If you think that Hillary has "too much baggage" or is otherwise "unelectable"...
Advertisements [?]
you may well have drunk the kool-aid. The right wing blowhards hate Hillary, true, but they hate her because she is a threat to them. I keep reading all sorts of posts of how we cannot have Hillary win the nomination, but I have news for those people, Hillary is well on the road to winning the nomination. She is proving herself to be formidable. She looks presidential and she is getting her message across. I, personally have a few reservations with Hillary but I would vote for her in a pinch. I wish she were more liberal, and I wish she had not voted in support of the war, but she did. I can deal with it and I refuse to allow the Republicans to dictate on whom the nominee should be for the Democratic Party.
Some DUer's seem to think that because her nomination would rile up the right that we should not support Hillary. Hillary deserves our support because she has shown that she can win elective office and has been able to weather all that has been thrown at her with a modicum of dignity. The old stories that the right wingers fling at her are, by now, OLD STORIES! The people that believe the Clinton's to be guilty of "murder" were never going to vote for her or him. Those people won't be voting for Obama or Edwards or any other Democrat either, so why let them dictate the nominee.
The poor souls who seem to fear Hillary as the nominee are misguided and at least some of them appear to be quite disingenuous. They have bought into the right wing spin and they refuse to admit that it has affected them. They appear to believe that we Democrats need to elect a candidate that is acceptable to the Republicans.
I, for one, am not delegating that privilege to the very people who have put America on the wrong course.
