I have a friend with a much healthier nervous system today....

We were talking about the caucus and the overall primary, and I said I'm really nervous right now because I really want Bernie to when.

"Well I guess I'm lucky," she replied. "I'm not nervous at all. I'm supporting Clinton because she's a woman, and I like her, But I love Bernie too. I'll be happy with whichever wins, so I don't care what happens today."

That is, I'll be happy with whoever wins. I'm supporting HRC because I like her, but I'm A-OK with a Bernie presidency as well.
