More ridiculous letter writing

As if this would make a difference, especially since I'm from a state which already voted in the primaries. Fuck politics.

"Ms. Clinton,

I greatly admire what you've done for the democratic process by sticking to your guns throughout this nomination battle, but I humbly request that you cede the ticket to Obama. Now is the time for party unity; we MUST set our sights on McCain and the Republican party; we MUST win the White House in '08.

I began as a supporter of yours, but times have changed. I sincerely bought the argument that experience was paramount. Then, you started endorsing policies which shook my faith. The summer gas tax, for instance. And your comments which followed, regarding the uselessness of economists. You've taken a lot of media-related heat on that issue, but I'm here to tell you it was the straw which broke the camel's back for this 1 in 300 million.

I'm tired of arguments about "electability", too. Essentially, "electability" and "experience" are different names for the same concept: "safe bet". Well, the world isn't safe anymore. We need someone to break us out of the status quo, and that someone is the one for change. Barack Obama.

Thank you for listening."
