http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/27/143533/931/88/523677Great idea I think, no need nor reason to turn this into a circus.

16. I love the fact that they want people to do the voter registration drive instead - Vote for Change. |
|
It is just fits Obama and his campaign perfectly. Damn they are good. :)

6. There was some talk of organizing something |
|
over the weekend and today because they saw that Clinton was making this a sort of last stand and show of force. The Obama campaign decided to kill that idea in the crib.

5. SUCH a refreshing way to run a political effort. |

Makes Rush Limbaugh and his set look pretty damned stupid.

7. I think this is wise leadership... |
|
...and it is consistent with the Obama campaign.
The Obama supporters who called me and showed up in my driveway and doorstep--were respectful and gracious.
The campaign is always encouraging people to be better.
I'm glad to see this.

...just outside of Des Moines.
If I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you, I'm sure that many others did and were massively impressed.
Obama supporters were some of the most classy, kind-hearted, intelligent and impressive people I've ever met.

27. Different Obama supporters here at DU |
|
Respectful and gracious are the last words one could use to describe most of them here. There are a few who try to engage in meaningful discussion, but they're in the minority.

This is an anonymous messageboard.
Many people come here to vent. I sure don't carry the unreasonable expectation that Hillary supporters, or Obama supporters are accurately represented within the context of an anonymous messageboard.
I've been actively involved in the primary--as a precinct captain--and also as a delegate at the county, district and state level. I've sat with dozens of Hillary supporters at the conventions and had reasonable conversations.
I tend to vent my anger here, but I'm much more reasonable in person.
I think most reasonable people understand that GDP is one big, online histrionic cat fight.
We're all frustrated and exhausted. Emotions run high.
Since I can't zing one liners at the Clinton people I know in real life--it's pure joy and a release to be able to do it here. The back and forth is a release :)

Registering people to vote is a way better idea than a counter protest. I wish I could help, but I have to work.

God, is it a well run, temperate campaign.
Oh, btw, I do have exciting news (as I mentioned I might), but now is not the appropriate time to share it...

26. Worried about media coverage? |
|
The mess Obama's campaign has created with the FL & MI primaries won't reflect well on the Dem party.

31. Your attempts and turning this thread into a mud-slinging event have failed as |
|
miserably as Hil's sleaze-and-fear campaign. Thanks to all the other Obama supporters for ignoring the trolls, just like the campaign has taken to ignoring the Shrill Hill & Bill.
