6. Same here. I just logged on. I am SO happy for Obama, but
I know how it feels when your candidate loses. Clinton is a great candidate too, and I extend my support
to all those who support her. :hug:

9. Yes! K&R. Let's all K&R this
The levelheaded threads like this one sink like a stone, while the ones filled with hate and juvenile rantings rack up the recs.

How 'bout we all change that by K&Ring this waaaay up!

I gotta tell you, I watched her speech in Ohio and said to myself, this woman is no quitter. I love a fighter.

15. Very happy to kick and rec this, H!
Helping send ya to the TOP of the Greatest Page! (For those who still haven't hidden all GD-P threads anyway -- and I've had to un-hide them sometimes because I really want to know what's happening in the campaigns, then end up having to use the hide feature again ... so sad.)

Let's get the healing going sooner rather than later, why don't we?

22. I've pretty much decided I'm going to vote for Obama
Having said that, I know how the Hillary supporters are feeling tonight. My first choice was Edwards this round and I've felt the pain of loss and in the end the blow of losing a dream.

Hillary still has a chance people! This thing isn't even close to over yet.

It's hard not to paint Obama's supporters with a broad brush after all the unseemly gloating tonight, but you're one of the best.

34. LOL!
I just gave you a kick at the exact time you kicked. :P

Maybe the normal Clinton supporters are all in bed and all that's left on the board are the ones spoiling for a fight?

38. Thanks- most days it doesn't feel like it.
I'm going to have a hard time working for Obama in the GE, not because of him, but rather because of the extreme negativity I now have at the mere mention of his name. The posts have become so nasty they have driven away many of us. Personally, I cringe when I see his name now. He doesn't inspire hope in me, I don't believe his pretty words and because of that I am some sort of pariah... sigh.... are the damn primaries almost over because I am emotionally and mentally exaughsted.

In the end I will work for and support whomever is chosen, because I love my Party and my Country and the stakes are just too damn high.

Here on DU...I can't say as I will be prone to hugging many Obama supporters after the events of the last few months.

I would expect some Obama supporters to feel the same way about the Hillary supporters behaving badly on this side.

The last two weeks.... I have seen some pretty ugly things being said by what I thought were some pretty good people.

I am disillusioned and saddened at how far DU has fallen.

I am not naive but I wish the sniping could stop. Calling each other names has never won anything.

45. You are pure class, helderheid.
There need to be more positive threads like this one in this forum, and I'm glad you started this one. I'm not really supporting either candidate, but in the GE, I will support whoever wins the Dem nomination. We are on the same side, and our common enemy (read: McCain) should be clear.

Best of luck to your candidate. :hi:
