Reply #100: Thanks for saying what needed to be said.

I'm sure a lot of people have thought those thoughts, but feared putting those thoughts into words.

It looks very ugly in print.

That being said, I feel really proud of the way Sen. Obama has conducted himself. It would have been so easy to just lie down and romp in the mud too, since it was getting slung his way from all directions. But he didn't. He's putting his faith in the people. That's confidence and that's a belief that essentially, most Americans are honest, fair-minded people.

This whole thing has been a net plus for his campaign, IMO. Clinton really didn't net more than 5 pledged delegates. Think about what this whole saga has accomplished? The Canadian government has been exposed as meddlers in our election and in collusion with Republican interests. That's good to know.

But more importantly, the growing restlessness of the elected superdelegates has turned into a groundswell of indignation and disgust with Clinton and the way she has conducted her campaign. I don't think a significant number of the undecided superdelegates will support her after this. Watching all of this unfold, I thought about that poor Democratic former governor of Alabama. How Rove decided to go after him and when the charges didn't stick, really set his sights on destroying the man because... he had the audacity to run for election again!

This isn't so much about winning as it is about utterly destroying someone.

I, for one, am hoping that the remaining primary voters repudiate this insidious brand of politics.

I am also hoping that Clinton will be held accountable by her peers and constituents for the way she has conducted herself in this campaign.
