Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee. I hate to say it but in my opinion Hillary Clinton did an awful job of being a sore loser by holding fast to her campaign (and continuing to do so). Its one thing to stay in for the fight, its another to keep fighting despite your allies recommending you give up.
I’m no political expert, but I get the feeling that Hillary’s stubbornness has burned a few bridges over the past few weeks. For whatever reason, she’s having a hard time letting go.
Why do I hate to say it? Well there isn’t much more I respect than tenacity. Holding fast to your dreams (and the liberty to do so) is itself a dream come true. In my own personal life, I’ve seen a lot of diversity in pursuing my dream of running my own software development company. In the past, I’d chased other dreams, but ended up giving them up when their pursuit separated me from my friends, families and allies. Maybe I’m personalizing Hillary’s situation too much. What do you think?
It appears that women in general are the losers, again. Black men got to vote (1870) before women (1920) and it appears that a black could be president before a women. Clinton was asking that we (women) should no longer be viewed or treated as secondary citizen. And while the delegate count was the all imporant measure let’s not forget that she did get the popular vote. So much for one person one vote. Did we forget Florida already…from janice
I’d say that you are personalizing Clinton’s story way too much. You, from what I gather, were pursuing a dream, or happiness, so to speak. You kept going because it was something that you wanted that would bring you fulfillment. What Hillary is doing is more like the kid who starts a fight after losing a highschool football game.from Invest this!
