Yet Hillary delegate Nancy Saboori of Newton sat weeping, literally, over breakfast yesterday morning. “I’m so upset I can’t even talk,” said Saboori, 59. “I know the fix is in (for Obama). She won Ohio. They told her to drop out. She won Pennsylvania. They told her to drop out.”

Count Saboori among that 30 percent of Clinton backers who, in a new poll, still won’t vote for Obama. She’s what some Obama people call “bitter enders” or, as Politico put it, “like Japanese soldiers in the South Pacific still fighting after the war is over.”
…
OK, forgive me too, Ms. Saboori. You’re clearly distressed. But it’s time to move on. It’s over. I’m sympathetic. I get it. But enough already. This reminds me of first-graders who take their ball home when they lose.

Here’s my heroine today: Ex-State Rep. Carol Donovan of Woburn. She’s been so upset about media attacks on Hillary, “I find myself, a liberal, watching Fox news, the only ones nice to her.”

What’s the deal with the Clintons and their supporters? Nonstop media coverage is whipping up this supposed division, but 30% of former Hillary supporters is still significant. Do these people look at issues and political platforms, or is it all about platitudes like “experience” and “having a vagina”? Where’s McCain’s vagina? I can’t stop Hillary’s white, middle-aged suburbanite women supporters from voting for McCain, but are they doing it because they support his neoconservative agenda or simply because they feel slighted that the rest of us didn’t vote for their heir apparent?

I have the sneaking suspicion that Obama is being labeled “the one” only because Hillary was presumed to be the Dem nominee years ago, and the talking points were already written, I’s dotted and T’s crossed.

Is two nights of the Clintons at the convention really necessary?
