"Now they call me [Mrs.] Bitterness..."
It's not thumbing my nose at Barack Obama's "bitter" comments (which I happen to agree with him about, but that's beside the point)...I'm rather irked at Hillary Clinton's win in PA this evening. I know even Obama's folks were figuring he'd lose this one, but I was hopeful they were wrong. I was really hoping that this would be the moment Clinton would finally have to read the writing on the wall, pack up her toys, and just go home. I think what annoys me the most about this race between Obama and Clinton is the fact that the longer it goes on, the more fearful I become that once again, my vote, my voice in this country, will count for nothing. My folks instilled in me that voting and participating and being knowledgable about politics is important. It's one of the greatest privleges we as Americans have. But for 8 years already, I've cast my vote and believed I had a small chance to make a change in this country. And twice in those 8 years, my voice has been quashed. I don't want it to happen again. Hell, I cried during John Kerry's concession speech 4 years ago, and I only voted for the guy because he was the Democratic candidate! I'm still going to do as much as I can to help Barack Obama get the Democratic nomination and get elected President. But I've come to the decision that if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, I'm done. I'll sit this election out, and it's going to be a cold day in Hell before I get out and vote again.
