    Take Your Ball And Go the F*** Home

    The screeds from the hiding-in-plain-sight GOP trolls are so tiresome and repetitive. If you're seriously considering a spite-vote for McCain because Sen. Clinton wasn't anointed as the candidate then go ahead, do what you have to do, but for Christ's sake shut up about it; just take your ball and go play somewhere else, the grown-ups are trying to win an election here.

    And who are these people, anyway? What kind of person would willingly subject the country to at least four more years of Republican waste and disaster? I can almost forgive the GOP hardcore--they're old and scared and don't really know any better--but voters who DO know better and would STILL choose an extended Bush policy over the possibility for growth and improvement are, at best, felony-stupid.

    This is a good day for Democrats, and a hopeful day for the country. We have a strong candidate--two, really, unless Sen. Clinton concedes--who has every chance of taking the White House in November. We have a very enthusiastic voter base who are more engaged and involved than at any other time during my adult life.

    And the GOP has...McCain. The same old Keating Five, memory-impaired, sweaty McCain. You're going to vote for THAT if you don't get your way? Please. F*** off.
