24. I'm fine with half her supporters. Barack has expanded the electorate
such that this kind of blackmail that hearkens back to olde tyme politics is moot. Barack has created a new paradigm whereby the 2000/2004 templates Hillary keeps insisting on and trying to impose are obsolete.

In other words, he not only doesn't need her, she'd be a drag on the ticket. She is the antithesis of his message of change.

Besides that Hillary has lobbed some salvos that are, quite frankly, unforgivable. I was never going to reward her for her IWR and Kyl-Lieberman votes anyway; I sure as hell feel no love for her for the way she has run her campaign.

She's shit out luck and it's time for her supporters to pull up their socks and do what they're going to do with her no longer a contender. If her supporters are threatening 50%, so be it. I consider it gravy.
