  Outrageous

  I started an Edwards supporter, and in the MA primary voted for Obama. As soon as I left the polling place I experienced buyer's remorse. That feeling sure has faded over the past few months. Hillary Clinton is a very smart politician, and she slipped up by saying what she said -- it revealed the desperation of her campaign and herself -- first, she lied about her husband's 1992 campaign still being contested in June, when the contest was over in April, and then she mentioned Kennedy's assassination, in the context of suggesting "anything might happen," the clear implication being that her hopes rest on Obama's death. Her slip was saying what she was thinking. It is truly disgusting.

  For a long time the Clinton's have been complaining about people trying to "force them out of the race." That is the name of the game, for crying out loud, and it is exactly what Bill Clinton did in 1992 -- he put enormous pressure on Tsongas and Brown to give it up, and went at the super delegates with threats, as well as favors. Their hypocrisy and lying at this point is truly in the tradition of Atwater and Rove, and that GOP slimeball who helped them triangulate their way to reelection. I once thought that the Clintons did what they did because they had to in the political environment they found themselves in. This campaign reveals that they have always been what they have been, manipulative narcissists who only care about their own privilege. Walsh is simply a tool for them, unable to see what they are.
