I have been waiting for this. So I am sure Obama's people have been as well.
I am a boomer for Obama, there are a lot of us who have been reactivated by this election. And we bring a knowledge of and comfort with broad coalition building to the table. Quakers,MLK and the Weather Underground worked on ending the Viet Nam war. And I am fairly certain the only thing all agreed on was an end to the war.
PS some of the middle-aged middle-american working-class white guys you are afraid won't vote for BHO understand that working people get played off of each other all the time. While corporations laugh all the way to the bank. Don't sell old white guys short.

That's pretty remarkable. So you would consider, as part of "coalition building", working with domestic terrorists that kill innocent people in order to have their way?
I know this is inflammatory but I just have to say: there is, at times, something very disturbing about many Obama supporters to me. There seems to be the deeply committed belief in Him over all else, including, apparently, the lives of fellow Americans?
I don't know what to say.
No Bob I would kill or die over the 2008 Democratic primary.I am a pacifist so there is no ideology I would kill for,while there are things I would consider dying for. And if you know people that would consider killing over this hurry up and call the cops the FBI or the Secret Service,because that is crazy and dangerous.
The point I was making, ineffectively clearly, is that on occasion people make single issue coalitions inorder to facilitate change.
P.S.I will fact check later but I think the only people the Weather Underground actually killed were other members of the Weather Underground.I have come to see this isn't for nuanced discussion but I am always interested in doing so
