I sigh for America in all it's ignorant glory.
In a nutshell - Yes, I'm a Clinton supporter. No, she shouldn't be vp. Obama will need to earn his reputation as the harbinger of hope if he is to 1) beat McCain in November, 2) win a re-election, and 3) ensure that Democrats have all the momentum necessary to replace him with another in eight years. That's a tall order....but I think the man is certainly intelligent enough to give it a go. He'd better be, or there'll be multitudes of disappointed fanatics four years from now...

You raise an interesting point, despite the fact you were quoting from a tv show (a thoroughly enjoyable one, I might add). Fewer people seem to be willing to listen to what Clinton supporters have to say. I noticed this at my district's caucus a few months ago.
The Obamites were quick to cite his powers of oratory. There needs to be a lot more than charisma and strong diction to make a great leader, yet that was all they were able to come up with. Many of them seemed to be parroting past speeches rather than giving examples of things he's done (and I know he's done many great things, but still heard nothing about them at the caucus).
When the Hillarites spoke up, even though they gave succinct reasons for their support - the fight for universal health care (a very personal matter since I work at a hospital), radical education reforms, etc. - I saw a lot of rolling eyes and knowing smirks from the very same people who, in my mind, failed to say with greater conviction that they knew why they were supporting Obama.
How can people who support the man who clearly wants to unite not just his own party, but all Americans, display such a clear disregard for what his opponents have to say? The very people who must now try to talk the other side into voting blue in November.
I hope, for the sake of all involved, that the horrible attitude (on BOTH sides) does not persist. That the gloating of one half doesn't drive away the other. Because, believe it or not, Clinton supporters DO want change.
And let no one doubt this ex-Hillarite's patriotism - my father served in Korea, my grandfather at Pearl Harbor, and one of my closest high school buddies is in Iraq this very moment. I am very proud to be an American, and it disheartens me greatly to see so many question that just because we have differences of opinion. I fully support your freedom of speech...it's only fair that you should do the same.
Sorry for the lecture, Chig. I don't think you meant it as a personal insult (note the absence of obsenities), and actually chuckled a bit when I read your response. On the same token, I gladly defend my choices to anyone who cares to challenge them.
If it's any consolation, I still find you rather amusing.....oh, stranger with an amazing temper from Minnesota(?).
