Yes, oblivion
The DNC won't always be run by such a coward. Probably won't after November. And the next guy (or girl) probably won't be very happy about the damage done to the party in the last few months. So without the backing of the DNC it's sorry, Hillary, no more Senate seat for you. No VP, no presidential campaigns.
What's truly bizzare is how she keeps playing this as a democracy in action thing. As if staying in and hoping that the super delegates throw their votes your way has anything to do with democracy. Claiming victory in Florida when their was no real election here and our 2 most populous counties (which dictate every election) hated her husband with a passion and there is no reason at all to think we like her any better. And supposedly intelligent people support this.
The Democratic party is a bunch of fucking idiots. After beating the worst president in our history with a nearly unelectable candidate and having that victory stolen from them, what do they do? They find an even more unelectable candidate to run against him after 4 years of what we thought at the time was total disaster and lose. And now, when they have 2 candidates that actually are electable in spite of their race or gender because we now have a much better idea of what total disaster looks like, they let someone with no chance of winning to continue to run for no other reason than she wants to win at any cost. So they will, most likely, lose again.
Do they not understand what's at stake here? Do they really think we can survive 4 or 8 more years of what we've had for the last 7? Do they actually give a shit about the future of this country?
Hillary is crazy. She has started to make Bush look rational. Her threats against the Middle East are the definition of insanity. Her insistance on bashing Obama at every opportunity proves that she doesn't care about this country or it's people, she only cares about winning and power. Just like Bush.
If she was actually running on a platform, if she was presenting intelligent, well thought out reasons why she is the better candidate, the better leader, I could respect that. But that's not what she's doing. Her entire campaign now consists of proposals with no chance of succeeding, tax breaks that she can't implement, outrageous threats against sovereign nations, and cheap shots at her opponent.
If it comes down to a choice between her and McCain, what's the difference? What is there to choose from between them? If it comes down to that, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do. I can't vote for McCain, and I can't vote for Hillary.
Dark days ahead.
