Hillary is a monster!
There are so many things wrong with this article, I don't know where to begin.
First of all, aren't you the guy who wrote a piece for Salon after the Texas and Ohio primaries saying that a protracted battle was good for the Democratic party, that it would get them publicity and get McCain ignored therefore making them that much stronger? You were wrong then and you're still wrong.
Bill Richardson's endorsement was overdue and welcome. The real self-interested parties in this race are the superdelegates who have not made a committment yet. They are patiently waiting on the sidelines, hedging their bets, and hoping to play a juicy role as deal brokers at the 11th hour. What they don't realize is that in the meantime Hillary Clinton is going to piss away their chances of taking back the White House. She and her husband have all but endorsed McCain for president. Hillary's new motto is "If not me then McCain." Witness her husband's attempt to cast dispersions on Obama's "patriotism" this past weekend. Straight out of the Republican play book.
We all know Clinton has no way of pulling this off except the shady way and the fact that she's sticking with it in hopes that the American people simply won't mind or that we'll look the other way when that ugly moment comes--she's got another thing coming to her.
Why don't more superdelegates grow some balls and make a decision. The Democratic nominating system is screwed up but the party elders can use their influence and their votes to fix it if only they weren't such a bunch of panzies.
Let's put an end to this thing!
