Frankly, I’m surprised that what I thought was an innocuous post has generated so much heat. I expressed my admiration for both Clark and Clinton and made no mention of Obama at all. Yet the vast majority of responses have been as if I came in waving a red flag, "abusing" Clark, supporting Obama and vilifying Clinton. I did none of that. My only point was that, in visiting the blog for the first time in a long time, I was struck by how partisan it has become – not that there was overwhelming support for Clinton, but that there was such vitriol directed toward Obama.

I was and remain a strong Wes Clark supporter and fan. Like most, who have frequented this web site, I was disappointed when he decided not to run for political office. I continue to admire his hard work in support of Democratic candidates whose values we all share. But…

I find that what was once a Wes Clark web site has become a Hillary Clinton web site. And I note that the number of users (at this particular moment) number 17 – when they used to number consistently in the 60s, 70s and even 80s.
