Has anyone noticed that the media hardly mentions that Obama's supporters are greater in number and as equally passionate as the Clinton supporters?

All I would say to warn anyone who's willing to instantly forgive is: let's see what they do over the next few weeks. Their footsoldiers have infested CNN and Fox News and are spreading the ridiculousness. Just this week Rendell, Wolfson, and McAuliffe have attacked MSNBC for their biased coverage in favor of Obama and this is the week when the party is supposed to be united. Remember Fox News has always trashed the Clintons but now they are her greatest allies. Curious but transparent.<br> On a happy note, John Kerry gave an impassioned speech and tore McCain a new one (which the Clintons did not do.) Of the three speeches, I thought his speech was the most hard hitting and the most heartfelt.
