Agreed, except for your words in granite – Billary always seems to pull it out – at the expense of whatever it takes. It wouldn't surprise me if she wins against McCain – of course, if that happens the Congress will go Republican in 2010 and stay that way – the trenches will be manned and nothing will be accomplished while she's in office – and she'll successfully blame the Republican attack machine and the vast right wing conspiracy – laughing all the while she throws gasoline on it.

Clinton is willing to destroy the Democratic Party through deception and manipulation -slash and burn – scorched earth – to steal herself the nomination. It's not a small group of people who will work tirelessly against her should that travesty of injustice come to pass. Tirelessly – Tirelessly. Mark my words… and carve them very, very deeply into cold hard blue pearl Scandinavian granite. She will pay with the November election and be driven into oblivion for her destructive self-serving display of moral contempt. Carve! – my words.

It's been so long since we've had a president who might actually care more about the country than his or her own ego, quest for power, and/or allegiance to party, maybe it's become too difficult for the average voter to understand what they're seeing. I used to like Hillary, and over the years I often defended her against what I considered to be unfair attacks, but now that we're seeing just how much damage she is willing to inflict to get her way – regardless of what the cost may be to others, I feel as though I was played. I believe the most decent thing she could do at this point would be to step aside and give America the opportunity to break the cycle of bad leadership it's suffered under for so long. I wish she could see that.

Let's not forget the other big Clinton lie, she says that she was for intervention in Rwanda, see Balloon Juice and Obsidian Wings for their comments on that one.

Li3: Good points, and it shows that O is a far smarter politician than given credit for.

Seriously, let's think about this. Will the superdelegates risk alienating a voting bloc just to pick the weaker candidate? Hillary has won “teh Big states.” Big woop. These are states that are either Democratic strongholds (NY, CA) or are likely to go to McCain (TX, possibly OH). At least Obama can help win Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico, and even Georiga. Put Hillary in there, and suddenly all those states turn red. People will run their projections and the superdelegates will decide accordingly.

Forget about qualifications for a while. Usually, voters don't even get a choice in who the party's nominee is (uggggg, Kerry…). This year, we did. This year, it's been a good run, but Obama is taking the lead and has keep it close so the big states draw even. In the meantime, he cherry picks delegates from everywhere else. Clearly, Hillary has been outmaneuvered.

You may want to hate or string someone up, I just want someone REALLY QUALIFIED that will help the average American.

And Hillary's healthcare does nothing to lower the costs on the drug companies that have her in their pockets.

Shall I get the rope so you can string Obama up?

DLS: 'Does the Clinton-bashing that is equally bad or worse matter?'

No, because Obama has not done any. If it does not exist it does not matter.

AAmerican – After taking note of your points 0 to 0, I give you a ZERO.

Now go write President Obama 200 times – You'll get used to it.

“Does Hillary Clinton’s embrace of destructive, divisive and dirty politics matter?”

Does the Clinton-bashing that is equally bad or worse matter? I suppose you can say it does if it is effective. That's what Rove would probably say.

AAMERICAN — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 20:09:02 +0000

After carefully reading your points 1 through 20 it all adds up and = O!
O for ZERO that is! Since the great majority of your points are either incorrect, misleading or way off the mark, I'm giving you a ZERO.

NOW go write PRESIDENT CLINTON 200 times, You'll get used to it.

Hussein has accomplished …… mmmmm … well …. mmmmm … hummmmm ???????

Shaun: I just posted this above, at Brij's post:

1) O has a delegate lead
2) O has about a 6-799k popular vote lead
3) there is no way Hillary will be able to make either deficit up
4) she will end up, at best, down 120 or so delegates, and down 500k+ votes
5) that's at best
6) the Dems will not commit hari-kiri by pulling a Bush 2000 and selecting Hillary
7 because the Obamaheads wd walk, and Big Mac would kill Hill the Chill
because O will not take a VP slot when he shd be the #1 guy
9) black people would pull a Rodney King if the first black Prez candidate w a real shot at winning is screwed
10) Obama is more electable because he can win in states Hillary cannot
11) because Hillary is eking out wins in the traditional Dem strongholds
12) but O is blowing her out in Red states
13) therefore, Hill's campaign against Mac wd be a defensive one cuz no red state will go blue for her
14) because she has no appeal to Indies
15) while O does appeal to Indies more than Mac
16) and O draws Rep voters, while Hill does not
17) therefore a Mac-O matchup would put Mac on the defensive and O on the offensive
18) because O can win Red states
19) and he's done this all by actually living up to his promise not to fight dirty
20) where Hill only has dirt left and will lose fairly.

Stop sweating it. The man has all the cards, and Hill has to literally cheat to win.

[...] Daily Pundit wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerpt Does Hillary Clinton’s embrace of destructive, divisive and dirty politics matter? If all you care about is her winning the Democratic nomination no matter what it takes, then I suppose not. But if you’re tired of the politics of the Age of Bush and Rove, including the secrecy and fear mongering, and are thirsting for leaders who take the high road, then it certainly does. Some examples of where the win-at-all-costs Clinton campaign has chosen to go: * As former Democratic presidential [...]
