Time to subMitt

Well, that's that!
Mitt just announced his withdrawal.

While in my heart of hearts I never honestly expected that he'd win the nomination, or especially the presidency, and while I don't agree with him on a few issues, I really had hoped that maybe somehow it would actually happen. It's like the 2 times in my life someone has given me a lotto ticket, and for that brief time, I had the hope that maybe it would be a winner, even against all odds. Blame it on Roald Dahl and his classic tale Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for instilling in my heart from a very young age, an optimism that prevails even when there's hardly any chance of success.

I think it was a good thing for the country to have Mitt in the race. I think it made for interesting discussions, and it's been a more exciting campain time than any other election in my memory. I just hope that the next big decision, (who wins the Dem nomination) has better luck. Because I still desperately hope it's anyone but Hilary. And that's coming from me as a feminist!
