I've been fairly torn this election season, once Edwards dropped out.  And while I tended to the Obama side, I was still pretty pleased either way.  I've been less and less thrilled with Clinton, due to some of the tactics she and her campaign have engaged in.  Still and all, though, it's a pretty fun time to be a Democrat.  I don't think for the

You think it's fun to be a Democrat right now? Wow.

I'm on the other side of that fence, unable to even discuss the election with half my friends, and wondering how they can support this guy. I think this sucks.
