Why do Obama supporters seem determined to drive Hillary
by differnetEllen

voters out of the Democratic party and into McCain's camp? I'm at loss. Either you all really stink at negotiating skills or you have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement that gives you the illusion of a right to tell people what they have to do or else. Most people would rather risk an adverse reaction rather than submit to the will of a complete stranger.

When negotiating the thing you never want to do is a) threaten someone, b) tell someone that they are dumb, wrong, evil, selfish, etc and b) tell them how right you are. So, continue driving Clinton voters away. But you guys can't do nearly the damage as so many of the Obama surrogate pundits are doing in the press today. I'm absolutely horrified at the things I've read today. It's like the pundits/columnists want to ensure a McCain victory.

By the way, the way you negotiate is to a) compliment and b) find common ground and then c) ask about the stumbling blocks and objections and then finally d) working carefully without offending the customer to overcome those stumbing blocks and objections.
