To be fair, (and I'm an Obama supporter), there's been some pretty nasty snark from extremely hyped Obama supporters against Clinton supporters (that' they are dumb and lack a level headed view on who can win, and worse). I was amazed at the level of...almost fanaticism some Obama supporters behaved with.

While I like the man...he really has become a rockstar candidate to a great many people, and sometimes I just want to say "Down boy, Down" to them, because it borders on adoration, which is not what politics should be about.

Clinton's health care plan, though, was still stronger I think.

agreed. but again, i think this is something that cuts both ways, with the hard core hillary clinton supporters calling obama supporters "obamabots" and so forth.

And her health care plan is better. I think he should put her in charge of health care policy in his administration. She's as good as anybody gets on that score.

Absolutely, and that's my point. It goes both ways, and yet we've heard more about the qualities (or lack of) Clinton supporters during the campaigns.

The best thing Democrats can do now is to chill with the snark, and to leave Clinton supporters alone to think.

NOT to go comment in this femchick's blog and spread more snark, like that preacher dude up there on yr f-list did.

That right there, is where dems will shoot themselves in the foot.

Take it from a foreigner who's voted and chosen party many times in life.

Frankly, I think that voting for someone based on their gender is anti-feminist (and possibly even anti-American). But that's just me, the foreigner.
