Earlier, Uncle Fester mentioned that some might see picking Hillary as capitulation.
Capitulation to who, half the Democratic party?
So is that so frickin' bad?
Who should be capitulated to if not her supporters? Capitulate to Iowans so they continue to feel self-important about starting the Obama train? Capitulate to Virginians? Who should Obama capitulate to instead of half the Democratic party?
Just wondering...
BTW, Shapiro's mention of the angry-left connects well with many LW's here that have laid out scurrilous character slurs at Hillary throughout even though their horse won...not classy folks. Actually, the real capitulation has been from the left (under the psuedonym "progressive"). They capitulated to decade-old GOP Hillary hate talk: she's divisive, phony, negative baggage and untrustworthy.
They didn't even think of it themselves, they just took old slurs and ran with it. So next time I hear from "progressives" that republicans can't tell the truth, I'll sit back and say, "apparently except when they talk about the Clintons!". Because the left is more than happy to run with that ball as if republicans are speaking truth to power. Very disturbing.
Obama supporters on here should remember that he only won by a slim amount of delegates and still needs superdelegates to actually get the nomination. So the arrogance and anger is a bit troubling here. Reach out a hand why don'chya, and you'll find one there ready to grab it. But your current style is keeping others at bay.
