Also, I can’t help but hate Saturday Night Live now.They have been so frightfully biased to her and skewing the debatge re-enactments to the point of a 180 degree flip. Both times they made her seem persecuted, and clearly she was not. She just wants more time, like how she used to get in the begining of the debates, remember when CNN was loving her as if she was the president, but now she is not getting it. They made Obama sound like a retarded Yogi bear who had no opinion or intelligence, which is completely false! And then Hillary went on the show and somehow people like her now. She is the same woman she was before.

I hope that the next primaries will be different.

If Obama is as unqualified for president as Hillary contends, then why would she consider being his running mate? It completely undercuts her arguments. She would be joining a team that she has no confidence in.

I’ve been tooling around the blogs for the last couple of hours, looking for something that really duplicated my feelings about last night. So far, this post hits all of the main points, for me.

I’ve seen people I normally respect and agree with miss the point entirely and call for calm and dismiss any worry about the developments of last night and today. I can’t believe anyone not completely in the Hillary tank could view these developments with anything but dismay.

I feel presonally far from sanguine at the prospect of a candidate with no realistic chance of getting the nomination selfishly pressing on using the tactics of, and drawing support from, people I am completely opposed to.

We’ve seen an explosion of enthusiasm on the progressive side of the equation this year unlike anything I can remember personally, and yet here they are, the same crew that backed her husband as he jettisoned large parts of the party’s identity in an attempt to stay in office, ready to throw this all away for the same reason.Typical Clintonian short sightedness.

I have doubts it will work. If anything, I think any such efforts would likely push the superdelegates more towards Obama’s camp, but if she has to pull something like that simply to get the nomination, it will be a slow motion disaster for the party in the long term. Even if she wins, many people newly brought into the process will walk away badly disillusioned.

The impact on the African American voters will be dreadful, as well. Absent a major ideological chage, the Republican party isn’t going to be welcoming them in any large numbers anytime soon, but if they lose faith in the processes of the Democrats, it will hurt us, and them, well into the future.
