In it to win it, but she won't

Hillary said in the Washington Post that she will stay in the race until the convention in Denver in August. She will try to use committees there to try to seat delegates from Florida (where all Democratic candidates had agreed to not contest) and Michigan (where Obama wasn’t even on the ballot). Nothing could be more damaging to the Democrats’ chances of winning The White House. I have tried not to join the throngs of bloggers out there constantly railing on the Clintons. I have failed. With this kind of material it is almost impossible.

The Clintons really are self-obsessed. Certainly, all candidates have to be a little self-obsessed to decide they are the best person to lead the only superpower left in the world, but Clintonian self-obsession, not to mention ignorance, is taking it to a whole new level. Hillary doesn’t seem to bat an eye at the numbers, proof that the youth are revolting (thank you, FIF) against the dynasties and proof that she can’t overcome Obama’s delegate lead. Surely, she has to notice the growing unrest in the ranks of Democrats. Politicians and leaders that have tried to stay out of this mess by not endorsing or showing preference are breaking down.

This sounds like an old adage now.

You can always leave it to a Clinton.
