I haven’t written much about the ’08 election in the past few weeks. It seems quite obvious that Obama has the nomination locked up. Well, it’s obvious to everybody but the Clinton camp. While I’m an Obama supporter, I am not rejoicing in Hillary’s defeat. I have never been in the Hillary-Puppy-Killer camp. I am also a bit disturbed by the undercurrent of sexism that had a hand in her defeat.

I have mixed feelings about Hillary’s refusal to quit even though the writing is on the wall. On the one hand, I do admire tenacity. At track meets, I always root for the chubby kid who insists on finishing the race even though he’s lap behind everyone else. On the other hand, watching her continue to campaign smacks of insanity. It’s uncomfortable watching her desperate efforts to get the Florida delegates and insisting that she still has a chance. It’s like she’s in her own separate reality.
