1. Yes, Obama has really been a disappointment.

2. That would be me.

I don't know who's mostly to blame, but I'm really just tired of it all. I'm sure it will all work out in the end. I'm just trying to ignore them for the time being.

3. I stopped paying attention, for the most part, long ago
This long, drawn out fight will seriously harm the Dems' chances in November, IMO.

The only upside is that by comparison, McCain is getting little attention - which is a negative as well as a positive, as the Dem nominee can't be out talking about McCain's flip-flops, waffling, changing positions for political gain.

The whole Wright issue just annoys the heck out of me. I don't care what Obama's pastor said. And what little I've actually heard from him...sure, it's politically inexpedient, and maybe not the most popular positions, but I don't think it's a big deal. Of course...I haven't necessarily heard everything he said. I consider his views essentially irrelevant, anyway. He wasn't out there campaigning for Obama like the right-wing nut religious have been for McCain.

4. See, I'm just not seeing the "they're both doing it" thing.
I have yet to see Obama lie about, say, dodging nonexistent sniper fire.

And I was for DK. You think I'd see it, but I just don't. Maybe they're NOT both doing it.

5. This Edwards supporter just wants the Dems to win, damn it!
and I don't see either of the two we are left with as sure as some here do.

I want to like them both, really I do, but they keep f#$king up!!!

6. Edwards supporter here.
Yes this thing is a fiasco, but I think largely because of Clinton's actions. I wish John had been able to do better, stay in, and take this thing. I think he would have made a better President than Obama or Hillary.

But this is politics. Your guy doesn't always win. As Dems we know that better than anyone. So we pick up the pieces and continue fighting.

No, Obama wasn't my first choice. I even supported Hillary for a while right after John left. He's not perfect, but I like the guy and MAN is he SMART and level headed. And I certainly like the idea of changing this country.

We need to realize that he's the best chance we've got. I, for one, am sticking by him.
