Part of what had the two-headed Dean-a Brazile creature (the Filliam H. Muffman of politics) popping its buttons was the cavalry of voters that rendered HRC supportes (among other sizeable chunks of voters) irrelevant.

Where are they?

All Team Obama needed to wheeze over the nomination finish line was the huuuuuuuge cavalry of first-time voters fleshed out by AA voters and a motley crew of Creative Class fauxgressives and indulgent CDS haters jumping at the chance to enjoy open season on the Dems' menace du jour.

I can only assume this flogging is meant to make the Dems look more like the "winning" GOP.

Otherwise, it's baffling as a strategy and it only underscores my realization that this party neither understands nor appreciates what they've driven away to puff up an empty suit and towering ego for short term gain.

Hope the Feminist Lawn Jockeys play well with the hard right, movement conservatives Team Obama expects will swoon over The One's charisma.

"Obama FOR president"

Instead they say:

Obama. President.

Of course, if you call the missing word "for" presumptuous, you're a bad person.

But I am still a PUMA - because my membership was not based on that - I knew the fix was in by last March.

So my PUMA membership - and for many many others - is based on the lack of experience for the candidate to whom this nomination has been handed - not earned.

Call me 'wrongheaded' if you like, but if someone wants my vote, they'd d@mn well better earn it and do what I want. Insulting me, assuming I'll just vote for someone with a (D) after his/her name and tacitly fall into line is not gonna do it.

6. They are not all uneducated.
   
7. They are not all racist.
   

At least in this campaign, the distorted views both sides in the Dem primaries had of the other seemed pretty common online and in the media.

For example:

Not all Obama supporters are under 30, OR African American OR well heeled educated elites OR Hillary Clinton haters.

I'm college educated but I fit in none of the other categories. In fact, except for my education, my profile is a dead ringer for a Clinton supporter, including where I live--upstate New York.

Shouldn't some of Obama's camp be able to lie? ... maybe you might want to give a little effort, just a little, toward courting them. Then you can take it all back later if you want.

The problem with this technique is that Obama used it already to attract many of his supporters and after he nail them, he took it all back. By now, he's too dizzy from all the flip-floping.

Talking about flipfloping... Obama's recent comments to David Brody on CNB are stunning...

Call it he "misspoke" or he "lied": I call it insulting people's intelligence.

Not just here, but elsewhere, sexism just isn't considered important enough.  Back in the primaries, when many, many AAs said they wouldn't vote for Clinton bc of the SC fairy tale remarks, folks got very upset because the remarks were falsely spun.  No one railed against the idea that someone would not vote for an accomplished Democrat like Hillary just because she'd crossed the racism line.  Had she or Bill actually done that, no one would think twice about AAs AND nonAAs drawing the line there.

My lines are more than sexism, but that one alone would be enough for me.

Almost everyone has a line somewhere, they just discount the subject matter of other people's lines.  I mean, if Obama picks Nunn as VP?  If he picked Hagel?  If he gave a speech avidly decrying Social Security and promising to abolish it?  If he switched parties in a blast of happy post-partisanship?  

Obama: Not enough pledged delegates to win nomination
