the game is over...no matter how much hope, no matter how much talent is available, it just isn't in the cards to put a win on the table. I feel obligated to say that this is now the case w/the HRC campaign.

I have stayed on the sidelines through most of this Primary Season, (my candidate, dropped out long ago), essentially waiting for something decisive to come about...after yesterday's FL/MI hearings, that moment has arrived.

Virtually all of us have played some sport, we know that there is time when a win becomes a loss, whether it is the end of an inning or the sound of a whistle. All of us know that there is a point where pulling a win out is virtually impossible. When you are down 54-14 with 1.5 minutes left in the last quarter, you know you are going into the locker room preparing for the next game. When down 17-4 in the bottom of the 9th w/2 outs, no one on base, and the count is 2-2, you know that in just a pitch or or two, it will be over, even if the batter hits a homer or gets on base, the odds are astronomical that you can get 14 runs.

Sports figures have generally learned to take a loss with grace, politicians seem to have missed that point. Naturally, the stakes are a lot higher in politics, but when you have two candidates that are both very well equipped to handle the position of PotUS, it is wise to go with the one that has the backing of most of the voting population, even when it appears that lead is slight. Primaries, like playoffs, move the best team forward to take on the opposition for the crown...we need to be fighting the GOP on the ground, not replaying situations that have already happened.

HRC did a great job, she has gone farther than many suspected, it is time for her to hit the locker room, and state that she will put her energy into beating McCain and the GOP in general, she can still be a potent weapon against McCain and the GOP, and not only on the Senate floor.

Americans are a magnanimous people, we rally behind those who accept defeat gracefully and accept that there are inevitable losses, (as a Seahawks fan, I know this well... ). We tend to distance ourselves from the "I was robbed" scenario, particularly when we have paid so much attention to the game. We know who won and who lost, be it inches or yards. Our instant replays are there for all to see, we know what has happened. What I saw yesterday was a grand attempt to not disenfranchise those who knowingly broke the rules and then cried foul when a penalty was attached. We don't like that in sports, we don't like it in politics as well. Most of us have complained about judicial decisions that disenfranchise individuals or show a lack of justice.

What I saw yesterday was compromise, precisely what this nation should be doing. With that compromise, I think we should move forward, take on those who would do us even more greivous harm, (McCain and the GOP), and take back our nation. Now is the time for us to come together and deal a blow to the neo-cons that they will never recover from.

OK...my little rant is over, ending, once again, with an appeal for all sides of thsi situation to come together and defeat the bastards that would destroy our great nation.

Thank you for taking the time to read this...
