A few days before the SC primary, a guy knocked on my door. I guess that Begala would call him "an asshole from Washington, DC." I found him to be a very pleasant Obama supporter. I had been an Edwards supporter since 2004 but was wavering as the primary neared.

We discussed the situation. He didn't knock Edwards in any way. I told him that I was concerned with Obama's lack of administrative/governance experience. He said that he knew many topnotch people with experience in the government in DC who were supporting Obama. He suggested that it was more important to get a President who could see the bigger picture and could select a staff to run the government.

After a brief conversation, he left and I added his comments to my consideration. Eventually, I chose to vote for Obama.

Not every campaign volunteer knocking on doors will be as effective. But, I can tell you, having someone who believes in a candidate enough to drive hundreds of miles and spend time away from home knocking on strangers' door is a strong message by itself.

Begala is no more "unaffiliated" with the Clinton campaign than Chelsea. He just doesn't draw a pay check.

As Bill Richardson said, these Clintonistas exhibit a very obnoxious sense of entitlement.

There is no doubt that the wingnut websites are re-orienting towards smearing Obama. They would be spouting lies and distortions no matter who was leading for the nomination.

The "Hillary-has-been-vetted" line is BS. The negative polls show that the VRWC 20 year, multi-million dollar smear campaign has been successful in terms of turning almost half the potential voters against Clinton. They have more salvos just waiting for a Clinton candidacy.

I'd just as soon have a candidate who forces them to start from scratch in defaming and smearing.

The depressing thing is I don't think we don't have that any more, and we have Hillary Clinton to thank for it.
