Reply #65: Once again, insulting Obama supporters by saying the "media" chose him. [View All]

No, Ozark. We chose him. He got more votes, he got more pledged delegates, and very very soon, will have earned the support of enough superdelegates to make him our nominee.

I wanted John Edwards to be our nominee in 2004, but when John Kerry won (I couldn't stand him at the time, by the way), we united around him because our eyes were on the prize. We came up just barely short of beating a popular war time president, and look what those four years have wrought since. There has never been a more important time for Democrats to show unity, and if you can't stomach that, then I'll respectfully ask you to step aside. But no way are people like me going to let Clinton and her minions step in and destroy our Convention simply because she can't handle losing. She's acting like a damned petulant child at this point.

After the rest of the states have voted, I expect Senator Clinton to step aside and help unite this party. I don't actually believe she'll continue on this suicide mission. You're far more cynical about this than I am. And its time you turned your anger on Clinton's advisors for blowing this thing back in February, rather than turning on your fellow Democrats who chose a different candidate. THERE ARE NO CORONATIONS.

The point is, in every election, someone has to lose, and Senator Clinton has lost her battle for the Democratic nomination. This thing is over. You're disconnected from reality, and worse, you're thisclose to becoming a very sore loser.
