Hillary Is No Team Player

Published on August 27, 2008 By Island Dog In Democrat

Hillary made a decent speech last night at the DNC convention, but don’t believe for one second she is really behind Obama. Hillary thought this election would be handed to her, and this unknown, inexperienced Obama comes out and sweeps it from her. Do you think she’s going to sit by and let it go? I don’t. The reality is she is a far better candidate than Obama, and has a much better shot at beating McCain. However, her next chance is only 4 years away, and if she can remain a vocal critic of McCain, she will most likely have a much easier time next time.

This week is Obama’s week no doubt, and I’m sure he will get a bump in polls, but that won’t last no more than a week or so. Obama has been on a downhill path and his pick of Biden as VP only solidifies that. Democrats are already shocked that Obama isn’t ahead by 20 points in the polls because they believe he is “the one”, but once again, democrats don’t always reside in reality. Obama’s racism is showing, his inexperience is showing, and that will all lead to his downfall. Now I have no doubt Hillary will be a big part of a campaign against Obama, but how far they take it is yet to be seen.

I think Hillary has gone over and above what previous challengers for the nomination have done. Gary Hart didn't concede for over a month. Teddy Kennedy didn't concede to Jimmy Carter until the convention. Jerry Brown never even endorsed Bill Clinton. The same is true for Jesse Jackson with Dukakis. Somehow we want to act like Hillary is so evil and sowing disunity in the party when that just isn't true. It is not her place to tie her supporters up in a little bow and deliver their votes to Obama. Obama has to EARN their votes. He doesn't get them by default.

That's why her supporters will vote for McCain over this Obamanation of a candidate, to give Hillary a second shot at the office in a mere four years.

That's a very good point that I hope Clinton supporters won't overlook!

Personally, I think 4 years of McCain and 4 years of Hillary would be a good eight years. Both are competent politicians and everybody knows what they stand for. They represent competence and stability.

It's really up to the Clinton supporters now. Is beating the Republicans more important than having a competent female president? That is the choice they have to make.

If Hillary runs in four years she will win the election. After 12 years of Republican rule, everybody will want a Democrat again. And McCain won't run again so there won't be any hard feelings. (Plus the Republicans might put up a right-wing candidate nobody likes to show voters that they haven't become soft moderates like McCain.)

What do you want, Clinton supporters?

Do you want 8 years Obama or 4 years McCain and 4 years Clinton?

None of the above.

How about another 8 years of Bush?

It's not her job to deliver votes, Obama has to earn them.

Just found this in the Little Green Footballs forums about Hillary's supporters demonstrating in Denver(?):

It is so weird to see Dems marching without anyone naked, dressed as a furry animal, comparing Jews or Bush to Hitler, or with obvious communist symbols.

And they also look bathed, employed, and all their signs appear to be spelled correctly.
