Well, after being initially all fired up about Hillary and put off by Obama, I am now pretty much disgusted with both of them. This primary delegate crap has gone on too long, and while I'm still halfheartedly rooting for Hillary to win the candidacy, I pretty much don't care at this point. The fact that this has been drawn out so long does not serve the party well in the least, and as evidenced by the tight race for the ticket, there are going to be a slew of pissed off Democrats who wanted someone else no matter who wins.
Unless there's a combined ticket with both of their names on it. I don't really see either of them as second fiddle to the other, though many feel Hillary should concede to Obama. Of gender and race, I think unfortunately sexism is the weightier variable in this contest, though being white I certainly am no expert on such commentary.
It's just a big mess. I am preparing myself to be disappointed that Barack will probably win the ticket and I will have to somehow stomach voting for a candidate that I am not enthusiastic about. After Hillary's "enemy fire" video stunt recently, though, it won't be as hard as I initially feared it would be. {sigh}

While I do hate that it feels like they are dragging this on and dividing the party, at the same time, it is drawing so much attention to the Democrats, that no one is paying much attention to the Republicans and John McCain!
Hmmm, that's an interesting point! :) I will cling to any optimistic way of thinking of the mess our party has gotten itself into.
I suppose another positive is that they both are such strong candidates, and have drawn more energy and votes from the democratic party than in quite some time.
