We're not holding our breath like brats trying to get our way. Edwards was my candidate. He's not a factor anymore.
Obama *is* the nominee. The only way for us to win in November is to get behind him and work hard NOW.
Clinton (and her putative "supporters") are standing in the way of that. What's more important? That you get your
way or that Democrats win in November?
