I want to thank all of you who responded to my last blog. I really took a risk and shared alot of myself last time. It meant so much that you all reached back. am being so super serious it's not even funny.

I have a best friend named Hillary since 5th grade. She is a die hard, never gonna change Repub. She also knows that I'm more of an independent leaning, conservative minded Democrat. One of the things she does that is one of "our things" (I'm sure every1 here has a really really good friend that does "those things" that makes your friendship special, but from the outside it looks like...I really can't think of the word; one of her friends, who would later become a mutual friend just asked her right out "Hil are you **trying** to get her to blow and beat you down? 'Cause I'm just gonna let her!" Those kinda things?) is that she'll send me the latest gossip and garbage about the latest prominent Democrat; thus the Hillary/Obama stuff has been flooding my email in box. Admittedly, having 2 children under 5 has kept her abit...occupied. But she'll find at least 1 per day.
I can't wait to hear what she has to say about their "mutual decision to move forward from their race arguments."
Perhaps I'm missing it (again, being super serious here, and asking for insights): when Obama won, I thought "This is an excellent message for all minorities, and for all people of any sort; it's possible for all of us to be the next president." When Hillary won, I thought "Hahaha! See? My grade school teacher was right! Figures never lie, but liars will always figure! Good for you, hon." When their catty behavior kept ratcheting up, though, I couldn't put my finger on it, but I kept thinking "Character still counts, y'all. It's not a reflection on who gets muddier when you sling it, but that you are at all."
So what's...this? Why is it significant that they're...stopping? I'm confused.
And what does it say about Edwards that he commented on the fact that it was going on, versus participating?
