The bad thing about bandwagons...
is that they inevitably hit potholes, and everyone falls off.

Obama'll get my vote and my support, but I don't have any desire to "unite" with the most outrageous Obama zealots.

(Note that many Obama supporters at DU have maintained their sense of objectivity about our candidate...this post is geared to the ones who see Obama as a savior and who can't understand why other people don't wish to hold such views.)

2. Nope...
just establishing the fact that he'll get my vote, but I won't fawn over his clothing or his sunshades...mush less expect him to fundamentally change DC.

3. Obama is an opportunity. What we make of this opportunity is what's important.

8. It's the White House, Stupid
Those of us that supported and loved HRC have no other alternative now but to keep our eye on the prize. I can't tell you how much that sucks, but not winning back the White House sucks even more.

10. Most Obama voters don't behave like the petulant teenagers supporting him here did. NOT typical.
DU, again, does not accurately reflect reality of the Democratic party, or voters as a whole.
