769 words / 90 seconds is only 8.5 words per second.  What are you, two?

I get the idea, but in targeting those few people who won't vote Democratic, your diary reads as if you're minimizing the legitimate complaints of people who will vote Democratic, and it may thereby annoy the latter.

Jaysus are people still blathering on about a few people who aren't going to vote for Obama?  

They have made up their minds.  Let it go.  

LOL. this has to be snark

 Leave it on the other diary where it's going on. Don't give another place where their voice can be heard.

Failure to unite the party and engage in healing and demonstrations of mutual respect are going to cost Dems the election in November.

I say this as a Clinton supporter who has grown weary of being constantly attacked by members of my own party.

I'm nearly past the point of caring what happens this election cycle.  No matter how hard I try to unite and support Obama, it seems impossible for a day to pass when some Obama supporter reminds me of what an ignorant, corrupt, selfish a**hole I was for supporting Clinton in the first place.

I've pretty much come to accept that the party has been hijacked by a younger, less experienced, divisive and hateful group of Obama supporters.  They have nothing in common with the fellow Dems who helped elect Bill Clinton for 2 terms or who helped get Dems elected to local and state office.

Experience has taught me that if these kids manage to get Obama elected, nothing much will be accomplished.  And the odds of them electing him are remote.  I've come to accept that we won't see universal health care, an end to the Iraq War or an improvement in the US economy for at least 4 or 5 more years.  

So be it.  I'm enjoying my newfound freedom, spending time with my family instead of campaigning and volunteering; saving my money instead of donating to political campaigns.

When you all grow up and want to start acting like Democrats who build on the party's past policy successes instead of tearing them down, I'll get involved again.

But for now, adios.

HR/TR mission you were on last night appealing for help from the admins. when you sit and let you group HR every comment I made here...

if it quacks like a duck

is not helpful in any way shape or form.

hm.

Carmella was not impressed with all the kissing, laughing and whispering that Hill and Bam were diligently doing for the cameras, so that the moment could produce, as Obama press aide Robert Gibbs put it on "Larry King Live," "a great picture."

When it was Obama's turn to speak, Carmella announced loudly, "I wish I had ear plugs." Then, as Obama tried to ingratiate himself with the Hillary partisans in the crowd by saying that because of the New York senator, his daughters "can take for granted that women can do anything that the boys can do and do it better and do it in heels," Carmella put her fingers in her ears.

As Obama tried to curry favor with Hillary, looking over at her sensible, sturdy shoes and marveling, "I still don't know how she does it in heels," Carmella tore up a tissue and stuffed it in her ears.

Afterward, Carmella got her idol to autograph her sign, telling the smiling Hillary, "You're going to be the next president."

She told The Times that she and her friends were all voting for John McCain and that Hillary was just doing what she had to do.

this diary is right on the mark. The reasoning is completely irrational. In fact there is no reasoning other than a desire to get back at the dem party, the media and??? fill in the blank. It is a classic cut off your nose to spite your face.
