's supporters threatening to do the same if the converse was true)? Why are Obama supporters being smeared as traitors to the party? Is it worth pointing out that it has been the Clinton faction that has been actively pushing this defection rate in arguments for their own candidate's electability?
