That's why I don't mind the comments from those threateneing to cross over and vote for John Mccain.
The youth are the future, not the same old farts.
There will be those that will leave the party and jump ship. However if they are that fickle, the possibility that they were inbedded republican trolls has to be a factor.
I and many Party Blogger Brothers here are what disrespectfull wet behind the ears whipper snappers would term tired out old farts. But we have come as far as we have because we have been what holds the party together. The tired out old farts as some say are in reality the oak tree that gives the umbrella and comfort to the new seedlings that are sprouting by protecting them from the elements. You are totally wrong.
With all due respect I say that you need to enlighten yoiurself on the reality. Do not lump all of my fellow peers and myself in the manner in which you do. I do not call you a wet behind the ears young whipper snapper, I use the term merely for the purpose of comparison.

Obama is of the generation just before this one. He is polite and respectful, because he was taught by his Grandparents. He has the same kind of trouble younger people have all the time, though, when he uses propaganda that can derail his own programs. Their programs are very similar, and likely will be the SAME program when September rolls around.
I look at this from a perspective of unity, and I cringe.
Hillary is of my generation. She is a mother, a lawyer, a feminist who proved her mettle. She understands when someone told her it couldn't be done because she was a woman, she did it. She goes after something and she is called all the things that, if a man did them, would be called by a different name. I forgive her, but I cringe.
Do I want the extra 13 years of life in my president? Yeah, probably. I don't want the programs on the Democratic Agenda derailed in youthful exuberance by the attempts to make it to August. But... I want Obama, too. I want him for all the reasons in that article. His background, his experiences, his ability to overcome the odds and run for president.
I'll take whatever I get in August. They're both talented and able people. But, I really do want them both.
The important job is still on our heads, though. We need to send our delegates to the national convention with enough working answers for all our candidates to run on. The promise of the future is sure, because the needs of the people will be met. Not by promises of action, but by actions that have been hammered out by you and me.
