Clinton supporters: please explain how things are now going so well for your candidate.
What good news do you have for us about how things are looking up for her and getting better and better? How have things improved since her wins in Ohio and Texas, even though Obama got more delegates in Texas than she did (with wins like that, who needs losses?)? So many backers of Senator Clinton now seem to exhibit paranoia--everybody is against them, including the media. To support Obama seems to automatically make one a "Hillary hater" in their eyes as their posts get more shrill.

So please, list the positive strides that Clinton has made in the past month including the number of superdelegates who have come out publicly in support of her. Oh, and tearing down Obama is not the same as building up Clinton. So here is your big chance to highlight the happy-happy, joy-joy that you have now. Isn't this exciting!!

Oh, and Obama supporters, please let those who back Senator Clinton have their say here. I am sure it will be very reflective of their attitudes and a good indication of how well things are going.

8. lots of crust

We're loaded with pie. We could settle this whole thing with one big pie-off.

4. I would like to see what they have to say right now.
I really would like to keep a dialog open between both groups of supporters.

5. Oh - would this be a taunt? No - not possible Clearly an honest attempt
to connect with fellow democrats and liberals.

I salute your attempt at promoting openness and free dialog with such a magnanimous offer. You are certainly one of DU's brightest stars.

7. Even with the few replies so far, there has not been one explanation by a Clinton supporter
Edited on Sat Apr-05-08 12:50 PM by elocs
as to why they feel things are going so well for them as the clock runs out. Again we see the tact of not answering the question, but attacking the messenger. Not entirely unexpected though, but I had hoped that somebody might actually list some reasons for hope.

On edit, if Senator Clinton does somehow win the nomination I will be happy to vote for her in the general election. How many Clinton supporters will pledge the same?
