Sometimes being an Obama supporter is like rooting for the Red Sox...
...you love the team to pieces, but you'd also like to tell some of the agressively diehard fans to take a flying leap and quit bein' a douche.

For those of you are gracious and polite in victory, my hat is off to you, but to the rest of you...

Who do you think you are? YANKEE fans or something?

3. Please don't ever compare Sox fans to Yankee fans
As a Yankee fan, I refuse to be compared to those...people.

11. Some Obama people can go over the top.
I don't see what that has to do with them being like Yankee fans. There are fans of every team that can be annoying and over the top.

At least you don't see New York football fans chanting "Sox suck" during football games like Pats fans cheer "Yankees suck" at their games. Never seen more bandwagon fans than there are for New England, but I'm sure there all diving off now.

But I'm getting off topic.

8. Amen to that, Bicoastal. Thank you for saying it. It needs to be said.
In fact, I am impressed at how brave Hillary's supporters have been, how they have stood with her through the past four weeks. I wonder if our side would have been as resilient.

In any event, thanks for saying what needs to be said.

K&R.
