Remember, like, a thousand news cycles ago, when New Hampshire was the great Clinton firewall against which the other candidates would be ground to a fine powder and imbibed in the cocktail of inevitability?  

Remember how that turned out?  

Some news from waaaay back in December:
If Clinton loses Iowa, her 'Plan B'
Clinton readies New Hampshire 'firewall' to slow Obama post-Iowa

Annnd the finals:  
Stunner in N.H.: Clinton defeats Obama
Clinton fights back to take New Hampshire

Etc.

I came across this sentiment in another diary: "If you don't support our party's nominee, then get the hell out!"  What follows is my reaction.  

I recently joined the Democratic party.  It was a tough decision; I have an allergy to party-politics.  I have never been and will never be an uninvestigative straight-ticket voter.  I have respect for Republicans like Arlen Specter, Richard Luger, Chuck Hagel, Walter Jones, and even "thousand years in Iraq" John McCain, to name a few.  I don't agree with all of their positions.  But I respect them.  And if the choice comes to a Democrat I don't respect and don't trust, and a Republican I do trust and do respect, I will consider voting for the Republican, or abstaining.
