I keep seeing threads about how Hillary knows she can't win and is only in this to destroy Obama, or worse yet, the entire party. Threads that say she should drop out. Threads calling on the superdelegates to "end this" by flooding toward Obama.

I just have to say...Hillary is not in this to destroy Obama, or the party. She is in this to win. She may, or she may fall short. We will see.

I really don't get the outrage over allowing the process to play itself out. Whoever is going to win will win. We have a system for a reason. We have a schedule of primaries for a reason. We have a finish-line in the form of a required number of delegates to reach in order to win for a reason. And that is a line neither candidate has yet crossed.

We're involving record numbers of voters. We're drawing new people into the party. I think it's great that the country is focused on the Dem primary at this point. McCain is marginalized and we have the mic.

And I think it's great we're giving all 50 states a say in who the next president might be. (Well. only 48 as of now, but that's another threaad)

It's democracy in action. If it is what we are all about, then I don't see why we should fear it.
