What's up with black female Hillary supporters?
Aug 30 2008, 2:00 AM EDT | Post edited: Aug 30 2008, 2:00 AM EDT
i just saw a clip on TV that showed a young black woman in tears. She was upset about the fact that Hillary did not get the nomination. She said "I don't know if I can connect with Obama." Are you kidding me? She is considering not voting at all!! What's up with this? We are doomed if Hillary supporters don't wake up and understand that our country and future are at stake. Obama turned the whole frigging convention over to the Clintons except for his speech. I would like to understand what the problem is. Do you find this valuable?

I met a black female Hillary supporter in just this state at a July 4th party. I sympathized with her plight, because she was clearly going through the standard stages of mourning: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. She was able to see what I was talking about, and we had a very good conversation.

More than 90% of Hillary supporters voted for Obama yesterday.

We are going to have similar fights in the future with various good people over various important issues. Keep the faith and keep your cool, just the way Obama does, and keep right on executing the plan.
