Ah, how much in the political / business world it sucks when your real feelings are known.

Luckily, I get to keep a back office job for sometime so I don't have to pretend I love everyone for a while.

Campaigns are places where you demonize the opponents and all kinds of thoughts that outside of the campaign would be horrendous are encouraged. Candidates cease to be people (except your own, where, unless you have a lot of day-to-day, you think they are just awesome) and I think that's what happened here. That was a nasty primary, the kind we would all love to avoid, but ego and democracy get in the way.

I think it's more about a college kid having fun than the psychosis brought on by a political campaign.
