Obama supporters: help me out on this dkos diary. It seems, um, "manufactured"
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/31/224553/233/114/447360

Here's the thing: this diary was put up at 7:50 pacific time. So that is 10:50 our time. The debate ended at 10.

Thing is look at the diary: it has TEXT of what Hillary said plus clips, and the most hysterical thing of it all: reviews from pundits where it cuts out the fact that most of them felt Obama won.

I just really dislike the feel of the Hillary campaign. It is not organic at all. And here's the thing: Alegre started out on Kos as "one of us". Yet she can't write an original diary anymore. It has to be this spin doctor BS.

Hillary did well in the debate. Then I see a diary like this one, and I am turned off by her all over again.

Don't worry, I'll vote for her if she gets the nom. I still am icked out by how manufactured her support feels.

1. Interesting
There they seem to be using people who really were part of the community. Here, there are a huge number of people who seemed to have appeared in late Oct or early Nov - some now have 1000 points. Someone outed a bunch of them a few days ago - which is against the rules - but I have started to click on the profiles of unfamiliar names that had 1000+ posts because of that post.

2. On Kos? I didn't think you could tell number of posts.
There was a poster on DailyKos named "Lorelynn", and she was banned or something. Perhaps a paid operative? I still haven't figured it out, just that Obama supporters will mention her once in a while, even though she is gone.

I don't think Alegre is paid; I just think she is spoon fed info, and she doesn't write original thoughts anymore. She is plain and simple a hack now. She didn't used to be like that, even though she had always supported Hillary. She wrote this absolutely disgusting screed the other day where she imagined what Obama was thinking during the snub: "bitch". I mean what the HELL? Total garbage for which I called her on it. The response from the Hilbots? "That's politics". Like the Bushbots used to say. Sigh.

3. I'm sensing the same thing you are.
The pro-Hillary posts are way out of proportion to the poll votes she gets here and at dkos. I'd not seen so much Hillary or Clinton support here before last fall.
