Blue Girl – Watson’s bias is 1.) Not enough people are supporting Hillary, and 2.) Not enough people are reading his blog.

But don’t get too excited. This is what we do on the left. Dissension is built in because we tend to be idealistic. Get used to it — some will take their ball and go home if they don’t get what they want, because they firmly believe theirs is the only way, and their candidate the only one. It’s always been necessary to build a voter base large enough to win even if the fringe wanders off and votes for Ralph Nader, or just stays home and pouts self-righteously.

I was an Edwards supporter, but I’ll stay in and vote for the eventual winner of this primary, and in this way the Democrats will win in November. Those who try to bully the (internal) opposition and those whose instinct is to walk out (or go “on strike,” sheesh) are not the voters who will help end the current national nightmare.

The divide widens... Go read this post by Tom Watson.

Count me in as one who will vote for either Democrat. Of course! Any Democrat who runs around saying if their person’s not the nominee, they’ll vote for McCain is an embarrassment to the party. And to themselves. What a bunch of babies.

…President McCain, which will be sort of like another term of President Bush.

I heard Pat Buchanan say that a President McCain will be like Bush on steroids. Pat Buchanan said that!

The Democrats better unite. Or we’re in for a whole heap of trouble.

I knew that was coming. Very Seinfeld.

kStyle - Do you mean "I'm with you," or "I'm with you"? Narya - You're right - there are still a lot of party loyalists and people who will support whichever candidate because they can't stand the thought of four more years. But it seems to me that there is also an inordinate number of seemingly engaged Democratic voters who want their candidate and only their candidate and are willing to walk away from the process, or even vote Republican if they don't get their way, and that kind of scares me because the Republicans do better when people don't vote.

Actually, I have seen a lot of people saying/writing they’ll happily vote for either Obama or Clinton. And count me in there, too, even if I still think Edwards was better than either of them. Also, it’s not just the Supremes, it’s the whole structure and infrastructure, all of which has been gutted by this crowd. (that’s another reason I support Hill; I don’t think Obama realizes that the people in power are not in the least interested in “negotiating.”)
