Sad times

Most democrats seem happy right about now, but I'm not among them. I've neglected this blog because there hasn't been anything new I've had to say. I still don't know what I'll do come November. This is the first time since I came of age to vote that I skipped watching the convention. I tuned in briefly a couple of times and had to turn it off immediately. My visceral dislike of Obama and the hangover of the anger from the primaries made it too painful to see his placards waving in the air. I enjoyed reading the positive commentary on the speeches by Bill and Hillary but it was bittersweet.
