    And now that the thread has been completely derailed...

    Can we please talk about the CONVENTION, and what we can do to help our nominee (like it or not) defeat McCain? I think that intelligent progressives can all acknowledge that 4 years of McCain would be an unmitigated disaster for our nation, and for our activities in the world.

    I've openly supported Obama from the beginning of the primaries. BUT I have always said that I would have supported Hillary Clinton 100% if she secured the nomination. I would have swallowed my pride and done what the COUNTRY needed, not what I needed and not what the PARTY needed, but what was best for the COUNTRY.

    People, we need to come together and act like adults here. McCain would be a disaster, a complete disaster, hands down. Do we really want that?

    And Philly Steve, please stop with your Miss Cleo "There's no way Obama could ever possibly win, ever under any circumstances, ever" meme, ok? November's not here yet and if you feel so strongly about this Little Green Footballs will be glad to have you.
