I’m sick of being so damn naive. I really, really thought Obama had a chance to cement his claim to the nomination today.
I pictured a country coming together, united by a charismatic leader in a time of great need. A leader that can reestablish our international friendships and partnerships while mothballing our warships.
Hillary’s a great politician. I just don’t believe anything she says. I don’t even know why. I believe just about everything that Obama says (again, naive much?)
Regardless, I pictured Obama sweeping to a crushing victory today and using that as a launch pad to mop up the intervening primaries before Super Tuesday.
Alas, it was not to be. Senator Obama did wonderfully, but it wasn’t the image I had in my head.
Of course, Obama can still win and I certainly hope he does. It just won’t be the giant, unifying leap forward I had thought it would be prior to New Hampshire.
Fairly crushed actually.
