"But I think a lot of the burden actually falls on Hillary to make peace to some extent with Obama and make sure this is as seamless and as frictionless a convention as possible." I admire Hillary a lot, but she can't tell me who to vote for. The whole attitude here, that the PUMAa are not really Democrats, is the reality of schism: the message from the hunkered down pols is "go away," which I shall be pleased to do. Calling me a Republican may give some sort of psychological comfort, but it can't make a Democrat who has voted for every Democrat since Humphrey a Republican. I think Obama is actually the most absurd nominee ever--a fading fad in a culture of 24-hour sensations. The fad is very stale, and we are stuck with an opportunistic kid with no accomplishments in public life whatsoever and a tendency to pervaricate. Ain't votin' for that. The superdelegates defaulted.
