Re: Hillary Clinton and the Legacy of Bill (1.00 / 1)

Honestly at this point I don't see either democrat winning.  I think we have already snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  The Clinton campaign has been saying that Obama's victories and supporters "don't matter" and giving them good reason to stay home if she somehow gets the nomination.  The Obama campaign has somehow perceived to be slighting the Clinton legacy (which btw, it would be absolutely, positively out of line for President Clinton to be in the middle of this race if it was anyone else) and all the DLC democrats will be telling the "middle ground" to stay away.

This whole thing has created huge rifts in the democratic party after the kitchen sink came out.  There is pretty much no way to put humpty dumpty back together again.

No one can see the future that precisely.


The choice is simple: A President who voted for the worst of Bush's odius agenda, or one who didn't.

"I don't see" is not the same thing as "this is what is going to happen...bank on it"

Just pointing that what you don't see isn't necessarily not there.

Yesterday this individual, Kasjogren, said it's ok to call people white trash. Today he/she can see the future equally well as God. One can only shutter to think about what tomorrow may bring.

I said my own family used the term my whole life as a joke.  And I said this was my opinion.

Would you like to troll me some more?  On Sunday I let in 4 goals playing keeper in my soccer league.  I didn't finish all my yard work this weekend either.  Oh, I often go three days in between shaving.

So there is some more information for you to personally troll me with.  Gotta love Clintonian politics.

The split was a foregone conclusion (none / 0)

When Obama started winning and gaining more support, it was apparent to all - and mostly to dancing-in-the-streets Republicans - that the Democratic party was facing a HUGE rift.  

African Americans have voted Democrat by and large - and for good reason.  When you have Republican "greats" like the lauded Ronald Reagan making snide crappy remarks about welfare queens and setting out to gain the south - the Reagan Democrats - based on racial division, what party was the logical party for African Americans AND for those who sought equality for all?

I don't know if Obama knew that he was going to be as appealing as he is to so MANY voters, but he's run a great campaign and scored big.  I disagree that HRC should step aside and Obama says the same.

We have to trust our party that we WILL come together when the primary is over.

BUT - keep this in mind as well.  The American public is not wild about a Congress AND the Presidency all of one party.  So with Republicans leaving Congress in droves - like rats jumping ship - leaving Democrats to clean up the absolute MESS (and take the blame), this helps to position McCain for a win - simply to balance Congress.
