I Don't Mind Saying...
Posted By Bob Cesca
...Senator Clinton needs to get out of the way. Her name will still be on the ballot in the remaining states so everyone will have a chance to vote in this thing, but she just needs to step off. Every second spent talking about Senator Clinton: In or Out? And What About Michigan & Florida? is one less minute spent on how awful Senator McCain is. Speaking of how awful Senator McCain is... Watch this...
I just saw Howard Wolfson on Hardball along with some random clips of the Senator in West Virginia and, yes, they're crazy. What's worse is that the superdelegates clearly don't have to guts to settle this thing either, and I was wrong to expect they would. I've been wrong about liberal endorsements before.
But there was a period of time this week in which I thought we should go easy on the Clintons. I was wrong to think that they'd back away from the negative attacks and race-baiting. They haven't. Today we've heard Obama Can't Win the White Vote. That, of course, is a lie.
So the Clintons want to stick around and help the Republicans and the McCain campaign a little while (or a long while) longer. Fine. Then we have to fight back.

The teeming masses* are steamed over the open letter from Clinton to Obama re: seating the FL & MI delegates. You should read it - apparently she's got some good drugs at her campaign headquarters!

Her open letter is the final straw. It's got the stench of desperation dripping from it like putrid filth. I'm from Michigan and wanted to vote for Obama but that option was taken from me. But not by Barack Obama, for fuck's sake. By the dumbass "leaders" of the Democratic party in Michigan. They will pay a political price from many like me, I'm sure, who will be waiting a looooong time before we donate to Michigan Democrats again. I've written a letter to the editor of the Detroit Free Press. It's a small gesture but I feel powerless to do much. Sure I can blog about it and I will, but that's just preaching to the choir for the most part.
I can tell you this, though. The day he secures the nomination I will be calling his local HQ and getting on their volunteer list. I'll do whatever it takes to get him into the White House. I've never been more inspired by a candidate since I began voting 26 year ago (ouch).
