Wow, it's like seeing the Howard Dean scream played out bit by bit over time.
I am waiting, patiently, for Senator Clinton to resume her positive campaigns, to begin convincing Americans of her strengths rather than pointing at the flaws of her opponents.
What Clinton fails to grasp is that Democrats, Independents, and many Republicans --Americans-- are desperate for new politics. We yearn for a president with the moral authority given by a clear mandate from the people to put an end to the divisive and bitter political scene that is slowly by surely corroding this great nation. Obama is increasingly looking like the candidate who can step up to our lofty demands.
Let the Republicans attack him! Let them attack him for being honest and for learning from his mistakes. It is any Presidential candidate's wildest dream to have the most pointed criticism directed at his foolish behavior as a 16 year old boy.
Senator Clinton needs to stop this. She's not just jeopardizing her chances at the nomination, she's now risking her legacy as a formidable politician.
