1. I did not support either Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama in the Oklahoma Democratic primary.

2. It saddens me that TalkLeft, a brilliant site about the nexus of politics and bad criminal laws, has gone off the deep end for Sen. Clinton, with Jeralyn and Armando releasing dozens of anti-Obama posts each week. I agree that Sen. Clinton has every right to continue her campaign as long as she wishes, but she's still attacking Obama and echoing Republican frames that could hurt Obama in the very real (at least 50%) chance he is the party's nominee, and TalkLeft is apparently all for this.

   We kind of expect this from Armando, who has carefully cultivated a reputation at multiple blogs of being "David Brooks without the charm." For many years, you could bet money that if someone posted a reasoned critique of Armando's pontifications, complete with direct quotes from Armando and precise rebuttals, he would nonetheless respond with words to the effect of "Go read what I wrote, stupid," ignoring that obviously the commenter had read what he wrote because he quoted it and disassembled it rather precisely. He's gotten better, somewhat. But this kind of party-destruction is really disappointing from Jeralyn.

3. It saddens me that AMERICAblog, a great site about pursuing progressive aims of equality and justice, has gone off the deep end against Sen. Clinton, with Joe and John releasing dozens of anti-Hillary posts each week. I agree that anyone is free to call on Sen. Clinton to end her campaign, but they're resurrecting ten- and fifteen-year-old GOP attacks on both Clintons (Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky) because they're not getting their way. AMERICAblog is, apparently, now all for echoing Republican frames, and this kind of party-destruction is really disappointing from those guys.

I agree with Brad at Sadly, No! (and, like him, I mean it for people who've gone off either side of the deep end):

I can't wait for this primary to be over just so a lot of people I like can become sane again.
