Afterthoughts
You know, it just hit me earlier today in the car, something I had written and said several times up to the point we are today in the presidential primary.
And it strikes me funny that more people didn't think this way.
I'm not particularly keen on Clinton, like many people here, but in the end, like a smart democrat, I would vote for her and campaign against McCain. To elaborate, I am not sure how much I could campaign for Hillary, but all my energy would be spent making sure she got elected. There's the other side of the fence: anti-McCain.
Why didn't more people think of that rather than all this self-defeating "If O/C doesn't get the nomination instead of C/O, I'm going to vote for McCain" nonsense?

Listening to McCain today has made me very aware of the vast difference between either Democrat and McCain the Misguided. I used to think that McCain is pretty benign and a Democratic Congress could hold him in check, but not anymore. None of us can afford four years of McCain.

Because folks are emotional right now and not really thinking about the long-term. Although after the bru-ha-ha over the last few days, I would be VERY careful about entrusting the security of this nation to a flip-flopping, senile warmonger like McCain.
