She’s a pure political animal–a disgusting thing. I could not be more disappointed in Senator Clinton.
Obama is forced to spend the next 4 years in the Senate making bad votes….
Not necessarily. We saw how he approached controversial votes when he was in the state legislature; “Just say ‘present’!”
BTW, since HRC still has four years to her current term, she too will be forced to cast bad votes over the next three years while she waits to be drafted.
Keep in mind a long-term strategy to win the White House is more suited to a 45 y.o. than to a 60 y.o. candidate. Indeed, Obama can aford to wait through two terms of John McCain, and still be younger than HRC is today.
This is probably HRC’s only chance.
Who is “you guys” exactly?
So you are completely impartial on this?
and she blew it, big-time.
The only realistic way she can get nominated now is by persuading the bulk of the remaining superdelegates to back her, and to convince some who’ve declared to switch. That’s about as “inside baseball” as it gets, and it will result in civil war.
Hillary can’t win, but she can still sabotage Obama. I can’t imagine why she thinks that is worth doing, but she clearly does.
for running the worst Democratic campaign in modern times. Just days after the Obama campaign announced the opening of over half a dozen field offices in PA, look at what the clowns over at Camp Clinton had to say:
Opening up offices in PA is shunning that state? Wow this guys are morons.
And after determing only Hillary can proclaim who has crossed her imaginary Commander-in-Chief threshold, it’s also Camp. Clinton who decides on the firing of staffers from other campaign. Hillary is charge of paying these idiots and that’s troubling to know that these same people would be in her administration.
As Olbermann said last night, Clinton is running as if she’s the Republican nominee.
what follows in the GOP caucus in pandemonium, and it won’t be McCain again in 2012 (should he live so long).
Conservatives will see a McCain failure as a public denunciation of a moderate course, particularly, if a Democratic win comes with coat tails.
Moderate Republicans will argue that McCain wasn’t centerist enough (e.g. he’s running in favor of “forever war” in Iraq), and want to put forward true centerists.
Neo-cons will blame evangelicals for splintering the party with the Huckabee campaign and will fear that Huckabee has let the economic populist genie out of the bottle.
Evangelicals will feel sold out by the only party they can call home and could grown cynical and less active.
There will be no real coordinating leadership in the party, and in a vacuum, the self-destructive Bush-Cheney loyalist crew will take the party’s leadership posts, with a smattering of out for themselves shallow McCainites out of touch with the grass roots of the GOP.
Also, a party out of power always sees lobbyist donations fall, so cash will be even more tight than it has been this cycle.
Until someone with an actual vision pulls it back together again, a McCain loss would leave the GOP as a humpty dumpty party.
the same scenario that was going to lead to a brokered Republican convention this year? That all of the different bases that the party has been built on will no longer be able to work together and no one could possibly win outright because each of those causes had become too extreme? It didn’t happen that way, did it?
May I ask who in the Democratic Party is showing the vision to unify it?
You almost always get caught up in the fight.
The Staff in particular can lose sight of bigger goals.
When Hillary said she was “honored” to be on stage with Obama I think it was genuine heartfelt respect.
Problem is it sounded valedictory and led the talking heads to declare the campaign over.
Immediately after in what seemed like a sybil like move Hillary cried shame–but if understood in the context of the campaign, she had to go nuclear to assure her campaign and supporters she was still in the race.
While there are members of her campaign that see only the next contest and will torch North carolina to win Pennsylvania, will torch the party to win thenomination and so on, I do not think it comes from the top, but it is very easy for the top to get sucked into the bubble.
that you are right. I really do.
