51. Were you around in the 60s? I remember...
fistfights in the streets at political rallies. Seeing Goldwater zealots tossing spittle with veins popping was a a truly horrific sight. But, those were the bottom ranks of the "supporters." they weren't really allowed to do much besides drool on us nasty liberals.

So, when I say it's not personal, I don't mean the people harassing you. To some of them it was intensely personal-- almost a religious experience.

But, to the pros involved, it's still just business. The point is to win, and the stakes are incredibly high. The Clintons are playing to win and they will skate around common decency if they have to. Doesn't make them evil, just politicans playing hardball.

(But, think just how much fun it will be seeing our side GIVING the lumps come November if she's the nominee...)
