Clinton Supporters

Leave something to be desired.

Ok, Hillary herself is cool. But her supporters ... I have met some of them and so far I'm not impressed. Either they are voting for her simply because she's a woman, or they're going for some kind of safe play liberal ideal - or they're just .. I dont know.

Let me give you an example. A whole bunch of them ganged up on the Texas democratic party to try to get them to keep from naming their delegates - because as soon as they did, the press would be free to run a story showing Obama actually won more delegates in Texas than she did..?

Then they wrote a formal letter to the delegates and party leaders, that tried to convince delegates from the states, to vote for them instead of the person that they were sent to vote for? Seriously, can you imagine what it would be like - if your state voted for one guy - and then when the Convention ran, the delegates turned around and voted for someone else?

They're pretty humorless as well. There was an SNL parody of Clintons campaign to try to cast Obama as some kind of greenhorn - the one where Obama calls Hillary in the middle of the night and says "What can I do - I .. just got a phone call.. its about national security ,and I'm in just a blind - unreasoning panic".

Alot of them that I know, actually took that parody as satire directed against Obama himself and not Clinton, even though at the time Clinton was running ads that basically ran the table on the issue.

I mean, by and large - with a few exceptions - Bitch PhD for one, most clinton supporters are kind of boring people. Needless to say a Network World/ Rasmussen poll showed that IT people are going 43% more to Obama than Clinton (who got 17% of the demographic).

If Clinton doesn't place strong in Pennsylvania, I think she should withdraw. Free these people up so that they can get back to their normal lives again. Nothing wrong with Hillary. She will make a great Vice President. .. .. but the supporters have to go.

YOU think she should withdraw. Yes, everyone, every little cell in the system, has an opinion.

But she's a bit savvier than all of that. Here's her strategy: Obama wins "badly" in the primary, loses the election and, finally, in 2012, she faces (President) McCain in the general election.
