1. I admit it, I've been an ass at times.
Sometimes I try to be nice to everyone and ignore idiots and flamebait, but sometimes that's just too much effort :) .

I'm not an Obama supporter saying he'll win.

I'm a DU'er who has read enough of your posts to feel that if you believe you are "fair" then you are delusional.

I only came to Hillary after my other candidates were eliminated. I have been as fair as possible in my critiques and praise.

But then my candidate dropped a while back and I don't support either of the remaining two, so I've been able to stay out of it.

59. In the truest sense of the word meaning a firm adherent to a faction.
I'm rooting for my guy. I've made an occasional "Hail Mary" pass at being magnanimous toward the other candidate, but the for the most part, I've been on the side of one particular candidate.

31. I've tried to be cool
... and I think looking at my posts over the past few months would show that (well, that and a plenitude of Lounge shit).

I have tried not to post when I was angry; possibly as a consequence, I haven't posted a lot. I've tried to remember that there are many fine Democrats on this board who happen to support someone other than my candidate, and that I shouldn't scorn them for it.

because I joined DU a couple of days ago. But in my regular life, I'm always cheering for Obama, and fortunately I seem to be around people who support Obama also.

47. I think I can honestly say Calm.
After the traumatic emotional roller-coaster that was 2004, I promised myself I just wouldn't get that worked up again. I'm still fond of the candidate(s) I support, and I've had some minor highs and lows, but overall I've stayed pretty calm. Not like getting all bent out of shape will change anything, in any case, or as I keep having to remind myself, you can't purchase what you want with suffering.

Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 07:51 PM by Blue_In_AK
Since my candidate John Edwards has been out, I've felt the need to come to Hillary's defense because the attacks against her have been so virulent. I've been kind of surprised at myself because I've always been an "anybody but Hillary" person -- but Obama's supporters have turned me off.

ed. Obligatory disclaimer -- "SOME" of Obama's supporters.

from the bashing threads at this forum. I know who I am rooting for. I am hopeful he will pick up the nomination. If he does not, I will vote for Hillary in the general election. Either way, we all have to unite and make Mc Cain look like the has been he is come November. That, after all, is the main goal.
