Clinton voter has buyer’s remorse

Evan Handler blogs at Huffington Post about his “wrong” decision to vote for Hillary Clinton in California’s Democratic primary.

Key quote:

“Senator Obama has structured his campaign around what I feel is an irrefutable truth: the United States government will never again function efficiently unless United States citizens force it to do so. His insistence that the U.S. government must serve its citizenry, and his acknowledgment that it will do so only if the citizenry once again holds its government accountable is a statement so simplistic that it is, for some, dismissible. It also happens to be a truism so profound that it might, I have come to hope, be unstoppable. …

“I hope the people of Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont will make better choices than I did last month, and settle the race decisively — before Senator Clinton has the chance to do more damage in her quest to protect us while we sleep. I’ve come to trust the candidate who’s encouraging us to wake up, and to protect ourselves – even, if need be, from our own government.”
