You Really, Really Like Me

Last night, Hillary Clinton gave an endorsement speech for Barack Obama. How well she did depends a lot on whom you ask. Today, the news media is on fire with questions like "She said she endorses him, sure, but she didn't say she liked him." "She may like him, but does she love him?" "He may be the nominee, but would she take the man to third base, or what?"

Enough already. Enough with the hand wringing, enough with the "you complete me" fawning from Clinton's and Obama's respective disciples. Enough with who really really endorses whom and who passed whom a note in gym class.

Our next president will be one of two men. Your decision, and mine, and that of every American at this point has nothing to do with parties or endorsements. It has to do with which of them will be most able to implement policies that you agree with.

Addendum (6:15 pm):

I'm listening to Bill Clinton speak right now, and he would totally take Barack to third base.
