I should be thrilled about Obama, instead I'm furious with Hillary!!!

When I first heard it said that Obama clinched the nomination, making history, I had tears in my eyes, I was so happy. And then came Hillary's speech and I sat there watching it with a sickening feeling in my stomach just knowing that she wasn't going to concede. And she didn't. MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! I think she pretty much killed any opportunity for

UGH. I don't even want to think about Hillary.

BARACK DID IT AND I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY.

I'm writing a happy Obama post now. Damnit.

Feel free to bitch about Hillary and her damn speech here.

Telling though, you know? When Hillary praised Obama (briefly in her speech at the beginning), her crowd came this close to booing, and tried to give her the credit. When Obama praised Hillary at LENGTH and in DETAIL, his crowd cheered and hooted and hollared.

I am SO forking sick of people screaming "sexist!" whenever anyone dares to criticize Clinton. News flash, idiots: voting for someone because they're a woman is every bit as sexist as voting for someone because they're a man. There was some prominent political "feminist" on NPR this morning, talking about how she was going to write in Clinton's name even if she lost the primaries. When the show's host basically asked her, "Considering that Clinton and Obama agree on 95% of the issues, wouldn't it be nice to vote for Obama instead of risking the election of a guy who is all sorts of unfeminist things, like pro-life?" and the woman replied, "NO." Because spite is so much more important than actually advancing your forking feminist cause, moron. Ugh.

But you know what? I'm watching Obama's speech in St. Paul right now (I wish I could have gone), and the man is a rock star. He is going to FLATTEN the opposition.

Sore loser

I couldn't watch Hilary's speech. I saw in the newspaper this a.m. at work that not only did she not concede, she actually was still tooting her own horn. WTF!! Do you know where I can read the transcripts of the speeches?
