... well, suppose have no choice but to admit my support for Hillary was misplaced - suggestions that she was the better candidate are certainly undermined by the horrible campaign she ran. She had final say on people and tactics so blame must go to her. Just read that her former campaign manager, Penn, as recently as a year ago didn't even know that delegates in California would be apportioned according to proportional allocation - that's bad. It would seem that the irrationality of Obama's rise, which certainly troubles me, troubled them to the point of becoming irrational themselves. To me, while she was the front runner, she looked to have the best skill set for the job as it stands now; whereas Obama seems entirely in over his head. But the left really dislikes the Clintons, and given their confused and at times surely response to the Barack challenge it's hard to completely fault them for that enmity. Although I fault them all the same - Obama won't lose as badly as McGovern did but this election should have been a slam dunk for the democrats so a loss here would no doubt seem as bad. [and if he doesn't lose?] If he wins it will be even worse.
