58. Your "...then-presumptive nominee, Hillary." really jumps out at me.
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 11:04 PM by scarletwoman
"Presumptive" to who? I NEVER wanted her to be the nominee, going as far back as at 2002.

Throughout the past the 2+ years there have been plenty of us who absolutely did NOT want Clinton to be the Dem nominee -- long before Obama even announced.

I wanted Kucinich, just as I did in 2004. When Kucinich dropped out I went to Edwards. Now I'm stuck with Obama by default -- there are a few things about him that I do appreciate -- basically, his biggest appeal for me is that he's the only means left of preventing a Clinton nomination.

Preventing Clinton from getting the nomination is something I have fervently pursued from the very beginning. Not least because of arrogant crap like "presumptive nominee".

Yeah, that was DAMN presumptive -- presumptious, even. We were hearing this even before all the other primary candidates announced.

I very much resent being told to bow down to an inevitability -- at the very least, it brings out the rebel in me.
