    ---LeCastor: I don't denigrate HRC supporters or call them stupid, shrill, naive, etc. I see no point in doing that. What I do have a problem with is someone whose support of one candidate enables them to make ridiculous blanket statements about people who support another candidate that are unsupported by fact. I assure you, I'm not sniffing magic peace dust and it's pure speculation on your part to predict that Obama will be another McGovern or Carter. Obama does have real policies and according to a lot of the stuff I've read (Salon, Slate, NYT, the Atlantic, mainly), they're not all that different from HRC's.

    Goof Lord, when you write things like "Sometimes I think I'm the only sane person around," how can anyone think you're anything other than a self-righteous snob? And the thing is, I agree with you most of the time! Gah, your pen is poison.
