I have a few things running through my head tonight.

There is a great American post that I have been formulating, after watching and reading some of the non-sporting events to come out of China for the last two weeks.

There is also my story of cruising around town all weekend on my brand new scooter (it’s super cool).

But there is a late breaking post in my head this evening, prompted by John McCain’s latest television commercial. In it he is trying to stir the pot, rile up the Hillary supporters who are angry that she didn’t win. There was also a poll today that said 30% of Clinton’s supporters aren’t sure whether they will vote for Obama or McCain.

How can that be?

How can anyone who wanted Hillary to be president, who wants a change from the administration and policies of the current White House be so selfish and so “I’m taking my ball home and you can’t play with it” to let a similar administration and policies move in for another 4 years.

The primary process worked the way it was supposed to. Really, it did. She won in Florida, he DIDN’T RUN in Florida, because Florida was not in play. You can debate whether Florida should have been disqualified all you want, but it was, and everyone knew it was. Her victory there was hollow and not a true portrait of what the state’s democrats might have voted for, had everyone actually been on the ballot.

There are differences between Barack and Hillary, of course. But those difference are minor compared to Barack and John. To vote for John, or not vote for Barack means that Clinton’s supporters’ own hurt feelings are more important than the positions that the democrats stand for, that they are so focused on themselves and their disappointment that they would rather see the policies that they despise, that Clinton herself fought against, stay in Washington for another 4 years.

That is selfish.

Get over it, and join together.

By the way, this rant about the selfish and bitter is in no way an endorsement of Barack Obama or of John McCain. It is about thinking people who take themselves too seriously suck.
