Even with the bickering
This has been the most incredible primary season of my lifetime. What a ride!

Remember Caroline and Ted endorsing? How cool was that!

Remember the beginning when all of our candidates first walked onstage at a debate and you just went wow! What a great field we have! Then looked at the pukes and snickered at their choices.

It has been divisive at times and is especially so at the moment but years from now we will be talking about this primary. It has been spectacular!

1. I'm suffering from primary fatigue myself, but
should Obama win the GE, which I think he has an excellent chance of doing, it will all have been worth it. Historic! And to contemplate having a man in the wh with his intelligence, who can give a helluva speech, gives me goose bumps!

6. "...who can give a helluva speech...." Hey, after Bush, I'd be happy to have someone who can
complete an entire sentence.

Obama will be a dream.:hi:

3. I agree. I bash Clinton left and right and between you and me (whispering): I say I would not vote
for her but if she did somehow miraculously come back to win, I'd vote for her in a second. All I have to do is think back on the last 7-8 years. I just picture the Iraq war, Karl Rove, the torture, the domestic spying, Gonzales, John Conyers having to hold hearings in a basement room etc. etc. etc. and it really is not a difficult decision anymore. I'll speak for myself but I know I get caught up in the heat of this battle and post things I should not but I KNOW I will vote for the Dem no matter who that is because any other option is 1,000 times worse. It is time to come together for our country.

10. I say or think that same thing myself over and over
But in the end I seriously doubt I could pull a lever for Mcgramps.

7. An interesting thing for me in terms of progress along the way
Clinton has become a better speaker and Obama has become a better debater. Just something I've observed.
