Dear, not the only source nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #22

I'm objecting to the use of this one - in violation of the tos, I think, not my personal rule bigtree Jun 2014 #26

You question any source that puts any shadow on her, which is a problem nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #27

That's what many on DU are attempting to push as well Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #73

I always enjoy it when your bizarre and usually off-base constructs LordGlenconner Jun 2014 #126

How many Democrats wanted Obama in 2006? davidn3600 Jun 2014 #6

a good number, he had support groups around the country, you don't see that with JI7 Jun 2014 #8

Importantly, a challenger needs to step forward, now. joshcryer Jun 2014 #9

I'l bet they can't name her positions or votes MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #15

They know more about that then they do about BootinUp Jun 2014 #80

Pretty much this Lee-Lee Jun 2014 #83

You're right. On the other hand, neither can you. MineralMan Jun 2014 #102

I was looking for what set her apart in a positive way. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #112

Were you? Really? MineralMan Jun 2014 #113

What positive(s) in your opinion MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #118

I'm not stumping for Hillary. Nor am I paying any attention MineralMan Jun 2014 #120

So you attck me about x, then when I respond MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #136

There is no attack. MineralMan Jun 2014 #137

No, you weren't. Beacool Jun 2014 #145

A full 20% of the party are temporarily embarrassed Republicans, is this the Huntsman fan club? TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #18

well, to a site that is obviously more liberal than Hillary, it represents a challenge bigtree Jun 2014 #24

The site has little to do with it, it is reality that dictates actual solutions rather than diluting TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #60

you still need a candidate to express that bigtree Jun 2014 #89

Build it and they will come, destroy the viability of the Turd Way at every turn and someone will be TheKentuckian Jun 2014 #220

I'll consider that bigtree Jun 2014 #221

Most people polled don't know what fucking liberal means except by what they get from Ed Suspicious Jun 2014 #29

There WILL be a primary as long as there is someone willing to oppose her. pnwmom Jun 2014 #35

Here is the list nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #38

Then there will be a primary, no matter what Claire says. It seems silly pnwmom Jun 2014 #39

It was about the OP originally, not Claire nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #41

What difference does it make what CM says about this? pnwmom Jun 2014 #43

One rule of supporting a candidate is not alienating potential voters nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #45

The OP isn't "blowing a gasket" over an old story. The poll was just taken a few weeks ago. pnwmom Jun 2014 #52

Yes he is, you see, the story during the day nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #53

it's bad form for you to come on this thread and start a fight over another thread's nonsense bigtree Jun 2014 #56

If you want DU to be useful, you could start pnwmom Jun 2014 #59

just so you can stop this nonsense bigtree Jun 2014 #54

So you can stop this nonesense nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #55

by posting an article about a poll? bigtree Jun 2014 #58

Here is a really basic rule of marketing nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #129

do you worry that your attacks on anyone voicing any approval or defense of Clinton is 'annoying' bigtree Jun 2014 #140

Again, talking negatives is not an attack nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #143

Thank You! Tarheel_Dem Jun 2014 #154

Obviously you don't "get politics" zappaman Jun 2014 #170

that's probably true bigtree Jun 2014 #184

Does this apply to all the "boosterism" of supporters of Elizabeth Warren, pnwmom Jun 2014 #172

Given Elizabeth Warren has repeatedly told us nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #188

But I haven't seen you criticize the supporters of Warren for boosting her candidacy, pnwmom Jun 2014 #191

I have been consistent on that point nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #192

again, you're continuing a fight from another thread bigtree Jun 2014 #193

I am pushing back on your boosterism nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #194

But where is your pushback on the "boosterism" of supporters of other candidates? pnwmom Jun 2014 #197

Three people are doing it nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #199

It's not collective pushback if you only direct it at HRC supporters or posts about her. n/t pnwmom Jun 2014 #202

Give me original material nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #203

there it is again - 'boosterism' bigtree Jun 2014 #205

I am not going to stalk you nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #206

So you admit that they haven't been attacked here. Thanks. n/t moriah Jun 2014 #164

It is difficult to talk negatives nadinbrzezinski Jun 2014 #167

There is always a primary. There are always no-name folks on the ballot. Obama had em in 2012 stevenleser Jun 2014 #147

What kind of a question is that? Ask them if they want to ship more jobs overseas with the TPP, ask grahamhgreen Jun 2014 #42

I have to agree. The tactics being used are what has set me off. I want a Primary, I want candidates Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #78

posting a poll means I want to kill the primary? bigtree Jun 2014 #84

Its just that the poll offers a glimpse of reality and has jolted BootinUp Jun 2014 #86
