Old crones (5.00 / 3) (#81)

The Obama campaign manages to disrespect and alienate large numbers of potential voters with every move it makes. It's a puzzling approach to unity, this deliberate burning of bridges and stubborn inability to see the forest for the trees.  Judgment?

The Supreme Court (5.00 / 4) (#108)

is important, but what is more important is the Dems keep picking the WRONG candidate.

You can fight a bad Supreme Court choice, it's been done before.  Get a strong Congress and you can tie the hands of McCain easily.  Bush got away with as much as he did because of the Republican Congress.  But that has changed.

The SCOTUS is no excuse to put a mediocre president.

It won't work.

Obama's nominee for SCOTUS will be just as bad as McCain's.

If the Dems let him get away with this, we will have two Republican parties in America, and nobody left to represent the people.

Unify behind the candidate means "vote for a new coalition Democratic party" - one with no place (and no representation) for what used to be the core of the Democratic party.

i want to run to the bath and barf (5.00 / 2) (#226)

when i hear pundits claim obama ran a brilliant campaign. this diary makes some points on that score. when obama loses the ge(almost assured), the people who write about this campaign later won't be so suck up about it. they can compare it to jesse jackson's rainbow coalition, and it will not compare well.

this campaign has essentially broken the democratic party. the donkey is running on life support and doesn't even seem to know it. good luck with that.
