Democratic, or Republican-lite?


(Via Eschaton)
Clinton can stay in the campaign as long as she likes, but I do wish she'd have focused her fire on McCain, instead of arguing that he's so awesome that Obama couldn't beat him.
This is exactly right, and one of the reasons I really have a HUGE problem with Clinton (other that James Carville's slimy presence.) She has made it sound at times as if she is campaigning for McCain, and that if she doesn't get the nomination the voters should support him. What the fuck kind of message is that?

We need a Democrat who is not afraid to stand for Democratic and progressive ideals, even when it may cost the votes of a few bigots or the cprporate overlords. Obama may not be perfect in this regard, but he make Hilary look positively reactionary.
