10. The influx of right-wingers into the party will do more damage than only killing
her candidacy. They are killing the principles that have been a part of Democratic thinking for a long time.

As the country and the party go further right, it will be interesting (and sad) to see what the party comes to stand for.

The rampant sexism expressed by the Obama supporters is most disappointing. In addition, his defense/abandonment of Rev. Wright is an example of him trying to run away from the left to appeal to his friends on the right.

From the Clinton side, the attacks on Obama are further signs that the values that I used to think were a given if you were a Dem are now secondary to the quest for power.

A pox on both their campaigns. Where are the real Democrats?
