She's Not as Bad as Her Republican Detractors Think
. . . but she's much worse than I thought she could be. I'm so, so sad that I have an ever growing disdain for Ms. Clinton and surprised that she has been so thickheaded about how to finally sell herself. After showing her softer self in New Hampshire and winning, why did she then take a negative tack against Obama for more than 3 months, particularly after seeing her own poll numbers go down? Sure, negativity worked to bring down the other candidate, but she certainly has done herself no favors.
Imagine if she had taken the high road and tried to show her positives rather than highlighting Obama's negatives. Imagine that we could have had 4 solid months with two very strong candidates showing off to the American public how great they were, while John McCain was forced to wait in the wings.
But alas, reality-- McCain is ahead in most polls above either candidate. The media is in love with McCain and shows no signs of ending the lovefest.
We have at least 2 more months of this crap. I am discouraged. I am depressed. After continuous sniping by the candidates and after the most widely viewed debate focused solely on Republican talking points, I have little hope that Democrats will win the November presidential race.
I need a drink.
