262. Now I am beginning to understand
When it became clear a couple weeks back that Sen. Obama was the presumptive nominee, I felt like it was good idea to be somewhat sympathetic and empathetic to Sen. Clinton.

After all, on the purely human level, losing the Democratic nomination after entering the race with every conceivable advantage imaginable, but losing the race to a relative new face on the national scene must be both a very disappointing and perhaps even humiliating experience.
On the purely human level I could not help but feel for her a little bit.

I could even understand her staying in the race until the last primaries were finished for the sake of wrapping things.

But her campaign of deception and the way she is manipulating decent and honest, hard working people and playing on their fears and emotions for her own selfish ambition and with total disregard for advancing the ideals which she claims to represent - has so disgusted me.
