Who Should Really Leave the Race

The most on-target assessment given last night's election results:

Hillary Clinton's supporters have gotten incredibly annoying, with their chants of "Yes She Can," and charges of cultism and their desperate yelps of schadenfreude every time Clinton looks like she might actually be "recapturing the lead" that she never had.

And Obama's supporters, yes, you too are incredibly annoying, with your accusations of Clintonian Republicanism and your whiny little cries about how you're going to take your ball and run home if your candidate doesn't win the primary.

Supporters of both candidates, please listen closely. For the good of the Party -- no, for the good of the Nation! -- the time has come for you to leave this race.

There's a wonderful world outside the campaigns that deserves discovery. And the rest of us deserve a break from all of the self-important, democracy-in-the-balance hyperbole.

  1. LOL seriously? You're blogging about a political blogger who blogged about political bloggers blogging too much about politics. I don't even know where to begin with that one!

  2. Actually, Xo.net, I'm blogging against obnoxious zealotry in the campaigns. I've never begrudged anyone for blogging too much about politics.

    However, I do begrudge those who snark without putting their name by it. Why hide behind anonymous unless you've got something to hide?
