Democrats Bloodied, does McCain have it easy? Is this getting TOO ugly?
With all the constant negative ads, and negative press from each campaign, it feels like our candidates are going to be in trouble in November no matter who wins. Every time Hillary finds a chink in Obama's armor, the Republicans are quick to jump in after her to jab a wedge in it, and the press fans the flames to make this whole thing just that much uglier. I personally didn't mind who won between these two, I was going to support either, proudly, but this is going too far.

Is all this negativity, and the continuation of this race, just helping the republicans? I know I was very excited about this race a few months ago, first Woman or first African American. After everything that's been in the news so much recently, and coming from each candidate, it's hard to maintain my excitement.

Even the constant negativity from supporters on both sides, here on this very forum. It gets annoying seeing Hillary and Obama supporters alike, make such ugly threads about the other, just to turn around and whine that "Obama supporters are sexist koolade thugs!", or "Hillary supporters are evil corrupt bitches!".

This whole thing has become very disheartening as of late.
