and not become confrontational with the Hillary screamers. This again demonstrates to me how Obama is a highly effective
leader who rises above the dust-ups with rare dignity and grace -- unlike another candidate who's name is Hillary, who's
apparently willing to sacrifice the Party to her own selfish ambitions.

ON balance I think this has been a great day for the Party, and for democracy, and for moving beyond the MI and FL pissing
matches.

I can't wait until Weds. when hopefully this nightmare will be over and we can focus on defeating McBuah.

1. I agree
I had my doubts while it was going on, but they did an excellent job in the end.

4. Now that I think of it, it's an excellent example of his kind of "non-confrontational" leadership.
that stays focused on matters of substance, that states it's position clearly without bullying, whining or playing victim,
that refuses to engage in petty self-serving publicity pranks. It's so damn refreshing after 8 years of Bush to have this
kind of candidate, esp. when Clinton doesn't seem to offer a clear departure from such tactics.

8. this is how politics USED to look when Tip ONeill and Republican counterparts
could freely chat and exchange ideas and it wasn't all red state/blue state or even further divisive into middle aged white women and "all the rest".

It's very refreshing.

5. It was a brilliant move on Obama's part.
The Clinton supporters made complete asses out of themselves. Definitely a class move to stay away from that.
