You know, I'm tired too. I'm tired of people from my own party calling Hillary Clinton elitist, boring, calculating, etc. etc. I'm tired of people claiming that she is unelectable with no support other than the received wisdom about her "negatives," ie., that she's elitist, boring, calculating, and married to Bill Clinton. I'm tired of inflated rhetoric about how Obama "transcends race," with the implication that people who don't support him...well, you do the math. I'm tired of a lot of things.
We're all tired. You are no doubt tired of hearing the above from me, as I am, in turn, tired of being directed to a website written by campaign operatives as proof that a candidate "has substance."
We've got two candidates. They have almost identical policy platforms. They have almost identical moderate political identities, and are likely to stay equally moderate. One of them is more "inspirational" than the other. Some people want that a whole lot. Others, not so much. One of them has "negatives." Some people are worried about that. Others, not so much.
Let's just vote and then wait for the convention, ok?
