The Verdict on Obama's Campaign



One of the silver linings of the heartbreaking Democratic Primary of 2008, is that we now have a very large number of folks (millions of Hillary supporters!) who seriously doubt every blessed thing we hear from the media.

Despite the best efforts of the media to portray Hillary as an Evil Woman and Obama as a Pure, New Politics, Unity Candidate, those of us who have closely followed the Democratic primary know this:

Vastleft:

* Obama’s campaign was far more divisive than Hillary’s
* Obama’s campaign was far dirtier than Hillary’s
* Obama’s campaign was far more dishonest than Hillary’s
* Obama’s campaign was far less progressive than Hillary’s
* Obama’s campaign was far more leveraged on party insiders than Hillary’s
* Obama’s supporters drank far more Kool-Aid than Hillary’s
* Obama’s supporters drove Hillary supporters from virtually every blog, and not the other way around
