And all my sources agree it's not a done deal, far from it. Dean is working hard to change the primary process. Give him a chance.

On the perceived assumption that HRC will be the nominee, I just don't understand this paranoia and at the same time unyielding, abject hatred of Hillary - both of which BTW feed into and perpetuate the other.

I think Democrats do themselves a great disservice by buying into the STOP HILLARY notion because from what I've come to believe according to my sources, it is generated by the GOP. Yep, that's right, the GOP. And I see people here at DU that only operate out of hatred for her, beyond reason, beyond truth. That's crazy shit and something that makes me really suspicious.

But it feeds into the already established and entrenched anti-HRC mantra here at DU. I won't vote for her in the primary because I won't vote for anyone that voted yes on the IWR, but I will work my ass off for whomever gets the nod. There are some people who frame every issue in the context of the candidate they support. But our world and its problems require a broader view than that right now.

Please feel free to flame me or just ignore me as the stock DU response. I'm sick and tired of people who choose up sides according to matching opinions or whom they support. If we can't accept each other as being thinking people who give a damn about our world, then we haven't matured further than junior high school.
