Whose mind do the Hillary supporters think they are going to change? |
|
Most Obama supporters have left the grounds to begin working on the General Election. Offices are being established around the country. I check in here about once or twice a day, and predictably, there are a bunch of infantile threads insulting Obama ("he has to wee-wee") and Obama supporters, as if we are all some kind of nutjobs. Yeah, that's the way to persuade other people. :sarcasm:
Then there's the math posts, which ya gotta love. I would give an A for effort to some of these posters. Showing that Hillary can win the nomination is like proving that aliens knocked over the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Well, it coulda happened.
The mathematical possibility of Clinton winning the nomination is so small its not worth discussing. She would have to have a sudden and spectacular rise in popularity, which is contrary to the trend of things. People are sick and tired of her, and everyone wants her to bow out.
She had a fair shot at it, she did her best, and she lost to a better candidate. Now its time to move on with the business at hand, which is Obama defeating McCain.
Accept it.

13. I wish they would give us more than two cards. |
|
I mean, we've got the race card and the sexism card. I guess the full deck includes the bitter elitist card and the anti-trailer trash or anti-stay-at-home-mom or anti-redneck card.
I want the deck that has the JOKER!

Has made swing hard in favor of Obama.
And I type that as someone who campaigned hard and heavy for Hillary Clinton in her first Senate Race.

4. When you check in, You don't notice the infantile posts attacking Hillary? |
|
And speaking of which, is the arrogant and insulting tone of this OP supposed to influence Clinton supporters? I can't imagine why the nastiness and condescension inherent in this post is to persuade Clinton supporters to "accept" Obama. If what you contend is true,( and I don't believe it is) and Obama has a lock on the nomination, I would think that Obama needs the Clinton supporters a lot more than Clinton needs the Obama folks at this point and what you hope to accomplish by antagonizing them is beyond me.
Obama cannot win without the support of the Clinton people and if this attitude keeps reasserting itself , he won't get it. Good luck with that.

8. I didn't attack Hillary. |
|
And "tone" is pretty hard to read from a post. I find it frustrating to see people passionately wasting their time on a lost cause. That's not arrogant or insulting. Considering that the number of actual Hillary supporters on DU is much smaller than the number of Obama supporters, the number of insults per poster by the Hillary side is way over the top.

14. You didn't "attack Hillary" ? |
|
"People are sick and tired of her, and everyone wants her to bow out." When she is "tied' with Obama in the Gallup polls? And my point wasn't even that you "attacked" Hillary, I said that there were many infantile attacks on Hillary in GDP. There are also very violent attacks including threats. And telling folks they have to "accept" your point of view is insulting. I do agree with one thing though. I finally agree that posting anything in GDP is a waste of time.And I do recognize at this point that the O supporters mean it when they say they don't care if they get Clinton supporters or not. That is probably why the high numbers of Clinton voters who say they won't support Obama exist. Dean appears to be worried about this yet no one seems to be doing anything to make it easier for these folks to be welcomed to the fold. Have it your way and Good luck .

12. There are a million posts telling Obama supporters |
|
what to do. Everything has been hashed and rehashed, over and over again. I don't see anyone changing their minds here.
What we need to do is get off the messageboard and make phone calls for him to people in Indiana and North Carolina. Staying here arguing is a waste of time.
