I really, really hate this.

I never saw Hillary as either a hero or a villain. I've always thought she ws an extraordinarily capable woman, with flaws, like all mortals.
I appreciated her accompshment in the primaries and the legacy of that, but I never saw her as a superhero who could save the universe.

Now, that some of her supporters are intent on keeping the primaries going, with vengeancea and vehemence, It's eroding her image and her legacy.
Her name is beginning to symbolize strife and animosity, even though she didn't personally engineer that. I was shocked to read a comment wondering if she could be behind this mess, after all.

That isn't what I wished for her future. Having survived the Republican attack machine, it's really tragic to see her become, once again, such a controversial and polarizing figure.
That her own supporters are doing this to her, is tragic.

Some folks here are seem pretty giddy to discover that Obama might actually be (gasp) a politician! If so then I reckon he'll have that in common with Kennedy, Reagan, FDR, and a host of other presidents. Shocking no? ;-)

"This guy will say or do anything to get elected."

Replace 'guy' with 'hillary', and you'd be right.

". . . a practical politician who will disappoint some of them by negotiating his way through campaign finance, FISA, gun control and other minefields on the path to the presidency."

Translation: This guy will say or do anything to get elected.

More like the time between now and November is war time...

I particularly liked the end of the kids' party where Obama went to give Hillary one last bear hug and she pulled back, turned her back squarely on him and briskly walked off the stage and into the throng of admirers; leaving Obama alone on stage literally with his outstretched arms still in midair looking jilted and confused as he fumbled to start waving to people in the crowd who were preoccupied with Hillary..

They said to pay attention to body language. There's your body language. Nevermind all the hype that went before it, the last impression Clinton left us with is the one we should watch the most..

Yes, it's time to look at Obama now really hard because the GOP has taken its kid-gloves off. The very same Media machine that propped him up to win against the GOPs real enemy, strong-economy Clinton, will now turn on him like bad beef.

Look for his mysteriously large campaign contributions to drop off suddenly as well.. I nearly fell off my chair laughing when Obama refused public funds for his campaign...thinking the original thrust was genuine and would keep going...lol...

Obama and the DNC are gonna learn real fast where all the gravy really came from. Now they have their stooge and the real threat defeated, things are going to get crystal clear what the "Obama sensation" was all propped up by..

The Obama trap..

This is an excellent example of how false impresiions are born on the Internet and in the media and then seep into the general population.
The evidence cited is that of people with strong opinions who advcoate by airing them publically. They are not necessarily the opinions of the average voter, but they will affect the average voter eventually.

If we had a shred of true journalism left, there would be a news article somewhere, availabe for propogation on the Internet, that would reflect some no-name, no-blog average voters.
Instead, its pundiry depending on other punditry, aggrandizing its own echo chamber.

To be clear: I don't fault this post.
I fault the dearth of unhyped, non -advocacy, plain old fahioned information.
