Hillary destroying Democratic Party's momentum

Heading into the big 2006 vote, Democrats were fired up.  On election night, we saw just how upset independent and dissatisfied Republicans were with the Administration, and how fired up the progressive base was.  Even in 2007, when Bush's numbers on Iraq went up, the vast majority of voters preferred Democrats to Republicans.  We knew it would take a massive foul-up for the Democratic nominee to blow it in 2008.

Today, we are on the verge of blowing it.  Hillary's 'kitchen sink' strategy hurt not only Obama's chances, but helped keep John McCain out of the line of fire.  This is what Hillary's strategy has done for the Democratic Party:

Gallup Poll

48% - John McCain
45% - Hillary Clinton

47% - John McCain
43% - Barack Obama

Thanks a lot, Hillary.

Also, the media is pushing this preacher thing waaay too far. They've had no new info about it for a week, Obama gave a great speech that was honest and answered every argument, and yet they keep talking about it. The system is way rigged.

I agree. Unfortunately her backers don't have the historical knowledge of what failure to unite means in the general election. Republicans crossing over to vote for her in recent primaries are the only reason she is winning and she is using this corruption to help destroy the Democratic party. Her ego won't let her drop out in June even if party leaders ask her to.
