Michael sad

So, I've heard (what I can from the internet--since we haven't had TV for the past two weeks), that Hillary will be giving her concession speech on Saturday (although she did win my home state of South Dakota, didn't she?). It was inevitable, based on how the numbers have been going since...what? February? Well, the fact that we've now officially reached this moment, I feel great sadness. Certainly, she wouldn't want people feeling sorry for her, I doubt that's her style, but that's what I'm feeling. Sympathy. Sorrow. However, she led a strong campaign. History will remember this particular race as a good one. It was exciting, it got the nation to be politically active, and it was full of amazing firsts. It seems doubtful that Obama will choose Hillary as his running mate (but they did have that mysterious meeting today--nothing released quite yet), but certainly, he can find a high place in his cabinet for such a go-getter, smarty pants as Hillary. I will miss this, what has been a crazy half year + for the Democrats, but I'm glad it's coming to a close. Frankly, I am still unsure of how I feel about Obama, but given the other option (McCain), clearly I'm leaning to our good friend Barack. As they've been saying throughout this race, and as I'm optimistically hoping, this country is in for some big changes. Make it happen Barack...and eventually, I'll come around and see the light...I'm sure. Just give me a bit of time to mourn, okay? I'll be thinkin' about you, my dear gal Hill.

Dammit, I'm sad.
