The Tears of a Clown

I have been paying attention to the Democratic National Convention. It's all so very interesting. But, as is so often the case, what happens on the sidelines is sometimes just as interesting as what is on the mainstage. You may have already peeped the following, but take another gander:




This women is articulate and passionate about her politics, clearly. While I'm at a loss as to why CNN spent nearly four minutes on this (well, maybe not a complete loss), this just seems like more whiny HRC supporters who can't get their way and are now digging in their heels. She didn't win! Yes, misogyny played a part of it, let's not get that twised. But it is also very, very obvious that her campaign made several blunders that she never recovered from. So, do we want to sit up here and keep up crying and usher in a new era of conservative foolishness with John McCain or do we want to roll our sleeves up and fight for democratic values and put a (fairly) progressive in office? This seems like a friggin no-brainer to me.
