Don’t care who the dem is, they will have my support, as with the last 3 generals. But, just like the last 2 elections, if it’s Clinton, I’ll be holding my nose.

Really? Where?

And nobody is going to be told to be VP. Suppose we get to the convention and Mr. Obama accepts the VP slot? Comes right out and says to the world, “I think this is what’s best.”

You’ll bail on him, right?

Somebody I used to read was always hammering on NARAL for not supporting Dem candidates, no matter what.

Anybody remember who that could have been?

Instapundit on Line two. Something about plagiarism.

Given the newly-found powers of the office of the Vice-President, I’m not sure “back of the bus” is applicable. Either one of the two in the VP office is gonna clean house and take names.

It’s the back of the bus.

(Here is where Sen. Clinton put John McCain ahead of Barack Obama)

I must have missed that. What are you referencing, exactly?

Do I favor his foreign policy? Healthcare policy? Global warming policy? Tax policy? No to all of those. Do we lose the Senate and House after Clinton gets 51% of the country to loathe her? Absolutely. In the big picture, I see Clinton as the worst possible position outcome for Democrats whether we ultimately win the presidency or not.

Sadly, the outcome of tonight, delegate counts aside, is that Mark Penn’s coronation strategy is still in play and will be until the end, particularly among white women and now, perhaps, organized labor. Really, wrap your head around that. Unions tonight backed the woman whose husband put NAFTA into effect in the first place and who has never even raised a finger to oppose it or improve it until now (thanks to pressure from Edwards and Obama). Why? Well, people, and especially Americans, have political ADD. If Clinton says she has been a longtime critic of NAFTA, why look any further than the past few months to test her credibility? The media also happily play along and let their research departments take the night off while cheerfully regurgitating any and all party spin. Her negative attacks ironically proving that voters act with their hearts and not their heads.

Still the kicker over the last few days, and for me, the moment that will forever tar Hillary as just the self serving bitch she is so often accused of being (very often unfairly, but not this time), was her ridiculous assertion that McCain’s experience makes him a better choice than Obama in the Fall. You simply do not, ever, go out of your way to boost your opponent. Ever. What happens if she gets the nomination? Now McCain can squash what has been her only playing card since day one. He has her on tape effectively calling him out as an equal. And if Obama gets the nod? McCain can play back that same tape and claim that even Obama’s own party doesn’t think he’s up for the job. Simply an unbelievable act of pure ego. Better that the party should go down in flames than Hillary not get her righteous due.

You know, I’m having a hard time reconciling the last seven years of singing the praises of “Big Dog” and pushing the notion of “Brand Democrat,” with this “back of the bus” rhetoric.

Who knows where we’re headed? Wherever it is, I hope we don’t hand the GOP a victory they don’t deserve and I hope the Democrats continue to build the incredible roster of leaders they’re offering the American people.

He’s not sitting in the back of the bus.
