Well, it’s not the result I wanted. But I’ll take the two silver linings that (1) at least this means the dems have a really good shot at the white house this year and (2) that the surge in younger voters means we have a good shot at defeating the marriage amendment in CA.

[/QUOTE]  
Has there ever been a primary seaon that’s ended in quite this way?

I’ve been so excited about this current election for seveal reasons:

1. The Iraq war, state of the economy and importance of re-shaping SCOTUS makes change drastically important;

2. Of the Democratic candidates, there were actually several very good prospects;

3. The two finalists are highly qualified (though Hillary’s campaigning left something to be desired);

4. It’s historic: a white female and a black man have or had a real chance at CiC;

5. Even with the DNC mess, the long and winding road has caused me to pay more attention, form my own opinions and put my passion and money where my mouth; and

6. It’s come to an at-the-wire, ending , it’s hardly a photo finish.

I tired but also wired.

He can take his time. No need to pick anyone until right before August. Meanwhile, he also now loses nothing by making her vet her husband’s finances in an innocent, non-party destroying manner. By mid July, most of the air will be out of her. Especially if she’s out there supporting him.

But as folks talked about, as soon as I feel some sympathy, she does something to counter it. This VP signal has done it again. She sucks.
