Political battles draw blood, but not always the right kind.
That's so not on. Not only does it mock Obama, it mocks all the people who believe in him. Ultimately, the people who change the world don't do it alone; they do it by rallying the masses, getting them to do the dirty work. There's lots of dirty work to be done, and I'm willing to do some of it

I was really trying to stay unbiased. Until this, I would've been happy voting for either candidate. After all, in Michigan, I didn't get an opportunity to cast a vote for anyone but Hillary or Kusinich, and no matter what I cast, it wouldn't count. We've had no campaigning in this state at all.
I'm certainly not angry at my fellow Democrats either way. I disliked her speech, because I saw it as mocking the people who would need to vote for her in a general election, but I have no problem with anyone who supports either candidate. This was still a legendary primary. If she wins Ohio and Texas, and takes the super delegate vote, she may yet win.
I read your post back on Super Tuesday, and I agree with a lot of it. She is a smart woman, who is an excellent legislator. I just don't think she's serving herself well. After the debate in TX, I was all set to vote for either one. Now, if she wins the nomination, I'd struggle to be motivated to campaign for her, and I've campaigned for every Democratic presidential nominee since Michael Dukakis.
I had only sent money to the DNC prior to this, to support the final candidate. I didn't want to have to choose, since I didn't have the opportunity to choose for the primary. That's why I was so irked by the video. As someone who used to see the appeal of McCain, I think that it will take a concerted effort of all of us to prevent that independent voters swing. (Although I much appreciate his "keep talking about Iraq" policy. Keep it up, McCain!)
