I have just decided to support Obama...
after being torn between the three top candidates, I have tonight decided that I will vote for Obama. I am disgusted with the Hillary supporters' nauseating, petty, and win-at-all-costs attitudes on this board and that has pushed me firmly into Obama's camp. I'm pretty fed-up with the bitching and 'gotchas!' on this site.

If Edwards gets out, Obama's smarmy attitude and this board drove me to Hillary

6. I am glad you have decided on a candidate to support...
Even if it is for the dumbest possible reason.

Maybe you should learn something from that. Just a thought.

26. I will be happy if ANY of OUR candidates win the GE...
that doesn't seem to be the consensus on here tho. I don't feel this need to tear down a democratic candidate because he/she isn't the democratic candidate of my choosing. So, the pettiness of the Clinton supporters are not my only reason. I just so happen to like Obama, Edwards, and Clinton... all 3 of them. Gasp! Shocking, isn't it? How can that be? But the past two days we've had thread after thread of Rezko, Obama calling himself a professor, and now this stupid-ass handshake snub. That's enough bullshit to tilt me towards Obama. Dumb or not, I don't care.

But, you guys go ahead and keep on burning everything to the fucking ground.

8. No offense, but perhaps you shouldn't base your voting decision on DU behavior...
I'm an Obama supporter, but geeze. I cannot imagine deciding for or against Hillary based on a threaded discussion board of overhyped, coffee-ridden political junkies tied to their computer looking to make snarky comments.

It just seems like a baaad strategy, ya know?

11. Nothing compared to how the Obama people have treated Edwards supporters.
You should join the grown-ups instead.

12. Hello pot, this is kettle.
Obama supporters are just as bad. But the grass always seems greener on the other side.

19. It's really disgusting.
I have been leaning Edwards a while, but keeping an open mind. There was a time recently that I was starting to rethink Clinton, but the disgusting tactics of her campaign and her supporters have really solidified my non-support of her. If not Edwards, Obama... hopefully both.

22. If you find Hillary disgusting
I think you had your mind made up before reading DU the past hour. Because I didn't see anything Hillary did tonight that was disgusting.

25. It was a factor for me
The way the Clinton supporters on here go STRAIGHT to accusations of sexism no matter what the criticism is.

I always base my votes on anonymous partisans on the internet.
