Literally -- <I>hundreds</I> of years. Compared to that, five months, or eight years, is not very long at all. Just to put things into some terribly awkward perspective.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could encourage you to go outside and enjoy the weather. But this is DC, the only place I know where going outside in June is tantamount to punishment. So instead, I say snuggle up to a paperback copy or a DVD copy of Primary Colors and relive the whip-snappin' glory days of Miz Hillary. <BR/><BR/>As F.

She'll bounce back. The music will help. Time will help. Maybe a margarita or three on some nice Florida beach as the sun goes doen. Maybe some positive step on the part of the Lesser (of Two Evils, aka Obama) to engage Clinton voters rather than trying to scare them into voting for the guy who just barely beat the girl.<BR/><BR/>Who knows?

Bewilderment? Distrust? Depression? Disbelief? Loss of faith? It took a looong time to shake it then. <BR/><BR/>Your post hits it.
