2. Thanks, Nance. You put a BIG smile on my face. (so did Hillary and Barack tonite)
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 03:05 AM by BigBearJohn
Even my Republican cousin called me tonite and
said, "Did you see the Democratic debate tonight?
It was GREAT. I actually enjoyed watching it."

I nearly fell off my chair. She's never had a
good thing to say about a Democrat in 20 years.

3. I'm trying, but I'm also trying to be as neutral as possible here.
Both candidates are great, but I think there are a lot of incomprehensible viewpoints here that need responding to.

4. Great idea, BBJ.
The divisiveness here is too much most of the time.

You're idea is better.

6. I tried yesterday for a one day truce.
The post sank through the floor in ten minutes flat.

I attempted to revive it to no avail. Tribal infighting is so much more fun. :sarcasm:

14. I've decided to stay out of stupid arguments
and even the not-so-stupid ones.

From now on, my contribution to candidate posts will be mostly limited to recommending the positive ones.

15. I'm trying, really trying. There were moments of Democratic

unity on the Board right after the debate. :kick:

16. Absolutely!
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 04:20 AM by Window
However, I don't think it will last very long. I think it's really going to heat up now.

But this respite is welcome for however long it lasts.



Peace:thumbsup:

18. Great idea!
But I'm afraid some people are so in the habit of infighting, they won't shift gears until after the primaries. That's a shame, because I like feeling the way I do right now.

20. Great Idea...
because when it's all said and done the ticket will be Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton. Now I understand what John Edwards was talking about when he said it will be an historic election for the Democratic Party.:toast:
