I was once a disappointed supporter of Mo Udall and of Gary Hart and of Bob Kerry and of Howard Dean and I never once expected that the nominee had to suck up to me for my vote. I was supposed to compare the two major party nominees, decide who was better on the issues and/or character and/or whatever other criteria I might use to make voting decisions. Then, I would support that candidate...or I could stay home or vote for a candidate who didn't have a chance to win. If you have hurt feelings or your child was called a bad name by some idiot supporters of a candidate and you use those as your criteria, well, it is a free country, after all. But, don't be surprised if President McCain puts another Scalia-clone judge on the Supreme Court and when we still have troops in Iraq or go to war with Iran during his tenure; when McCain has to reinstitute the draft to provide enough soldiers to fight three wars, explain to your son that going into the Army and occupying Tehran is really much better than having his felings hurt.
