My main concern: Large turn out in Nov. by R's because of their intense
hatred of Clinton,and we lose House and Senate seats.

Even more worrisome, all of this bashing and feeding the R's ads to play back will hurt badly .

The convention/MI/FL settlement does not have a win-win ending and will result in dispirited Democratic voters. In Obama's case, if he loses the nomination, we would lose a lot of energy and enthusiasm of people who filled up arenas and worked hard for him. In Clinton's case, we would have a big loss of energy and enthusiasm.

1. They're bragging about interfering in TX and OH. We're doomed if she's the nominee.

2. I'll vote "present" if she's the nom.
and wait for 2012 and I know I'm not alone. I personally don't know any Clinton supporters. In my circles anyway most will stay home.

4. Apathy will grow
if she's the nominee and the DLC and pubs will run amok. They want people to stop paying attention.

8. This is a candidate who has an extremely high unfavorable rating
not just from Republicans, but from Indies and yes, even Democrats. This is why she will not and will never win a General Election.

Part of me is tempted to just say fuck it and let her have the nomination--once she loses we'll be done with her and won't have to put up with her in 2012. The other part of me wants to fight tooth and nail for Obama so we actually have a chance of WINNING in November. Hillary is a losing bet for us.
