are you concerned about primary (campaign tactics)

[frankenforpres]

i remember on DU last primary, things got pretty heated. and last time, no one had the star power that obama, and clinton have. edwards is even more of a big shot now than the last time. if gore, and wes clark get in this thing, it will be the most loaded field i have ever seen. that is s lot of pols that are used to having things go there way (biden has also announced that he is running, i dont know if formal yet).

my biggest concern is that it gets uglier on the D side, than with the Rs, sort of like what happened in the California governors race, that could be bad for us.

i have high hopes about the primary season, but i think i am going to focus more on end game, i dont love clinton as a candidate, but i could deal with it if she wins. i really think gore is the most qualified and serious, but i dont know if he'll run. obama has some nice qualities, and i like him.


i just keep wondering what is going to happen when this starts rolling. this is like the west wing on steroids.

2. I think they will try at first to refrain but, it'll get dirty

5. Just saw an item today

that Obama went to a Muslim school overseas for two years. Don't know if that will be a factor in the primaries, but if he is the nominee or the VP nominee, you can bet the repukelicans will make a big deal of it.

6. I already seriously wonder if DU has become a terrarist haven for GOP operatives

So many newbies with no stars, and sign up dates of last year. Seems like they are gearing up to troll DU to capture their opposition research. And so many posters. oldies and newbies are stupid enough to hand these ops their shit dish d'jour on a silver platter. The infighting and insults are just downright vicious.

2004 season was very ugly. I won't participate in that again, I will vote for who ever gets the nomination because my hope is the rearranging of the primaries will give us a much more fair path to the convention.

Remember our main objective is to remove the CONS from the executive branch. Yours or my candidate of choice may not win, but it is pointless to trash our primary candidates.
