A bunch of people here are prematurely overinvested in one or the other candidate. The primary campaign season began a few months early this time around- the Dean people kicked off way early- and you're seeing some of what happens when there aren't finicky voters out there keeping the arguments honest: the energy gets turned on each other and the noise drowns out the signal.

You can also see that Dean-Kerry and Dean-Clark arguments are vicious but Kerry-Clark arguments are quiet or nonexistent.

I figure around Xmas things will quiet down a great deal. I don't understand why the arguing continues around here anyway- I doubt any side is going to make a significant number of converts until candidates begin to drop out, which apparently won't be until early in the new year.
