I have been watching CNN. They just reported that Senator Clinton will be releasing her delegates. I understand it is a show of party unity but yikes. My heart goes out to her supporters, especially those who worked very hard as volunteers for her. These folks will not get the sense of satisfaction during the roll call to know that their candidate was represented in the delegate voting tabulation. I have no doubts that many of them went through the same experiences for their candidates as I did for Mike Huckabee.
I've been waiting for almost seven months (since February) for my similar moment of gratification which I hope will come next week. If the Huckabee delegates have been released it will be very painful and my feelings will be hurt. I understand the reasoning behind such decisions and I hold no one accountable. However I worked tirelessly for long hours and sacrificed myself last Fall and Winter for my candidate.
This will probably be very painful to Hillary's supporters. I feel bad for them.
