I am starting to think there is something wrong with me.
Although neither were my first choice, I support both Clinton and Obama. (some of both of their supporters I could do without)

There are many things I like about each of them and a few things I dislike about each of them, but I will gladly support which ever one gets the nomination. They are both miles better than what we have right now and what we could end up with if we don't get our shit together.

I am starting to think if I don't hate one of them I must not be paying close enough attention.
Or maybe I am just not reading between the lines enough.

I see Clinton as one of the smartest, people we have seen running for President in many decades. Someone with great ideas and the knowledge and guts to get them done.

I see Obama as someone who can excite and motivate this country for change, especially young people, with positive ideas as oppose to fear or hate. Something we have not seen in a very long time.

But I do fear if we don't stop attacking each other and each other's candidates we are going to hand the Whitehouse back to the repubs.

2. Do yourself a favor and keep out of GD-P.
Insanity is contagious.

3. You're Absolutely Right. In My Opinion, There's Only Something Wrong With Those Who Wouldn't Admit
that they are both amazing candidates of which we should be proud.

4. Not worth reading between the lines of many of those posts

5. Welcome to the embarassment of riches
We have great candidates. In fact, all of them were great compared to the other kids. Just the same, the passions will run deep until this thing is over.

Take comfort in the fact that the repubs are crumbling while we are racing to the top. :)

Migrating from Gore to Kucinich to Edwards... I find both Hillary & Barak, while not ideal, either of them.. Not too bad either of them..

7. We WILL have a ClintBama presidency
Overall, they really aren't that different on the issues. It's all down to style right now, which is why you don't see a lot of issues-based debates anymore.

Either one is better than whatever ideological fossil the GOP puts forward.

8. OHMYGOD!!!!!
SANITY! What is wrong with you??? :rofl:

But seriously, I do hope that come the General Election there will be more people like you out there than some of the hyperventalating children who do their candidates little good.

I can't muster up the energy to be constantly mean and spiteful.

11. Maybe that's it. It seem exhusting to be so pissed off all the time.
Feeling bummed is exhusting enough. I prefer to get excited about 1-21-09.

9. I agree, they are both good in different ways.
I don't agree our arguing during the primaries will lose the Presidency though. The republicans already have their candidate and they are arguing so our arguments are tiny in comparison. Hang in there the primaries will end some day.

10. the democratic party is trying to self-destruct again
this was NOT the year to get all historical in our candidates
we desperately need to gain control of the Presidency and improve the control over the Congress
