I don’t dare hope. It hurts too much.

but neither can I stop hoping that for once, the president that people WANT to see in office will actually get there.

Hillary is better than nothing (“nothing” spelled r-e-p-u-b-l-i-c-a-n) but Barack Obama . . . that would be better than I could imagine. and I am (almost) ready to stick a bumper sticker on my car . . . if I could just get past this fear of being disappointed again . . .
