I certainly accept the sincerity of your position, even if I don't agree with it. I find it difficult to fathom how Obama can be considered any more a part of the "radical left" than Hillary Clinton. Aside from minor differences in healthcare policy (HRC's being arguably more "left") and foreign policy (HRC's being arguably more "right", or at least neocon in its bellicosity), these two candidates share largely identical views and platforms.
Obama, I think unquestionably, is a better vessel for HRC's legacy than is John McCain, and I will do my best to convince you of that in the coming months. I will try just as hard to do so in a respectful and gracious manner. Please forgive me should I fail to meet those standards, and call me out whenever I don't. We have much to do to repair our country. If we cannot come together to do so, then the shame of history shall be visited upon our heads.
