Does anyone recall when Al Gore lost in the general election and we all thought it was some kind of conspiracy by the right to hand over the Presidency to George Bush--back in 2000?
Does anyone recall how many of us were bemoaning his loss--acting like he SHOULD'VE been President and not ol "Pie in the Sky" Junior Bird Man?
So my question in this: How can Hillary's supporters feel such ANGST because their candidate couldn't measure up to Obama? I mean, didn't *she* have just as a spirited campaign as Barrack did? Didn't she put in her 110% of effort?
So why do they feel like she was somehow "cheated" of her right to be the sole Democratic candidate--if she followed the rules like every one else?
You enter the primaries and run against the other guy. You do whatever you can to make yourself look like the better deal. And if you can't (like Hillary did), you lose.
It's simple as that.
It's not like it's the end of the world here people. Sooner or later, we'll have our own female President--just like we'll be having a black President next year.
But getting all mad about it and voting for Bush's clone apprentice isn't doing you any specials favors.
It's just going to make things worse--not better.
How about swallowing your pride and voting with your conscience--rather than your emotions? Think about what you're doing before you do it.
Think about how your vote will affect the rest of us--instead of just wanting to cast your ballot out of spite or revenge.
Hillary ran a good campaign. She's still a viable candidate. She can still run and be nominated.
But it's time to move on.
