Senator Clinton Wins Nothing
Senator Clinton campaigned in Florida but told Keith Olbermann that she complied with the Democratic pledge to stay out. She's run a very dishonest campaign so far, parsing words and sending out her ex-president husband to act as an unofficial running mate -- speaking in coded race-baiting soundbytes.
Now she's claiming "victory" in Florida in a desperate ploy to regain some momentum after losing in a landslide in South Carolina. AND, because she's desperate, she's planning to actively lobby the party to get the delegates from Florida and Michigan seated at the convention, should it come down to it. Let's be honest, if there was an "R-NY" after her name, we would destroy her dishonest tactics (say nothing of, say, a Republican ex-president running as a de facto running mate).
So... Senator Clinton people, please tell me why we should support this kind of murky campaigning and cynical politics over the positive message of the Obama campaign.
Seriously. If it's cool to break the rules then claim victory in an uncontested competition, the Giants ought to just show up at U of P Stadium on Saturday and celebrate their victory. It'll be way easier, but equally cheap and pathetic.

She's skating on the ethical edge however if she IS the Democratic candidate, I have no choice but to support her.
A Repig in the White House in 2009 is simply unacceptable to the survival of humanity.

I might be jinxing, but I can't see a Republican winning at all. There is just nothing for even the conservatives to be excited about on their ticket. There's a great deal of enthusiasm for Obama, Clinton and even Edwards.
I don't know that I could vote for Hillary Clinton. We all turned out in record numbers to put Democrats in control of both Houses and look what we've gotten for our efforts. A timid Congress afraid to challenge an unpopular President and a rotting-from-the-inside-out Republican Party. I fear we'll blow the doors off this election, put HRC in the White House, and get much of the same. A calculating Executive Branch that is looking ahead to the next election rather than looking out for us right now.
Here's a challenge, just for fun. We could all probably name a dozen Democrats that would love to be Barack Obabma's VP candidate. Can we think of anyone that would like to play second fiddle to Hillary Clinton?
