I never have any problem fervently rooting against, and/or betting against, someone in the semifinals, then flopping course and passionately favoring that person in the finals.

Completely different dynamics.

That being said, I will concede Obama is the first Democratic nominee who I'm not thrilled with, based on personality and my instincts about him. Even the nominees certain to be massacred seemed genuine. I liked Kerry but was simply frustrated we had handicapped pathetically, prioritizing resume and not charisma against an incumbent.

In this case, if we were offered hidden cameras of the Obamas and the Clintons at home and in private settings for several days, I'm confident we would be shocked at the reversal, of reality versus expectation and stereotype.

Mine will be blind D vs. R support, and all that flows from that result.
