I understand issues have surfaced recently, and now seem to be coming in a flood -- public financing, FISA, Clark -- and that there's been reaction here. I sometimes have to think a while before I form an opinion on issues such as these, sometimes can easily see both sides, sometimes change my mind. So I'm not taking a position. I'm just trying to get a sense of what's happening on the board.

Are some of Obama's strongest and most vocal Primary supporters -- and the great majority here were Obama supporters, and most were, to say the least, strong and vocal -- now taking a different view of him? If so, is there any action proposed in response? Are there new voices being raised against him?

Are there others, maybe an equal number, who understand his recent actions, some who accept them, some who support them?

Does anyone have a sense whether we're representative of the "netroots" community?

Is this conflict, this raising of the noise level, something you see as continuing throughout the campaign? Is there a chance some will cease supporting Obama? Is the harmony we envisioned when the Primaries ended now gone?

ON EDIT: In asking these questions, I don't intend individual DUers to be named or called out, of course -- just general observations anyone might have.
