Apparently the boo birds in the crowd at Hillary Clinton goodbye speech are not going away. Instead they are organizing themselves and threatening to vote for John McCain. They have their own website where aggrieved Hillary supporters are plotting revenge. The founders say they have had half a million visitors at the site and they have Howard Dean calling to see what he can do to keep them in the fold.
The aggrieved say they will vote for McCain but the range of options they throw out — vote for McCain, write in Hillary or sit home — suggest they aren’t part of some nefarious plot by the Republicans to sing McCain’s praises. It doesn’t seem they are heeding their heroine’s pleas to get on the Barack Obama Express. Maybe emotions will cool with the passage of time, but once people are invested in a mass effort it is hard to give it up and concede their ire was just a passing emotion.
