Hillary Clinton IS a monster.
It's become a ridiculous charade: what will each new day bring? Will Hillary be making a "heartfelt" gesture of calling for party unity and a positive campaign? Or will she be making some new out-of-left-field, unsubstantiated charge against the Obama campaign? Hillary, just stop. Not because I worry about the divisiveness of a protracted primary campaign, but because you are starting to act like the mean-spirited, tactless political schemester your opponents have always accused you of being.
Besides, you are becoming as annoying as André Rieu.

I was going to write something on this very topic today. I think if your only remaining play is to woo the superdelegates and subvert the will of the people, then you must stop. Now.
Wow - fast comment. While I was actually reviewing and editing the post.
But yes - that's part of it. And part of it is the whole: "Which Hillary will show up today" thing which - though I try to be skeptical of catchphrases - seems more and more applicable.
My post followed this latest charge that Obama is trying to get people not to vote. Whereupon Hillary assures viewers of a MT TV station,"That's just the opposite of what I believe. We want people to vote. I want the people of Montana to vote, don't you?"
Thanks, you ass. Thanks for not only clearing that up for us all, but for doing it in such a particularly non-insulting fashion.
Condesending Hillary:
"Unlike my opponent, I don't want the voters of Michigan and Florida disenfranchised." Well, that was the Democratic party, not Obama. And he removed his name from the ballot. You campaigned there anyway.
'Some of us know what we are going to do on Day One, some of us haven't thought that through." Too stupid to even comment on.
It goes on. Hillary's will to power is so amazing to watch, it's almost shocking that she's expecting Obama to implode.
THIS is what I am talking about. If you remember my comments to either this or Meth's blog I tried to capture my dislike for this person. She is a snake in sheep clothing.
Hillary would do whatever it takes to get to the top. I mean she would do ANYTHING, even if it is criminal.
I too was considering a post on this topic. It really is insulting, and playing into the stereotypes.
Jeez, she had a conversation with Richard Mellon Scaife, a man who spent millions slandering her and Bill through most of the nineties. Now he's pushing crap about Obama's pastor.
She clearly understands that her only way is a dark dark road. I think the next debate (in PA sometime in the next couple weeks) will take awkward to a new level. Even in the last one she was squirming to avoid saying what she'd been saying out on the stump.
And I suppose I can sort of understand the drive to go on, and I suspect that the dark road is a slippery slope. She's invested millions of her own money and many more millions of other people's money in what was once seen as a sure thing. Now that she's a ridiculous long shot there's probably a lot of pressure to swing for the fences. But yuck. She stands the chance of being reviled for the rest of her life, and would probably face primary challengers funded by a very agitated netroots.
Sad, and monstrous all at once.
I've heard some reasoning that the superdelegates are there to be wooed, and that they should be free to make any choice they wish to make. That Clinton pushes that fact, but blames Obama for the other DNC mandate to discard the Florida and Michigan primaries, is hypocritical.
If, indeed, Clinton wins by superdelegates, it'll make for fascinating and ugly television when the results are displayed at the Democratic convention. If she wins that way, she can only lose to McCain; I can't imagine any goodwill with mainstream voters after that.
If for some twist of bad luck she became the nominee, would you vote for McCain?
No, although I'm frustrated. It's tempting to get whiny. But as Bill Clinton has said, just relax.
TClog: No way! She may annoy me, but I agree with her policies 90% of the time. I'm all about what's going to be the best for America. And that's a Democrat in the White House.
Amen to that.
McCain is Insane 2008!
Camille Paglia on John McCain, in Salon:
"Who needs a weird old coot with a short fuse in the White House? This isn't a smart game plan for the war on terror."
