ITo the BO True Believers Hillary is evil, terrible and may in fact, be Satan's sister (Satan of course, is Dick Cheney) And Barack is "a good and decent man" just trying to change the world being maligned and dissed by The Clintons.
Horsefeathers.
I believe Barack Obama is an extraordinary and talented "POLITICIAN" and he has a bright future win or lose this time. I also believe Hillary Clinton is an extraordinarily gifted politician with real grit, tenacity and the experience the position requires. Moreover, she can win in the general and I do not believe Barack can.
I will actively support either against a third Bush term. But part of the Obama fatigue just now is the constant irrational whining mostly by Obama's enthusiastic supporters that Hillary should just step aside and let Barack have it "for the good of the party".
Please don't forget why we are so energized. This is not about either person or identity politics or whatever "en vogue" psychobabble is used by the media to explain why they always get it wrong this cycle. Further, this isn't the student council. Democrats should not be nearly as interested in "sending a message" by nominating Barack as a symbol as they should be looking at the best and tested winning strategy. For one, I am interested in clearing the GOP out of the House, Senate and The White House November 5th. The Electoral College doesn't add up to Obama winning and that would be a disgraceful waste of a once in 50 year opportunity to regain a solid working majority with an executive that works with the Congress for change.
This ain't Oprah! We need to win and if you want that as well, then Hillary is your girl.
