Hillary's "I'm a victim!" campaign is good news: It's Step 4 out of the 5 toward Acceptance
The Five Stages of Grief (or Loss):

1. Denial.
Iowa doesn't matter, Hillary is still inevitable. We won New Hampshire! Iowa was a fluke! They will be steamrolled under our momentum!

2. Anger.
Damn Obama cultists! You're all idiots! All those states where he won are nothing but latte-sipping boutique states! We don't need you!

3. Bargaining.
Dear, Super Delegates: You must subvert the will of the party voters and give this nomination to me. Obama can't win in the General Election ... for some reason. And we will make Michigan and Florida count despite the rules and the consequences they knew of well in advance!
Hey, look! If you pretend it's the General Election, and pretend that Hillary will win the same states against McCain that she won against Obama, and count Michigan and Florida even though Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan, then she's actually kind-of winning!


4. Depression. (Current stage)
Sexism is the real reason why I'm losing. Everyone who criticizes me hates women. It has nothing to do with my policies, record, or my campaign. Poor me. My defeat would be nothing less than a return to pre-suffrage America.

5. Acceptance. (The sooner, the better. Hopefully imminent.)

2. the more I learn about Obama supporters
the less I like Obama.

Accept that. Ya'll are freaky.

Quite frankly neither of them supports my family equality issue so fuck em both. I'm not voting for anyone who who says they're against my family riding on the same bus as everyone else, and I'm mean enough to despise both candidates equally.

Alas voting for the least worst candidate IS what elections are always about. Just having a really hard time choosing which candidate is worse, the CULT of Obama or the lawyerly inability to answer a direct question directly that seems to infect every lawyer who runs for office.
