Because of my work for her out of state I'm on a few disgruntled email chains. It really goes beyond me though. As much as I wanted Hillary to win, and really believe she was the best one for the job, and for taking on the Republicans in the general I feel some need to get a grip. The supreme court alone people. But, for sure any drama at the convention is just good fun. Oh, yeah, they’ve actually been around for awhile.

Hmmm... And so true about the war weariness around here. Lots of guys are coming home to San Diego with the same fatigued look on their faces. I think it reflects how we are all feeling.

After the past seven years, Americans are, rightfully, war-weary, and McCain is a candidate who can't seem to go a day without proclaiming a crisis somewhere that demands an American military reaction. Indeed, this should be the natural predicate for Obama's positive argument in this election: that we desperately need to get our act together at home.

Obama should use it. I know. I'm on board to vote for BO, if for no other reason the Supreme Court--oh and I think the GOP needs to be punished for giving us 8 years of Bush- But I always thought Hillary would be stronger in a general election. The only Dems who have won the white house in the last what? 60 years have been Southerners, so maybe it was hopeless since the only Southerner running was Edwards. Not that would have been a disaster! I always said Hillary was like the Grateful Dead, you had to see her in person. She was great. Sugar-McTrigger is a good nickname. Obama should use it. I know.

I want Hillary back. Anyone else hope that some scandalous story comes out about Obama? Oh please, say the Clintons have one last trick up the sleeve... Shhh... don't tell my Rush Limbaugh loving husband. Did I mention that he doesn't like McCain, either? I call him McTrigger. I think that angry little squeaky voiced man is going to press the button way too quickly... Yikes. Like I said, Bring Hillary Back!!! I never thought I’d say this… I want Hillary back.
