This letter is associated with the following article:
Obama takes North Carolina and only barely loses Indiana, narrowing Hillary's hopes to the 366 phantom delegates from Michigan and Florida.
  • Shawn are you going to ante up and write us all a check or at least a thank-you card

    if Obama is elected in November AND makes this country better, more peaceful and prosperous nation?

    I know that this, in your universe, is an impossibility. Like dogs flying. Like UFO's being sighted in Switzerland. Like Saint Patrick's day falling on a Sunday in December. But what if?

    Will you say you're sorry at least for so much moaning and groaning? The funny thing is that you don't say whether you are going to vote for McCain or this Dukakis-Obama fellow. Even Bill Kristol points out that Dukakis probably would have won if Reagan had had a 30% approval rating. (Or if Reagan had started a new war with the U.S.S.R. instead of officiating at the end of the Cold War with the U.S.S.R....)

    The real question is, my friend, are you going to vote for McCain or Obama in the general, presuming, as the numbers seem to imply, that Obama is the Democratic nominee?

    And here's another kicker: did you send any money to the Clinton campaign since you have been so anxious for her to win?

    Just curious. I held out sending any campaign contributions, hoping to spend it in the general rather than watching two Democrats go nuclear on one another. However, after watching what I felt like was media saturation again with a pastor that I didn't care to hear one more moment about, and Clinton offering to obliterate Iran, I sent $25 to Obama and I'm glad I did. And lucky that I could since financially I've been worse off than I am at the moment. Thank-you refund check.

    So...how much do have you invested in this thing? Other than pain and moaning I mean?
