Saying "It really didn't take much" contradicts what really happened. In actuality, the primaries in 2008 were tooth-and-nail and contest to the very end. We didn't have a nominee until June; McCain clinched the Republican nomination 3 months earlier in March.
I support Hillary Clinton because not only is she a liberal, she is tough as nails, she's a fighter, and she will do whatever it takes to combat the right-wing assholes of this country. She also has the support of some other great Democrats, like Elizabeth Warren and Howard Dean.
If you think there's a better candidate who is not only a liberal like Hillary, but who also has a viable chance at winning, let's hear it.
