As I said in my previous blog post, I would have voted for Joe Biden in the primary had he still been in the race when they got around to my lovely state. However, I voted for Hillary instead... not that I didn't like Obama, but I was in the "we'll get Bill, too" camp, and damn but wouldn't we rather be back in 1999 than where we are now?
I was all for Hillary staying in the race as long as she had a reasonable chance of winning. Then that chance got slimmer... and slimmer... and pretty soon it's looking like a New York supermodel. And Hillary's still there. Still there through Hawaii. Still there through Puerto Rico. Still there till the bitter end. Long past the point where she has any money to run a campaign on. Long past the point where Obama had it pretty much wrapped up. I still can't figure out if she was just in denial, or she really thought Obama would be such a horrible candidate. I guess only she really knows what was in her head. But did she really think she could raise $30 mil after she had lost the race? Really??
But what kind of consideration for the VP post did she reasonably think she would have when she just refused to get the heck out already??
I can kind of understand Hillary still being upset about losing, after all, for months everyone thought she was a shoo-in (hey, I'm still mourning for what could have been in a Howard Dean administration). But I don't get why so many female Hillary supporters are still upset, or are going to vote for McCain (any self-respecting woman should NOT be voting for McCain, but that's for another post). Obama won fair and square. No Karl Rove-ian tactics. No dangling chads. He won. Period. Put yer big girl panties on and suck it up. Enough people voted for him to put him over the top, which as I recall is the way democracy works. Deal with it already.
