2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSince we're playing dig up old posts tonight, let me share one I wrote in 2008
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5859322I am ready to change our focus to the general
-------
I don't post on this side of the forums much, but I figured tonight deserved it. I am an ardent Clinton supporter, and I am from NY. I knew things were tightening up for my candidate right around New Hampshire, actually, but I stuck with her as long as it seemed she had a fighting chance. Obviously, tonight has deflated my sails in one respect, but in another I find myself gearing up all over again.
My candidate came in second this time around, and I am OK with that.
Obama is not my ideal candidate, and I am OK with that, too.
However, the people of this country have spoken in an election that has given more voices to this process than ever before, and I am now ready to start the election battle for all 50 states.
There has been a lot of animosity here, and there are now voices of "unity" speaking out. Consider me one of them. This election is not about popularity, or race, or sex. It is about setting this country back on a Democratic heading, and, frankly, I believe Obama can and will do that.
I still support Clinton, and I hope she finds success during the Democratic revolution that will occur in November.
As of now, I support Obama, for I am a Democrat.
----------
Any questions? And please remember I wrote that the day it was clear my candidate was going to lose the nomination. That same day.
