The Colorado Independent: Grassroots Democrats Worry about Split in Party

    So what were the Garfield results? Did Senator Obama or Clinton win?

    Donald J. Kaufman, Attorney at Law In a rural county addicted to natural gas extraction, with the mammoth mast of a gas drilling derrick  pointing toward the county assembly in Rifle, Colorado,  the Garfield County Democratic Party met in the new cinderblock "EnCana Academic Center" to nominate candidates and debate the issues of the day. 

    If Obama can win north of Aspen, west of Vail, he can win anywhere.

    The Obama/Clinton contest is kind of..... ......like watching at train wreck.  It's horrible, and you know it, but you can't really take your eyes away from it.  The Clintons are really intent on getting back to the White House, and they're willing to destroy anyone and anything that the perceive as getting in their way.

    while your contest was just hilarious to watch.  I wish it could have gone on because it was a great alternative to the comedy of The Colbert Report which its writers were on strike.

    Just out of curiosity.... ....is there anything that you don't see through a completely partisan lens?

    I'd ask you the same question. n/t

    There is already a split The party is already split.  The demographics for each candidate are very established now.  It appears that Barack has hijacked our party.  He has the "independent " vote and ringer republicans but no traditional democrats with the exception of blacks.  And that's an identity vote.  He won't hold up in the general.  Thanks Barack for being such a divisive figure.

    Nice attempt at a spin move.... ....but if you'd bother to READ what I actually say, instead of just throwing darts at what you THINK I've said, you'd know the answer.


    Interesting, though, that you felt you had to dodge that question.  Very revealing.

    And, by the way.... ....there was nothing particularly partisan in my "train wreck" comment, unless you happen to think that the Clintons and the Democrat Party are one and the same.  Which you may very well believe, so far as I can tell........

    Grassroots Dems The party is only split if we allow it to be. I am an Obama supporter pledged to support Hillary if she is the nominee. All this "kitchen sink" slinging, etc., may be pretty stupid and repulsive, but we have two stong capable candidates, either of whigh would be far preferrable to four more years of a quasi-Bush presidency. Think also of electing more Dems to the Congress and what kind of Supreme Court and other courts we could be looking at in four years unless we get it together! I've been writing both candidates demanding that they be civil and discuss the issues. Please, all grass-rooters, do the same. If there is any sink or anything else to be slung, let's concentrate on John Flip-Flop McCain, who really would do anything to be elected, including lick the hand of a man who tried to flush him down the toilet a while back!

    We dont support win at any cost! Black people wont support the shady, race baiting Clintons. So we'll stay home and watch crazy Mcain win by default. Good luck America.

    hmmm Clinton hatred and "Democrat" party?  There's no partisanship there at all, nope, none.
  • johne · 1 year ago
    huh? So how do explain the huge margins Obama won by in states like Idaho and Colorado?  My precinct caucus wasn't exactly diverse  except for age diversity.

    African American's If Obama wins the popular vote, the delegate count and more states regardless of their size. However Clinton becomes the nominee the DNC will lose the black vote.

    LOL A caucus is not representative of the voting public.  Look at Texas, Hillary wins the official primary (more people are enabled to vote in primaries) and Barack wins the caucus.  I'll take an official primary vote any day over a caucus to garner accurate voting trends. 
  • J.D. · 1 year ago
    Good enough I'll take McCain any day over Barack.  Barack intends to disarm the USA.  Go to youtube and type in 52 Obama.  This guy is ridiculous.
