		<description>Memo to people who support Senator Obama:

There aren&#039;t enough big issue differences between Senator Obama and Senator Clinton to sustain an argument outside of the world of political junkies and policy wonks.  Therefore, the only attack issues are personal attacks.

Senator Obama just won ten straight primaries/caucuses.  Support for him appears to be growing steadily while support for Senator Clinton is fading steadily.  When one&#039;s candidate is winning, it is useless, not to say unseemly, to be crying about desperate attacks from the supporters of the candidate who is losing.  Therefore, just ignore them.  They will be very quiet after March 4th.

		<description>Well, Clinton did get &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3mw49mk_x0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;these folks&lt;/a&gt;, though who actually did the voiceover is unclear to me (but makes me want to join immediately.)

		<description>Yes, insulting your constituency is working so well for the Republicans, it must be the winning stragety!  The only thing that gives me pause is that Bob Shrum says it&#039;s a bad thing, and I hate agreeing with him.

		<description>The Obama Derangement Syndrome comes from existing in denial and in a bubble and its only getting worse as we get closer to clinching time.

They cannot fathom that Mark Penn was so, so wrong and that Hilary not only simply wasn&#039;t inevitable, she didn&#039;t even have the best Democratic campaign of the frontrunners.

So, since it can&#039;t be that people didn&#039;t want to embrace Hilary Clinton, since she is inevitable, and since it can&#039;t be that the Clinton campaign was a disaster, since its the only ruthlessly competent lean mean Democratic machine that can fight the right, it must be that Obama and everybody else is crazy, deranged, sexist, and-or deluded.

So fine, lets set aside how sad that is and look at pointing at Obama and screeching and screaming like a rabid howler monkey, insulting voters that didn&#039;t vote for Clinton, and dismissing states that didn&#039;t go for Clinton, as a functional day-to-day campaign strategy.

How was this strategy of vomiting bile and derision supposed to make people, who weren&#039;t already Clinton supporters and are inclined to vote for somebody else in the first place, drop that preferred choice and vote for Clinton?

I didn&#039;t see any part of Sun Tsu that advocated peeing on people in your camp who don&#039;t agree with you as being the best way to rally people to your view of better leadership.

		<description>man, I really don&#039;t like this division. It seems to be really true that Clinton is one of the most divisive figures in politics today, more so than Joe Lieberman and Bush. Why do her supporters embrace the fracturing of the party? It makes no sense.

If you people gonna be racist pricks, then just come out and own it and say you don&#039;t want a ni**er in a position of authority.have the courage of your indefensible convictions, for gods sakes.

That goes for you too, Taylor Marsh.
