anything except their cranky candidate up the steep path to a nomination he will never achieve! Everything else is just a bunch of losers shaking their tiny fists.

The climate at DU has always been a little crazy. The goofy jury system was bound to open the door to every kind of fringe element floating around the internet and the "Silly Season" drove the whole place into a frenzy.

I hadn't even been near DU for 8 or 9 months before the primaries. The anti-Obama faction had taken over and turned the place into a bitter cesspool. As soon as Hillary is elected, they will do it again and it will be time to leave again. There are so many more productive and interesting places to spend your time.

I'm happy to leave the place to the "Hair on Fire" crowd. They don't have to push me right, left or out. After I spike the ball for Hillary I am already gone.
