Other myths to be added?

Maybe it would be easier to list the myths that have foundation in reality?

There is a huge post-primary riff in the Democratic Party.

It sounds a lot like Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean".

Reading some of the commentary around here it can be hard to remember sometimes, but the Democratic party is pretty unified right now.

I kind of feel like two forces are at work, on one hand we still have the "anybody but bush" type energy at work.  Nearly the whole country is with us on that now, Bush was a complete irredeemable disaster and McCain is more of the same.

...but with Obama (or with Clinton if we had her) we have more than that.  We have a positive force that we can get behind.  We are fighting for something instead of just fighting against something.  That counts for a lot.

(And yeah, I was a strong supporter of Kerry way beyond ABB levels but he just did not get that same energy going)

How is Obama doing with the "holding on sweeties"?

Thanks Josh!!

I hear he has a VERY Big  problem with "FIST BUMPERS"

Nice one!

Thanks for confirming and publishing reality on this site, some diaries and comments would have us believe otherwise, though I must say, those have gone down in volume considerably, likely because they are baseless and aren't finding traction with the reasonable people on this site.

What about Obama's problem with blood-thirsty neocons. Are we just supposed to ignore that? Where is the CONCERN?! Wake up, people!!

I would like to welcome MyDD back to the reality-based community once again. Good work.

Josh, you could not have been a Hillary supporter. There is a movement out there and it is not dying off. I wish to hell it would. I also think if Ob ama does not  attend to it personally, it could spell difficulty--particularly in Fla.

And obama will win in November!

Love the riffage.  I'm actually reminded of Sabbath's "Supernaut," given recent polling data.

Oh, and regarding Jews, this may be of some anecdotal interest:

"Jews Are Obama's Base, Not His Problem."

But if you think the party is united you are in dreamland.

Let's wait until Obama makes it official that Hillary has been kicked to the curb before we assume that all is well in the Democratic party.

The electoral map is hardly a slam-dunk for Obama. The latest poll out today shows him losing FL and OH. I can't see him picking up any southern state unless he puts Hillary on the ticket then he wins Arkansas. Without her he won't pick up one in the south.

The Republicans (or 527's) will be airing ads showing race-bating in the Dem primary in an attempt to win McCain some Hillary supporters.

The oil drilling issue is hurting Obama bigtime. They now favor it in FL. That is a huge surprize.

Obama could win the popular vote by 3-4 points and still lose the election.

With the Rockefeller/Hoyer crowd shouting "capitulation," Obama will have trouble with civil libertarians if he doesn't reiterate his opposition to telco amnesty and use whatever influence to stop this travesty from going through.

"It is advised that all citizens print these materials and keep them on their person at all times in case of any unexpected hostile interactions with cable news pundits..."

Or, Jerome.

Very useful list.

There is a growing underground movement against the DNC and their choice, Barack Obama.  The polls are oversampling certain groups and the MSM is still pushing their own choice for President.

This is more dissent out there than many of the pro-Obama blogs (like this one and Daily Kos) are willing to admit.

But why take away folks' "dreams"... the reality will come clear soon enough.

This Obama supporter has unlimited admiration for
Clinton supporters such as Linfar, Canadian Gal and several others, who accepted the reality of Obama's nomination and became Obama supporters without ceasing to be Hillary supporters.

I am convinced that they represent the huge majority of Clinton supporters.

I think we should avoid referring to PUMAs and suchlike wild cats as Clinton supporters, or even "supporters", as they no longer care about what Hillary Clinton's candidacy was about, nor what she is about. Associating Hillary Clinton's name with these groups is an insult to her. Linfar's recent diary 'Dishonoring Hillary' made me realize that these guys are dishonoring nobody but themselves.

...very small "rift".

Keep dreamin' the impossible dream pal.

Reality is gonna be a bummer for ya.

But I do think that this is the place to make the arguments he needs to help attract some of the voters he has trouble with.  Not to pretend that this is going to be the smoothest election since the beginning of time.

It's not all Obama's fault but some of it is. He did stop the revote effort despite private funding being obtained,He maintained his lead because of super delegates. Yes, Obama had an extremely unimpressive second half. He prooved that he couldn't close the deal.

Actually, I think We're all Democrats.......I haven't had a single discussion on this issue from anyone .....I'd be pleasantly suport  the man who is really democratics.

Let's wait until Obama makes it official.
