To all Hillary supporters. Take comfort in knowing that your candidate did better than mine (Edwards
and, before that, Kucinich). The disappointment you are feeling now is a disappointment that has been felt by many others at different stages during this campaign.

Your candidate got more votes (by far) than Edwards, Richardson, Biden, Dodd, Kucinich, and Gravel. Hillary got more votes than all of those other candidates combined, which is an accomplishment to be proud of (I'm certainly proud of the Edwards campaign's success at focusing and influencing the debate and bringing greater attention to issues that might otherwise have been overlooked, and my pride in this accomplishment is not diminished by the fact that he will not be our nominee).



In the spirit of trying to move on, I will refrain from any further posts on Hillary's campaign except to compliment her tenacity and her superior health care plan. At least I try.

14. Rejoice that your hopes were never pinned on Ron Paul's batshit crazy campaign or Mike Huckabee's
anti-geology/anti-biology campaign.

16. Would you be happy with her as VP?
I think he's going to offer it to her, and I think he probably should.

17. I'll be happy if our nominee wins. Period.
My 7th place preference is still much, much better than the alternative.

10. In my book Edwards finished way ahead of Sen Clinton.
I apologize for breaking my oath to stay out of GD-P.

19. I think it may be a fair guess to say that many if not most
of DU's Obama supporters have gotten there via elimination.

I know some HRC supporters got there as well.
