If Hillary keeps it up, she will cause a permanent schism in the Party
And maybe it will finally fracture into its 2 opposite wings - the DINOS and DLCs and the true Liberal and Progressive wing. Personally, I think perhaps maybe it is time for that to happen. I am tired of being taken for granted while my party helps to flush the Constitution down the toilet and does NOTHING while the corporatists take over and pick all of our pockets.

5. Right. She's playing chicken. She wants Obama to be the one with integrity
(since she has none) and do the "right" thing in her book. Which is to cede the contest to her even though she has fewer votes. Does she remind you of anyone...?

3. Agreed, she may have already done it
but I vote based on certain principles and values - someone having a (D) next to their name is not enough. It was her husband that caused me to resign from my local DCC and register as an independent.

4. You may have mistaken her for someone who cares.
She doesn't.

6. Oh please
yeah, it's all Hillary doing it herself. Obama supporters (like yourself) and their nasty, obnoxious hate they throw at her and her supporters have absolutely nothing to do with it, right?

7. She chose to do a REPEAT PERFORMANCE of holding McCain over Obama today
saying that they (she and McCain) had "crossed the threshold" of Commander in Chief criteria. Mother of Pearl! Is she so clueless that she does not realize that she is driving fully HALF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY screaming away from her with this insane, vainglorious drivel?

8. If YOU keep it up....maybe
Clinton and Obama are politicians. They know how the game is played.

9. In that case, Hillary can't win.
If she does, there is the fracture, as you correctly described (due to folks like us who routinely get ignored).

If she doesn't, there will be a period of anger etc. at the way the "last days' were handled.

It's a no win proposition.

If she loses, watch for someone to mount a real primary challenge against her next time around.
