Give it time. It's not like he's a moving target or anything.
LOL! I'd rec if I could.
Well done Shaun!
it's early.
Instead of working to point out all of McCain's negatives, it's time now to try to heal the divide. For me, the first step in that is to regain Hillary's rightful place among the blogosphere as a good and loyal Democrat who has done great things for America.
If folks won't accept that, then they are not willing to heal the divide and work together to defeat McCain.
The divide as healed.
Well you would be seriously wrong there.

I think you're wrong. There is a divide, and I think it will take longer than your Monday deadline to "get over it".
If you want to go after him, fine we'll catch up w/ ya later on down the road. Right now, I'm more worried about getting down-ticket races shored up for the next two months in order to be able kick some GOP ass. That is the only way Obama will be able to really win in November.
It's ground up, not top-down that wins elections and something that Hillary's team forgot, despite the plea's from the likes of Ickes and others.
Right now I'm busy getting ready for my State Convention, and sizing up cadidates to challenge the Senate seat and State House/Senate races. I have no interest in "healing" w/ Obama at the moment. And those looking to force it will only delay the process.
because I don't join the jubilant throng, I am now a 'suspected subtle form of troll'.
Wow.
No, I'm no troll, I do live on a river near a bridge, but not under it, thank you very much.
I never made it 'about' Clinton. But if you want to ignore that her supporters need to have her placed back squarely in the high regard that she deserves and they demand, you will be making a mistake. That's one of the things that drives me mad about Obama supporters in general, anything that is not resounding praise of their chosen candidate is somehow not appropriate. To 18 million Democratic primary voters, this IS appropriate, and required.
Keep on the good fight, continue to diss her and her supporters at every chance you get. It doesn't help. No one wants you to hold our hand or give us 'three weeks of blogger therapy' (are you qualified for that?). You do, however have to start to show a little respect. Ignore that, and the party (which I am no longer part of, Dean's fault, I am now NPA) will not heal.
The reason I suspect you're a troll is, actually, because of this line:
...the first step in that is to regain Hillary's rightful place among the blogosphere as a good and loyal Democrat who has done great things for America. If folks won't accept that, then they are not willing to heal the divide and work together to defeat McCain.
It's conditional crap like this that I think is useless and does nothing but treat people who differ from your point of view as though they're idiots.
You know, that's my opinion, and I am entitled to it.
Frankly,my dear, I don't give a damn about your 'suspicions', because I know my motives and my record of support for Democratic candidates. Your 'opinion' of me or your 'suspicions' are about as relevant to me as the toilet problems on the space shuttle were before they were fixed.
Now, 18 million .... COUNT THEM, 18 MILLION voters were for Hillary. Ignore their feelings if you think that's wise. Frankly I think that those who are not willing to relent and restore Hillary to her rightfully respected status in the party are much more of a problem for 'unity' than folks like me who are labeled a 'troll' because you don't like my message.

18 million voters (mostly Democrats at that) supported Hillary over Obama, He won with a larger count by a slim margin given him by independents.
No where did I say that Hillary's voters would choose McCain. Most will not. Some may choose to leave the spot blank, that is their right to do so. No, Hillary has nothing to prove at this point. However, her supporters deserve more than having our noses rubbed in every pile of manure some of the blogosphere folks can find or invent. Ignore that if you think it's helpful
Well, since you think I don't have anything interesting or relevant to contribute, please by all means, accept my cordial invitation to eternally skip my commentary and keep your oh so wise and learned opinions to yourself.
I'm giddy to think all these people I've had fervent disagreement with are actually on my side. We have a chance to make republican neoconservatism as relavent as libertarianism.
Onward and upward.
about that, I wrote one on the push back against Lieberman and how McCain hates kids (with sourcing from Sean Reagan of TheBackForty for that.
Anther reason I left off He turned down Ellen's gracious offer to walk her down the aisle.
I'm as giddy as a teenage boy with his first condom. Finally I can crack jokes on this site that most people will laugh at.
thats not really funny.
Yeah I agree with my fellow commenters. I agree we are DYING to take him on but let's give everybody the week. Hillary will do the right thing on Saturday and then next week we can start brainstorming and poopstirring all together to get the White House back !
I'm ready to start trashing McCain now.
You'll have a full 5 months, don't worry.
So what is stopping you?
go ahead, start a diary on it.
Go ahead and start trashing. Get involved in your local races and State races. Trash him there, along with their opponents.
Otherwise, like a teenage boy w/ his first condom, you're just gonna be waiting around impatiently w/ the thing making a ring in your wallet and still have no hope in using it for a while, and by then it may be no good! ;)
I'm sure your local guys/gals can use some of that excess energy right now.
"OK, you had your day to grieve, now it is time to get back to work at what you all do best."
I encourage both Clinton and Obama supporters to recognize that the diarist is most likely a paid GOP operative. No Democrat would write anything so searingly devoid of empathy.
We need to be wary of GOP diarists and posters pretending to be supporters of either candidate attempting to foment disunity. Before the diary ended, the majority of trolls were impersonating Clinton supporters. Now that the primary is over, they will be imitating Obama supporters and using inhumane thoughts like the above to scare people away from voting for Obama.
Every time I see your name, I see your posting:
"I hate Hillary Clinton".
Most women have long memories.
