it seems like almost everyone in the republic is for Hillary!
Guess what. Kossacks continue to be very rude. I am for Obama, but I'm not a Kossack.

someone who writes a diary like that will have his account evaporate in 10 minutes flat.

You were here the last time. Was this kind of thing carried on into the general and daries posted against our nominee? There seems to be so many idiots like the diarist tonight with supporters who will circle the wagons. What happens then?

the "I hate John Kerry" people evaporated, and troll ratings were showered on anyone who said anything bad about him. We will have a few bad days, and then people will adjust. It will be very dramatic.

more months until we reach that date. I may evaporate before then, myself. I just wonder if there has been a candidate before that mirrors the hate diaries of Clinton's. I guess with Dean in the last time, and this blog being obsessed with him, the other candidates must have withstood some attacks, but I doubt if it was like it is against Clinton. Or maybe so--

I mean, the apparent nominee. Once Kerry had won a few primaries, the transformation took place. We're talking February, not August.

have to go through all this only to not have a chance for our vote to count in our primary in April. That always aggravates the heck out of me that it is all over before half the country gets to vote. Oh well, what can you do.
Thanks for the picture of what's to come.

I doubt seriously there'll be much campaigning to be done here by the 12th - but we've still gotta lay the ground work, just in case.
Besides, the precinct work is always good - people down ticket will benefit from updated voter lists.

Though not on Kos. But I was a very loyal Democrat and I changed my tune on John Kerry very quickly.

..get on board, and conveniently forget that you were trashing the nominee non-stop for the last six months, or wait another five years for any hope of having "your person" in the white house.
the nominee will have more friends than s/he ever knew s/he had. and who are we to question the sincerity of all those loyal democrats ? :)

This is a hothouse environment here, and in primary season enthusiastic supporters of rival candidates are thrown together. We get pissed off sometimes at some bullshit by Edwards or Obama, even though it's routine campaign bullshit - I'm sure we'd be more pissed, if our girl were mired 15-20 points back, with no sign of traction.
So the "conversions" will be the natural shift from primary mode to general-election mode - it didn't take me long to go from scoffing (just before Iowa) about the dirt going over Kerry's grave to lining up behind him.
As for the handful of people who do nothing but foam at the mouth over Hillary, they'll likely just disappear.

Seriously - I hate to think of this possiblity but what if the nominee isn't Hillary? ANything we say to trach obama or edwards now will likely be used against us by the goopers (and don't doubt for a moment they're trolling through the diaries & comments here).
The skeptics are only doing the goopers work for them come the general - right here - right now. And it pisses me off beyond belief!

There were always nay-sayers about, but they were shot down very quickly. The front pagers (Markos and Co.) start kicking heads a bit more when the nominee is appointed. Now they are letting the primaries play out and staying focused on the larger picture for the most part and trying to focus all the candidates on the bigger picture as well, which is great IMHO.
There was a lot of critiquing of Kerry (positive and negative) but for the most part constructive. I suspect that will be the same for Hillary especially if she holds her own in the debates and campaign trail as we all know she will more than do. Silly diaries by overt Hillary haters will definitely get blasted off the map after the nomination.
Even now overtly anti-Hillary diaries are not getting too many recs, and usually when a negative diary gets up, they are more and more toned down and only ever make the rec list when authored by a long-term, well-known Kossack. But even those are waning a bit.
