That every day rants against Hillary lacking any original content spend hours on the rec list, and an informative diary like this gets mostly ignored.
Obama supporters, this is how it's done. Useful, substantive analysis makes a much stronger case for your candidate than whiny, self-indulgent rants.

against Senator Clinton, it will be the end of my Democratic Party come November. Thanks all.
For the record, I have never stated that I am pro-Senator Clinton.

Every Democrat in the nation is reading these, and its going to tear the party apart. I got news...we aren't that influential. If the party is torn up, you'll have to look higher on the food chain to assess blame.

you are influential?

But someone, thoughtfully, put it on the front page.
This is the kind of analysis and reality-based thinking that attracted me to Kos in the first place.
I'm hopeful that when the outcome of the primary season is finally determined, we will be able to put this squabbling behind us.

yesterday the Obama supporters were all caught up in the repetitive rec-listed diaries about Ferraro, not to mention the half-dozen front-page threads about Ferraro.
They couldn't even recognize a very strong diary in support of their own candidate, because they were too busy reccing each other's declarations that "Hillary is dead to me."

You aren't exactly contributing to the discussion.

to bring this diary to the attention of other Obama supporters.
I asked silver spring to cross-post at Bleeding Heartland and promoted it to the front page.
I also linked to it in my comments in various threads, like the Olbermann diaries last night.
So I think I have contributed to the discussion.

but I don't think the tone and volume of diaries and comments here are helpful.
I think I missed it the first time because of the shear volume of diaries and comments. When I read something that's not on the 'recommended' list, by the time I've logged back to the front page 10 new diaries have appeared and 10 old ones have cycled off. It's hard to keep up with them and hold down a job at the same time.
