Now that the primary is over, could Obama supporters PLEASE
Advertisements [?]
STFU about Clinton and her tactics. Please. It doesn't matter. Obama, the far superior candidate, won. It's over. No need to talk about Clinton's pathologies. No need to reveal all of her insecurities and underhandedness. Fine, yes, they all may be there. But, please, STFU. Take them in stride. Do what your man, Obama, did: dust off your shoulders, your knees, and carry on. Have some dignity, for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

It's over. We won. Clinton ran a "spirited" campaign, but it's over. She lost. Why continue to dwell on her loss/Obama's victory? Why be offended by the defeated? Why respond to the person you just beat? Only one reason: to run their noses in it. That ain't cool. No need to respond to the vanquished. It's on to McCrazyassbombiran100yearsiniraqbushhuggerassface.

A shout-out to Clinton supporters: you did your candidate proud. Politics is a bloody sport, not for the weak, and you held your own. It just wasn't her time. Though I supported others--including Obama over Clinton--I would have voted for her and would have supported her firmly.

That is all.

Yes, a lot of this post was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek. But it was posted with all due respect.
