We are shifting things around here and I like it

With Hillary backing off I see that people here are too and I think that's great. As I said the other day, she seems to be running a nice and clean campaign since last weekend and it's a side of her I like. I see absolutely no reason to kick her while she's down and think if she wants to make a statement by hanging in there until the end then more power to her.

She sent a great message today about supporting Obama over McCain and that she would work for him if he is the nominee. Hopefully, even though some of her supporters may never like Obama, they will come together for the good of the Democratic party.

I think she's working on how to shank Obama while all he sees is a smile.

I totally disagree. I think she did what she felt she needed to do in order to win, it's not the first time we've seen this heated of a battle and in the end I do believe Obama is that much stronger for it. When everything settles, the party comes together and the fact that she's sticking her hand out to him before this is over shows some class.

Besides, what good does it do anyone to bash her after she's stopped other than to promote more division?

You need rhino skin
If youre gonna pretend
Youre not hurt by this world

If you listen long enough
You can hear my skin grow tough
Love is painful to the touch
Must be made of stronger stuff

You need rhino skin
To get to the end
Of the maze through this world

Well Teri B is gone (for the most part). And RK77 is for Obama. So there's nobody who rants like those two.

There is also less difference between McCain and Bush than there is between Obama and John Kerry. America votes for whom they like. IS Obama more likeable than McCain. Having met both of them many times, they are equally Likealble to me, but what about bubba in the Red States and other places?

The Teri B's of the world? Would Teri B vote for McCain over Obama? I think she would.

To me the baby step is seeing more substance to posts. There may be the same level of animosity.....but that goes up and done on a pretty regular bases anyway.

Sure there has been a step up in negative threads about Clinton but the debates within them have much more information. I can see it.

There may never be a group hug here....but that may be a good thing...what with the shank Idea and all! LOL!
