I actually abstained from my own primary because I couldn't make up my mind between the (then) three good candidates, and I still believe we have two good choices, but neither are perfect. You have chosen to support the less popular of the two, at least in the progressive blogosphere, and have continued to do so with poise and grace in spite of a lot of starry-eyed attacks in places I personally would never have expected. So... yeah, just, thank you. Zuzu, I think I could learn a lesson from the manner in which you have supported Clinton throughout this whole painful, schism-causing process.

We are Democrats. We count all the votes. Always. Disenfranchisement is a Republican tool. The right of the people to have their votes count is more important than the right of particular states to have their votes counted first.

Even if that person doesn't respond, I hope that at least other, lurking people are reading it, and maybe countering other people on other sites... it's all about teaspoons, right? ... Right? Sigh.
