Hillary can do no right
If she loses, she's toast, dead, buried, a has-been hack.
If she wins, it's a "beauty contest" and it "doesn't really count."
This whole thing seems to reveal a streak of misogyny as deep as the Marianas Trench, at least on the part of our corporate media. There's an almost-gleeful undertone when she struggles and a profound unwillingness to give her credit when she succeeds.
Hillary wasn't my first choice, by a long shot. I'd have preferred Gore or Clark. However, of those candidates in the race, she seems the most competent, the most experienced and the best able to deal with the Republican hate machine.
If Obama gets the nomination, I will certainly vote for him. I don't hate him. I'm concerned about the shortness of his resume and how he will or would deal when the full fervor of the Republican Hate Machine is unleashed at him - as they traditionally do on any Democrat.
Interesting times.
