The longer this goes on, the worse Clinton looks. To me, she comes across as insincere and nasty. One minute she is talking about what an honour it is to be sharing the stage with Obama, then she is saying shame on him. She will assume any attitude that she thinks will play with the audience, and only manages to convince the audience that she cannot be believed or trusted. As Maureen Dowd recently wrote:
"After saying she found her 'voice' in New Hampshire, she has turned into Sybil. We’ve had Experienced Hillary, Soft Hillary, Hard Hillary, Misty Hillary, Sarcastic Hillary, Joined-at-the-Hip-to-Bill Hillary, Her-Own-Person-Who-Just-Happens-to-Be-Married-to-a-Former-President Hillary, It’s-My-Turn Hillary, Cuddly Hillary, Let’s-Get-Down-in-the-Dirt-and-Fight-Like-Dogs Hillary."
Clinton wants to break the party rules by seating Michigan and Florida delegates. If she succeeded in getting the nomination by this route, then she would split the party, alienate the black vote, and guarantee that the Republicans win in November. But her ambition blinds her to the realities; she can't see beyond her own self interest.
The longer the debate goes on, the more nonsense we hear from her and her campaign --- about plagiarism, Farrakkan, Obama not supporting abortion rights and so on. I think she is in a hole and has been digging herself in deeper for the last 2 months. Time to call a halt.
