Will Hillary Ruin the 2010 Elections for Democrats?

I am still banking on Barack Obama exhibiting the leadership he claims about "change" of politics. This is done by HIM uniting the party and performing the "cat-herding" exercize of pointing the delegates and the country toward more worthy discussion points. He would "like", I'm sure, to just make the Clintons go away. He also "knows", I'm sure, that he can easily lose everything for all of us on racism alone. (If not, Harold Ford Jr. of Tenessee can explain it to him--and, in fact, has already started doing so.)
Barack will (my prediction) seek soon to invite Hillary for the VP job. The two can certainly win, and he can probably win wihout her IF AND ONLY IF he garners her supporters by treating her very very well. This could all take a few weeks yet, and I really don't know if she'll accept or not.. We'll see. And how he proceeds is a true test of his statesmanship.

Obviously, Hilary is not an advocate of the win-win strategy so often preached by right thinking beings. She is egoistic, conceited, selfish, big-headed, boastful and power crazy. She will resort to bad-mouthing others, supporting people who cheat on her, changing policies to suit her agenda and doing anything to achieve her aim. Everyone can see through her greedy ambitions since day one and she will listen to no one despite the obvious signs of doom. She is just not the kind of leader Americans want for a President. It's time to throw in the towel and exit gracefully rather than face the bitter truth where she will end up being bruised and battered with little dignity and pride left. This is the beginning of the end for her.

When the radical extreme leftists are influencing the Democratic Party elites, there is no way the average Democratic voter will vote for the Democratic nominee. There is a BIG tent in the Democratic Party, if it does not moderate it's extremism, then Reagan Democrats will cross-over in droves. Obama's extreme pro-abortion positions does not appeal to the average pro-life Democrat. Many in this camp will be tempted to vote in favor of the pro-life candidate.

As a democrat in nc, I think its time for the super delegates to do something ?
And give the final super delegates vote to end this mess the clintons are putting on, even the democrats are sitting back and shaking there heads, What in the world is she trying to do. its time she backs the party and not her self :
She is tearing the party in two, Is it if she can't win then give it to the rep
Someone needs to step in and end this:

I don't remember the source, but I do remember the thought that HC knew she could not get the nomination, but she strongly believes that she deserves and should be President. So, her plan is to sabotage the Obama campaign and watch him be defeated. Then, go after the nomination in 4 years on a platform that Obama blew it and she could have beaten McCain. Possible? Sure' because BillHill have done and will do anything to have their way. Factual? Hopefully not.

HC cannot win period! Why would any Dem want ANOTHER president that LIES!!Let BO continue the fight VS McCain. That is what every dem should be fighting for!!!!

I am a democratic first and foremost, then I choose which nominee I will vote for, contribute money to, and support. In this case I started off supporting HC, until she and her campaign runners showed me that she took for granted that she had the nomination in the bag, and their tactics turned me into a BO supporter. I won't go into the dirty tactics that were used in the past, lets dwell on what can now be considered her "apparent" tactic now as it appears. "IF I CAN'T HAVE IT, YOU CAN'T EITHER"!!! That about sums it up as for why she and her "supporters" don't give it up and unite the democratic party. And please, please, please give up that mess about the Michigan and Florida delegates, popular vote, who is more electoral against McCain, etc. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. BO is the nominee!!!!!
