I'm really glad this whole Democratic primary kerfuffle is pretty much done with. I'm also glad Obama is probably gonna end up on top, 'cause I like his views a bit better than Hillary's.

But I'm grateful to Hillary, despite her complete inability to know when to quit, 'cause she really has made a lot of progress for women. She almost had the nomination for president. And y'know, it's actually almost better for feminism that she lost, 'cause she lost for a good reason, the best reason. She didn't lose because she's a woman, 'cause if you want to think like that, you can balance it by saying yes, but Obama could've lost because he's black. No, she didn't lose because she's a woman -- she lost because people simply liked her opponent and what that person stands for a little bit better. She lost fair and square, and she made a really good showing, and that's great, a great stride forward for equality.

And now, I'll be rooting strongly for Obama, 'cause my party has totally failed me by choosing a candidate that only believes in half of the party platform, and that's just crap. Bob Barr is no Libertarian -- Libertarians don't support a marriage ban amendment, or the War on Drugs, or any of the other anti-freedom ideas he's espoused over the years. Obama matches my views a whole lot more than Barr or anyone else any party is running. He'll have my vote in November.
