Perfect Example of Why This Primary Needs to End ASAP

Every night the pundits on every network news program argue whether or not the continuation of the Democratic primary is hurting the party's chances for victory come next November. I have long stated that I thought this infighting between Obama and Clinton was incredibly harmful to the party overall, only to be told many times how wrong I was. Well, here is a quote that was featured over on Andrew Sullivan's site that pretty much sums up why I feel this thing needs to come to a conclusion ASAP:

"I am definitely going to try to go with Hillary. I almost feel like [Obama's] the anti-Christ from the Middle East,"
- Mary Bunger, a 44-year-old single mom from Abington, rural Indiana.
Now I realize the base of Hillary's support structure are somewhat --to put it politely-- "loopy", but this takes it to an entirely new level. Hopefully Hillary, when she finally steps aside, will address these issue's with her supporters, and somehow un-brainwash them, eliminating this asinine beliefs many of them hold.
