ahead of my emotions sometimes. I've been crying like a baby.

I've known Bernie was definitely not going to be president since the night before California. I was angry and defeated, but I didn't cry... so this shocked me.

My Dem family and I have cried over many MANY noble and totally worthy Dem candidates who didn't make it to the end.

I was about 5 when Adlai lost the second time and my mother and elder sister sank to the floor crying. I looked and looked.

On Edit: Oh, did I mention Hubert, Walter, Jimmy, GORE and everybody else?

Bernie is totally awesome.

Regarding Adlai...I was too young to remember him at the conventions. However I watched conventions at my mother's knee, and she told me many times what a fine man he was and how she admired him.
