The Primary is Only the Wedding
Many of our once and future friends over at hillaryis44 (please note my opitmism) are making a fatal flaw. There seem to be a number of 44ers that are angry about votes that weren't counted. Many are upset about the sexism that Obama supporters have levied towards Hillary, and by extension, them. And they are angry enough about the situation that they are willing to vote for McCain in protest.
What is important now is not the primary - the primary is officially over - but the future of our government. The 44ers are placing more importance on the election than they are on the governing.
It reminds me of people who spend so much time and effort and money worrying about a wedding, that they never take the time to think forward to the marriage.
The wedding is over in a day. The marriage lasts well beyond that. Sometimes the marriage suffers when there is too much attention placed on the wedding.
Please, 44ers, look ahead to the marriage, because the wedding will be over soon.

give them time.
Look what's happened already! I think this is stunning! Actually I think it's amazing.
Rasmussen. Favourability ratings. Only last week Obama's unfavourability was up at 50% (following Pfleger etc)
Now his unfavourability is back down to 42% And, this is bloody wonderful, McCain's is higher - 43%
All through the primaries following the Wright thing erupting, McCain's unfavourability was much lower than Obama's.
Folks, we really are on the move!

It's truly amazing that so many Hillary supporters who purported to respect, admire and validate her are now negating her request? So, they only endorse her judgments when she's still in the running? Hmmm, what's that about.
