I'm switching my support to Obama.
It pains me to do this. I like both candidates, but have favored Clinton for various reasons up till now. I still like Hillary. I still think she's a good Dem, but I have always viewed myself as one of the 'reality-based' liberals. After really going over all the numbers I simply see no way for Clinton to win the nomination.
After today, I can see that she has clearly moved into a negative campaign mode. I'm not as bent out of shape by that as many, but there is no point in it since she can't win. All it does is hurt the party and I don't want to see that happen.
You won't see any rw bs from me about Clinton and I'm still going to call people on it if I see it, but for what it's worth I'm 'officially' now on Team Obama. We need to wrap this up and get down to the business of making the republicans a permanent minority party again.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to extend my hand to some of my fellow Clintonistas to come on over and make the switch too. I think it is time, but I won't blame you if you can't bring yourself to do it just yet.
Which brings me to my final point. To those Obama supporters who have been particularly...let's just say hyper-partisan, just a suggestion. If you tone down the hate-rhetoric a bit and stick to issues such as delegate math you will make it easier for us to make the switch. As they say, you catch more flies with honey...
Thanks for hearing me out!
