However, there is a lot of truth in it. No Wuss Diva commented on your post "At Least Buy Me Dinner First" about how she had heard from a lot of women who wouldn't vote for Obama - they'd rather vote Republican. That's what I'm talking about. And vice versa. I've heard Obama supporters say the same thing about voting for Clinton. If our top two candidates instilled that in us, that scares me. I hope that it's just passion that has people saying this and that, once some time has passed, we'll all unite behind Obama. It scares me to think that animosity against him might give us four more years of McSame. I was going for sarcasm in most of that post. However, there is a lot of truth in it.

I want a candidate I can feel passionate about. When you do feel as passionate about a candidate as I and many others have about Hillary Clinton, moving on is much easier said than done. We will get there. But I did put my heart and soul into this race, and it will take some time. I will get there. If this were the other way around, there are plenty of Obama supporters who would need their time and space, too. The Hillary supporters who post on this blog are intelligent women - we know what needs to be done now. None of us are going to vote for McCain.
