How the wiki page resembles district conventions (Score 1)

Just for reference... This was for one of the district conventions for Dallas County. Unlike some of the Hillary supporters, I stayed for the entire convention 8am to 5pm and (regardless of the negative aspects) marveled at the process. In addition to the neutral local officials running for office, we had a couple of representatives for each presidential candidate speak. Those speaking for Hillary were heckled or ignored. Those speaking for Obama were treated with respect and applause. Anyone trying to speak about issues and their support for Hillary were publicly degraded. It was interesting to see the lone Caucasian women senior citizen ridiculed by groups of young Obama supporters. What's more interesting, is that no one stepped up from the Obama camp to make the discussion more civil or to stop the shouting Obama supporters. Disgusted by this behavior, I'd say about 50% of the Hillary representatives left before the end of the convention. The problem isn't that the Hillary candidates are resigned to defeat; they're leaving the party for McCain (or none of the above). The Democrats are losing old yellow dog Democrats that championed civil rights, public assistance, and other progressive ideals. Finally, I'm not saying that there aren't any civil Obama supports. I'd say over 90% of the Obama supporters were respectful and well-informed. However, they're letting the 10% control the discussion.
