Reply #44: I think she would have done exactly what Obama is doing.

She is friends with Lieberman also and is from the same wing of the party as we have found out, Obama is. That is why I did not support her in the primaries. I wasn't sure about Obama, there were a lot of things he said that raised questions, but he had the advantage of being an unknown with little record for people to go by.

One thing he had going for him as far as I was concerned, Rahm Emanuel and the DLC wing of the party stayed in the background until after the election. I know that Hillary had the support of the DLC.

I don't think it mattered to those behind the scenes, which of the two won. That's what democracy now means in the US. The candidates are pre-selected, and only those who can be depended on will reach the primaries and general election.

Imo, the only hope is in Congress. I don't think it matters who is in the WH, looks like that branch of the government has been completely co-opted. Which is why I would support Obama in 2010 because we'll get a few crumbs from him at least, they have to do that to keep up the appearance of a two party system. But if Congress has a majority of real Democrats, it would be much more difficult for whoever the president is, to ignore the Democratic Wing of the party they way he can now.
