But it seems to be very important to some to "punish" DWS because (fill in the blank).

I'm no fan of DWS for many reasons. But after seeing the crap posted by so many on DU about her during the primary season, I found myself rooting for her. I believe that she did the right thing in resigning because the same people who hated her during the primary will continue to hate on her no matter what she does. At least now, she should not distract from the Convention itself.

But in my own little rebellion against tactics that I have found abhorrent principally because the same vitriol has been directed at Hillary herself, I have contributed to DWS's campaign. And any crap I get on DU in response to my posts about that will cause me to contribute more.

I thank DWS for resigning because SHE does see the Big Picture in this election. Some still don't. But MANY MANY more do. They have their priorities in the right places and that is why we will win in November.
