Yes, you can take the “play nice” strategery too far, but that’s not the Clinton doctrine. He campaigns by political karate – let the other guy throw the first punch, and when he does, you take him down hard.

Ok, listen, I swear to Koresh I’m not trying to be difficult. I, too, think it’s wrong for Dems to attack each other. (I live in CA and got to see the effects of that “strategery” close-up in the last gubernatorial election.) That was never the intent of my message and I don’t believe I’ve leveled any attacks at her.

I understand she’s the front-runner. How could she NOT be? She’s the main focus of regular coverage in the MSM and the others mostly get mentioned when they say something outrageous or attacking…or they don’t get mentioned at all…

I actually believe you summed up my issue best with the question, “I think HRC is their only lose-for-sure, so why would the MSM push her?”

Yes, why would the MSM push her? Perhaps they’re less concerned with what YOU think and more interested in what THEY think they can do to her in the general election…

In taking your response as a whole, it seems to me you’re suggesting Kos rigs his polls but Gallup plays it straight up. The nexus of these two ideas seems to be that the Kos poll doesn’t support the candidate you like and Gallup does…

Ok, just to sort-of “clean up”…

That’s a rhetorical fallacy and I presume you know it. Just because the American MSM is corrupt, dishonest, and partisan today doesn’t mean they’ve always been so…

Finally, yes, you should hire me. I think clearly, write well, know HTML, and could use the income. (But I wouldn’t pass a pee test…)

Regretfully the play nice in the primary strategy has gotten us nowhere in the last two elections. I’d rather we air our dirty laundry but make damn sure we unite after the convention. After all it doesn’t really matter what we call each other, the Grand Old Perverts party will be thinking of that and a bunch of new lies whomever gets the nod.

Everything that one Democrat slams another with during the primaries, the GOP will use against the eventuall winner of those primaries in the general election. They have done it before, they will do it again, over and over ad nauseum until we learn to not give them any ammunition in the first place.

I thought it was classic – and classy – when during the Jon Stewart interview, Big Dog didn’t say one bad thing about anybody. Once again, he’s showing us how to win this thing – are we going to pay attention this time?
