How ironic that now HRC clings to the "electability" argument - when it was she, from the beginning, that gave most Democrats the shivers about her chances -- given her high negatives and her ongoing vulnerability to the 'publican attack machine, an electoral disaster was looming.

Yes, for a while she looked like the "inevitable" nominee, and given the Clinton machine grip on the levers of party power, Joe Biden, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson couldn't get any real traction. Still most Democrats dreaded a Billary candidacy - and really felt we needed to end the lamentable drift to dynasty in American politics.

Obama was the right man at the right time - and for most Democrats he came to represent the alternative we were most in search for. I.e., he was the perfect candidate to tap into the deep feelings of Clinton fatigue, dread, and nausea we were facing with Hillary as the candidate.

He also caught the Clintons off guard -- and Iowa was the spark that exposed their deep vulnerability.

Coupled with management chaos in the Clinton camp - and an uncanny ability to shoot themselves in the foot, repeatedly, it seems very, very strange that Hillary is now pushing electability. True, in some very recent polls she shaves some some points away from Barack in a matchup with McCain, but really only due to the "sore loser" effect she is encouraging among her fanatic supporters.

Rather than cling to straws, the Clintons would be better off re-examining themselves and trying to understand where they went wrong. Hint: Overconfidence, Pride, Incompetence, Vengence, Sense of Entitlement, Blatant Errors, Delusional Thinking, and finally, Obvious Pandering and Desperation.

There is great wisdom in the Democratic Party -- and it has saved us from the disaster of another Clinton candidacy.

It's time to end the "Deathwatch" -- It's Over. Thank God.

It will not be over until HRC and her idiot supporters hand the White House--and the Supreme Court--over to John McCain in November.

I am inclined to agree, her supporters seem hell-bent on seeing Obama lose so that she can make another run in four years. But you know, they aren't very smart. There is something called "pay-back". If that happens (Obama loses), Clinton's career is finished...even in the Senate. Her supporters are really destroying her future career aspirations when they refuse to vote for Obama. But then again, who ever said they were especially bright.

Agreed! I live in NYS and voted for her for the Senate in 2000, and 2006, plus in the 2008 primary. Now I will never vote for her again because I am so offended by her behavior.

Comparing civil rights marchers getting beaten in Selma to Florida voters in an unsanctioned primary is an insult to all African Americans.

A person can win by losing gracefully. HRC will lose this nomination and probably will lose the 2012 senate race (if she chooses to run) she's pissed off too many African Americans & I doubt she can win without them in New York then.
