14. Thanks hrmjustin!

I still think it's time that we see what a woman in charge could do, for a change. It's been wall-to-wall men ever since the days of the first President. I think we need a change.

I DO like Bernie Sanders a LOT, and I've loved Elizabeth Warren since I first saw her interviewed on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show, early-on. But I see Hillary as best positioned to go all the way. My first choice is Hillary Clinton, but I will willingly and enthusiastically vote for Bernie if it turns out that HE's the one to be our standard-bearer in 2016. And I am sad and a little worried to see so little of that same sentiment coming from non-Hillary supporters. Painting it as holding their nose and voting, fomenting all kinds of discord so we're all fighting with each other, threatening to stay home and pout if they don't get their way (I mean, SERIOUSLY, we have the teabaggers already taking care of that position just fine thankyouverymuch), insisting on the perfect as opposed to the good and/or the most practical.

The rigidity here and elsewhere on our side is what troubles me. I don't want to see another Eugene McCarthy vs Hubert Humphrey thing developing here, which is what happened in 1968. That did NOTHING but divide our side and shove richard fucking nixon down our throats. Dear GOD I do NOT want to see that repeating itself again now! It terrifies me that we'll be so divided we'll find ourselves stuck with a president walker or a president cruz or GOD FORBID another president bush.
