    @peter maranci

    Nice post. You convinced me. I'm on board with Obama, but it took me till after the primary season, and I was no big Hillary supporter either. Anyway, no need to "settle down ... ape man" as Klytus advised. Your counter-response impressed me. Then again, I'm a jaded mercenary when it comes to most of this shit -- you know, the lesser of two evils voter who doesn't mind hearing about the flaws of the candidate for whom he'll pull the lever.
