UPDATE: The Clinton supporters smell blood in the Bill Ayers story and there may be more there than we know.
Eleanor Clift has seen the first shivers in the Obama edifice in her piece in Newsweek. Could this be the first day of the end of Ozymandias ? Hillary’s wrath will be terrible to behold if she wins. I still don’t think she can beat McCain without the black vote and I don’t see how she gets it. Still, she looks like a hell of a lot more competent president than Obama would be. President Hillary with a wounded and bleeding Democratic Party is better than the Obama juggernaught to socialism.
Be careful what you wish for, Dr. K. Obama doesn’t care about much but being liked.
Like the Battlestar Galactica logo: she has a plan.
She knows what is best for us. Whether we like it or not.
And as Clift points out, she is not above retribution. There is an old saying about enemies: either learn to love them or utterly destroy them. HRC understands the last half of that equation.
Much as I do not care for many of McCain’s positions on issues, he is several sigmas better than either BO or HRC. I hope that the conservative core understands that. There is a weird attempt by some conservatives to make HRC appear that way.
I am keeping my eye on the ball: Supreme Court appointments and the War on Terror.
I also think HRC will wrest the nomination away from BO, too. So perhaps the conservative “sit this one out” issue will be balanced by the anger of a “cheated” Black vote. But who knows what will happen?
We often were told that polls showed a generic Democrat would beat any particular Republican, but a particular Democrat would not win. In Obama, for a while, we had the ‘generic’ Democrat. Alas, the details are coming out, and he is rapidly becoming a particular Democrat that can’t win.

There is enough time between the convention and the election for the rioters to simmer down and regain the Pavlovian reflex of pulling the “D”.
If Hillary manages to get the nomination, I wonder if the wisdom will be that she was strong, or that Obama was too weak?
