Happy for the winners, sad for the losers. Anyone have the same problem?
My problem is, I like all our candidates. I was delighted for Obama when he won the first primary, and thrilled for Hillary when she won hers. Now I want Edwards to get the next one. (Hell, if I can't have Gore or DK, JE would be my choice to win it all in the end, but am not holding my breath; would like to see him win at least a few, though.) Each time, I was equally sad for the losers, because they're all good people who have put their whole hearts and souls into this. I'm trying not to get as emotionally worked up about the election this time as I did in '04, but I still think we're in for a bumpy ride.

1. me too, but I cry when I listen to news stories on the radio in the car
After the new President is inaugurated, I think I'll be collapsing in a pool of tears - grief over what has happened and relief at the end of the nightmare

4. The who?
Sorry, am not a sports fan. :) Ah, but did you like the winners of that matchup, at least?

3. Great post!
All of our candidates are good.

I too am trying to keep cool in the primaries because I have been miserable since 2000. I just want a Dem (any of our candidates will do) in the White House.

5. Yes, me too.
I haven't demonized any of our candidates. I felt bad for Edwards after Nevada. I plan on voting for Hillary, but would happily vote for the other two.
