Pobrecitos….
For all their delight in soaring voter registration and strong poll numbers, some Democrats fear the contest between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton might have a nightmarish end, which could wreck a promising election year. The chief worry is that Clinton may carry her recent winning streak into Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina and other states, leaving her with unquestioned momentum but fewer pledged delegates than Obama. Party leaders then would face a wrenching choice: Steer the nomination to a fading Obama, even as signs suggested Clinton could be the stronger candidate in November; or go with the surging Clinton and risk infuriating Obama’s supporters, especially blacks, the Democratic Party’s most loyal base.

Hillary will not give up, no matter what. She will carry this to the bitter end.
People are suggesting that PA or IN will tell the tale and that she will then step aside for the “Good of the Party” throw her support to Obama and accept the inevitable like a good soldier.
I suggest that this is in error, and that knackering Obama… deluxe, royal, and a la mode, will be in her best interest.
In her mind, SHE IS PRESIDENTIAL. Obama is an upstart. He must be destroyed for his impudence.
Here’s how the destruction will occur:
She will NOT bow out, nor surrender, nor gracefully do anything of the sort. She will carry the rancorous, bitter fight to the convention and use ’scorched-earth’ rhetoric until the last partisan is dead.
Why?
If he tanks in the general as Mondale did, she will be PERFECTLY situated to come back in 4 years with her “I TOLD YOU SO” campaign, and… (God help me), try again.
Bill’s down with this, so desperate is he for the bully pulpit of the White House, just to have a shot at changing his “Lewinsky Presidue” legacy to something less (ahem) seminal. It’s his last hope to lose “Slick Willy the Cigar President” as the epitaph he will be buried under.
Already happening…
Watch for rampant feminist dissection of the “Misogynistic campaign of ‘08? as prelude. Already they’re ramping up the “womyn hater” rhetoric, and competely ignoring the fact that America DOES NOT ‘hate’ women! We don’t hate women in general, women in business or women in politics.
A majority of the electorate just doesn’t like Hillary Clinton. She’s the “head cheese” on the cold cut tray of Presidential politics.
Me? I don’t like her for herself and never have. I despise Bill Clinton as a crapulent, dirty little boy, and I’m really starting to not like Chelsea.
