You know, your brand of cynicism is basically the same worthless dreck that has been shoved down voters throats for decades.
The basic ideology of "It isn't going to change so why bother?" that leads to nothing changing. The message which keeps liberals home and America deadlocked in a two party state where people don't so much vote for someone as against someone else, where what matters isn't the greater good, but the lesser evil.
It is pissing on the ideal of hope in the name of the ideal of despair, and then smugly patting yourself on the back when things continue to go wrong.
And that is what Hillary offers the Democrats - just another lesser evil. At least some Democrats feel comfortable voting FOR Obama, if it comes down to Clinton versus McCain? It will be a vote against McCain just like a vote for Kerry was against Bush.
