How can it be possible that General Discussion: Primaries |
|
is now more of a toilet bowl than it's already been?
I mean with all of the crappy rumor threads with no links and sources.
Someone hears someone say something half way through a conversation and all of a sudden it's ********************BREAKING NEWS************************ :eyes:
The "PLEASE REC this if..." threads that never stop. :puke:
Oh my Lord.
I'm almost rooting for Obama now just to make this all end.

15. It is not me, DU RULES. Once we have a PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE |

Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 05:39 PM by nadinbrzezinski
that is the way it works.
Sorry
Consider that a PSA
And I figured I'd add this per Skinner
"At some point between now and the Democratic convention in August, one of the two remaining Democratic front-runners will drop out of the race, and the remaining candidate will become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. When we have a presumptive nominee, the time for fighting on DU will come to an end. The squabbling will not drag on until the "official" nomination at the convention in August. The transition to general election mode begins when we have a presumptive nominee. And we have no doubt that the vast majority of our members -- regardless of which candidate you support in the primaries -- will be glad to move forward and support the nominee.
We understand that not everyone will be prepared to immediately put the primaries behind us. There will be some jerks on the winning side who insist on gloating. And there will be some sore losers on the other side who will want to keep attacking the nominee. Once we have a presumptive nominee, those people will have one week to get it out of their systems. We believe that a one-week transitional period is more than fair for those of you who cannot switch gears easily or quickly. After this week-long adjustment period, we're done."

14. Both of these teams seem soft to me. |
|
I don't know why, but I feel like neither of them are really "finals" material.

22. Are you referring to the 'whitey' tape rumormongering? |
|
If that's what you mean, I agree with you. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

23. Yeah, the tape that does not exist yet has a perfectly reasonable explanation. |
|
I'm still having a hard time figuring that one out.

25. I don't know much about it, other than that there's no evidence that shows it exists thus far. |
|
SO...can't really say it has a reasonable explanation till we actually see if it exists.

It is a very small step from there to: "I'm rooting for Obama". Come join us.
