A Snake

"The results of those primaries were fair and they should be honored," Clinton told a breakfast gathering hosted by the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation in Washington.

What a snake.

Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan or Florida. How can she with a straight face sit there and say something that is such a complete and utter lie? What a huge bummer. I have such faith in people to do the right thing, but she is just a snake.

I reiterate: I will not vote for this woman if she is nominated. I'll just sit out the election. And, again, I used to genuinely like her.

I do wonder, however, how much damage this is doing to the party. I know I, for one, went from being somewhat non-committal about Hillary (I used to wonder just how she was qualified to be a President, but thought she was a smart and decent lady) to outright hating her. I don't think any Hillary supporters (who I admittedly just don't get) have become bigger fans of Obama in recent weeks, either. The damage being done to the party could be irreversible. An embarassment of riches could turn into an embarassment. If the Democrats somehow lose this election, I'll blame Hillary only, though - she's tearing down Obama and siding with McCain and that's just intolerable.

Obama was on the ballot in Florida (I know, because I voted for him), but the entire situation is ridiculous. There was no campaigning. None. Not even one visit, not one commercial, not one speech, nothing.

Had she lost here, she'd be demanding that the state's delegates not be seated. As it stands, it looks as though we'll have another election in June. It may be voting by mail, however, which I'm not a fan of regardless how well it works in Oregon -- the two states have entirely different populations.

Hopefully, grasping at straws can only get one so far...

Oops, you're right. He wasn't on it in Michigan, though.

We shall see...

I do not see this ending well for the democrats... If Hillary loses the nomination straight up, I think that Obama has a very good chance of taking the general election, but if Hillary wins the nomination, I think that there is no way that she can win... the conservative block will rally like never before to ensure that she does not win.

As I sit back and watch this unfold, part of me wants to see Obama win the popular vote, but lose the nomination due to the whole super-delegate mess... while that would wreck the party, it would be interesting to watch what happens afterwards...

I take it your question about "...How can she with a straight face sit there and say something that is such a complete and utter lie?..." is rhetorical. I still remember B.C.'s nasty tricks that put Tsongas out of the primaries even before I could vote for him. She and Bill are Politicians in every sense of the word. So was Lincoln, although (IMO being a danged yankee from Illinois) he had a few more redeeming qualities than they.

You might want to read "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kern. It gives a really interesting view of how Lincoln out-maneuvered People who were SURE they were going to be the next president of the USA. I think the way Seward was totally out-foxed is one of the reasons he became one of Lincoln's biggest supporters.

In the meantime, sadly to say, it looks like the Democrats are forming their traditional circular firing squad...Maybe Dean can step up behind closed doors and have a little "Come to Jesus Meeting" and save what should have been a cake walk where our biggest concern was if the poplace would fall back on the old tradition of voting the opposite party into the legislature. Old Rush has already said that this is what the "right" should do this election. SIGH...another Lincoln quote is haunting the back of my mind: "...Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory..."

I've always wanted to read "Team of Rivals." Thanks for the added suggestion...
