Alas, Machiavellianism and Immaturity meet at last
As per Michael Tomasky of the Guardian:
"...he needs to give the Clintons their day in the sun and let Hillary's supporters vent whatever it is they need to vent. About 20% of her voters still say they're planning to vote for McCain. This is childish and ignorant beyond belief, but it is what it is. In a more just world, Obama would be able to stand at that podium and say: "Are you people nuts? You're going to vote for a man who'll appoint supreme court judges who'll outlaw abortion rights because you're mad at me and Howard Dean?" I wish he would, but of course he can't. He barely beat her, so he is in the position of having to smile as the Clintons act out their dramas. Whittling that 20% down to 5% won't happen this week. It'll happen in October. If it happens."
My frigging God, this campaign season is getting ridiculous. I wouldn't mind handing my vote over to Congress and the Electoral College at this point and have them decide for me (as well as every other Unnuanced, Stupid American in existance). Am I being snobbish, snooty, and elitist yet?
Good.
