    Distrubing

    Wath I find distrubing about this "bitter campaign, is the fact that Hillary is using it angist a member of her own party.

    Does anyone remember when Nancy Pelosi, first became speaker of the House the rigth wing repubian called her a San Farncisco latee Liberal. ONmnay occations they have called speaker Pelosi an eltist.

    The Clintons have spent years fund raising in San Francisco to the "so called" elitists and up the hill from where I live south of San Francisco. Yet she clearly emphasized "San Francisco" in her attacks against Obama because she knew knew these kinds of statements had been used before angainst Democrats. Her real goal was to give the republicans something to work with, so she can say to Super Delegates Obama is not electable. Ironically she has used "bitter" attack more than McCain.

    Hillary wanted to take this from the issues because Obama was coming up in the polls in PA. He shot back quickly, but now he needs to back off an get back to the issues.

    Up until last week, I thought well lets play this out until the end of the primaries, but my feeling right now is get her OUT before she ruins this it for the Democrats.
