Why pro-Clinton diarists post here

Sat Feb 02, 2008 at 12:14:30 PM PDT

This is an Obama house.  I state that not as good or bad, just as a statement of how things appear.  The blog titles, the recommended sideboard are filled with pro-Obama candidate diaries sprinkled with the occasional conspiracy or pro-Clinton diaries.  Most of these are written by first time bloggers...er...trolls.  These rapidly fall off the recent diary list and are forgotten with only a new pootie picture or recipe to recommend their reading.  Snark only gains traction if it is anti-Clinton, no matter how witty it is.

So, unless and until Clinton wins the primary (and I am voting for the house candidate, Obama), why do you keep posting?  If this sounds harsh or non-inclusive, I have failed in asking my question.

I do not presume to tell anyone to change their posting habits.  I am curious as to the whys.

I am also curious about Obama posters.

I understand the new information about polls and events type bloggers.  We all want to keep up with our candidate's poll numbers and/or get someone's personal take on how an event came off, the number of people who showed up to play, etc.  I only wonder about the candidate love letters.  

Comments on why you blog here either for or against either candidate interests me.
