Let it go.

It has been a long and bitter campaign, and it may continue until June. All of us can recall many events which have made our blood boil. We know from the math, though, that the campaign is all but over. Clinton will probably need well over 80% of the remaining undeclared non-add-on super delegates to get the nomination and she'd be lucky to get 20%.
So why is so much of our energy directed against Hillary Clinton? There's nothing she can do to get the nomination - only a spectacular scandal or very unlucky meteor strike will keep Obama from being our nominee. We don't like some of the things Clinton and her campaign say about the Democratic standard-bearer, but we need to put things in perspective.
She doesn't have the power. You do.
So let her attack. Obama's rapid response team will take care of it. All of us at DailyKos can just take it on the chin without throwing a punch back. It's up to us to set the tone and welcome Clinton supporters back to DailyKos. If we think the campaign is over, we should act like good winners. So I ask the community here - when the Clinton campaign makes you seethe, take a couple of deep breaths and let it go. Then we can all focus our energy to defeating John McCain.
