This is all a one way street: HRC attacking Obama in as dirty a fashion as GW, coupled with a contorted attempt to drag him into the mud. How do you feel about her manipulation (and Robt. Johnson's, and Billy Shaheen's and Gloria Steinem's, etc.) now?
We need to imagine what a Dem convention will be like if she squeeks to the nomination this way. It will make 1980 look like 1932. After that, I would expect she'd be hard pressed to win what should be a slam dunk general election. If by some like-kind political effort she barely won the general election with her 48+% negative rating, she will not be able to govern - she will have the shortest congressional coattails imaginable. No independents, no young people, and general discouragement among the party's usual constituents.
