The reason Clinton supporters are angry with the obama camp is because he has won caucuses that are full of radical psyhcs that elected kerry. this wing of the deomcratic party that refuses put one cent into florida for the past 8 years ensuring that it becomes another texas.

why do these nutters have so much power in the party.

OBAMA CANT JUST CANT CARRY A BIG STATE. HE WILL GET CRUSHED IN THE GENERAL.

hillary can win arkansas. ohio. west virginia. nevada. new mexico. she has pennslvania, michigan in the bag. she can win

obama cant. these are the people who thought kerry could win.

Given the environment, I doubt either Clinton or Obama as the Democratic nominee would get crushed in the general. Independents will be decisive and just who have those tended to favor? Clinton or Obama?

And while I'm on. You seem to be under some illusion that it's liberal activists who have catapulted Obama to where he is at. Wrong. There's no great ideological chasm between Clinton and Obama supporters. It's not like he has swept the liberal primary vote, with her dominating among moderate and conservative primary voters

Obama has won the caucus states because he has worked them; Clinton didn't because she got complacent and expected to have the nomination signed, sealed and delivered by Super Tuesday. It just hasn't worked out like that

The challenge facing the Democratic nominee whether Obama or Clinton is to unite their respective demographics moving through to the general. Yes, it's along demographic lines that the Democratic primary as split not ideological
