Throw in the towel, Senator
It isn't her fanciful imagination about sniper fire, or any of the other piddling mistakes and misstatements she and her henchmen have made. It isn't her gender; in fact I'd prefer a female President. But it is her supporters, it is the large number of backhanded racial slurs that have emanated from her camp (although usually not directly), and whipping her potential supporters, but most of all the right wing, into an Anti-Obama frenzy. I think Obama is indeed pretty special. Do I think he walks on water like most of the Obamanites? Not so much. But he is the real deal.
In recent polls, John McCain taking on either Obama or Clinton gives them a serious ass-whuppin'. I am even sick of seeing Bill Clinton, a person I have *mostly* always admired. And even Chelsea was disgusting last night.
Give it up Hillary. The people may not have spoken with the deafening roar we'd hoped, but they have spoken. Do you want to be VP? Great. Otherwise, as they say, lead, follow, or get out of the way (preferably the latter). Sure you could hope for a great procedural dogfight at the convention, and maybe you could win the nomination. In the end, that will only leave us with a McCan presidency.
It's me and Barack from here on in. It's time. "Hurry up please, it's time."

Rumbling among Supers grows louder: Last night Jack B and today Senator Leahy.
ReplyDeleteMy gripe with the Clinton campaign has long been for its vanity and ineptness. They resorted to nastiness and double talk, I mean lying, when they woke up to the fact that it wasn't going to be the cakewalk they had advertized. They got out hustled by this upstart at every turn. It's been time for awhile. Leave already.
Oh and my favorite is the campaign flaks' assertion that "nobody has done more to build the Dem Party than the Clintons", well, if you don't count senate, house and guv seats.
