It's been an ugly few days to say the least. The last set of primaries proved that negativity and fear still work. I was hoping that Obama would stay above the fray and stick to his message of hope and change, but alas, he was forced to defend himself and did so (somewhat) in kind.
In the meantime, HRC has said that McCain is better than Obama. An Obama surrogate called HRC a 'monster' and then resigned.
People are seriously pissed and despondent. And after Obama managed to energize a new generation of voters and reinvigorate some older ones, HRC is going to kill it for the sake of a personal power grab. She's going to fragment the Democratic party the way Bush fragmented the GOP. And she doesn't seem to care. Why are the party leaders allowing this? She's killing the party in the year that should be a slam dunk.
I can't vote for John McCain or any other Repub. I thought I could vote for HRC if it came down to that, and for the sake of the future of the Judiciary I might still have to somehow bring myself to do so. But it's getting harder and harder as she stoops lower and lower. I hope (see? - I still have some) that Obama can regroup his message and his people and get back to doing what he's best at: inspiring and uniting. But I also know that he's got to defend himself.
(Paging John Edwards! Please endorse Obama at your earliest convenience...)
