We all know that the mathematical delegate situation is bleak for Hillary Clinton, and has been since for some time now.  And though Obama supporters were hoping to wrap things up on 03/04, I think many of us more patient, even-keeled Obama fans were not too concerned or upset about Hillary continuing on with her long-shot campaign - SO LONG - as her candidacy was good for the long term health of the Democratic Party.  After all, a robust, competitive campaign that focused on issues important to Democrats would electrify the base for the GE while educating and thereby creating a new generation of Democratic voters.  And not to mention, the increased visibility of Democrats would raise tons of cash in the process.  "Go, Hillary", right?

Well after her last two "McCain lovefests", that's all over.  Hillary has officially jumped the shark.

It's now clear that the interests of the Democratic Party take a back seat to her own personal ambition.  Her new strategy is what I would call the "Win - Or Take Him Down With Me" strategy.  Or maybe the "Hillary in 2012" strategy.  

How else can you explain a Democratic presidential candidate using her campaign, not to simply promote herself and criticize her Democratic opponent - but for all intents and purposes ENDORSING THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE OVER HER DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT!!!  Not once, mind you.  This wasn't a one-time gaffe or slip-up.  This is clearly a calculated STRATEGY!

half-snark  Maybe Mark Penn has hypnotized or drugged her, and is using her to ensure that his other client who's running for president can win.  I mean, the future of his profits depend on not having BOTH of his clients go down in flames, right?  That MUST BE it.  half-snark  Who knows?  

But please, somebody - get the hook!  Somebody - pull the plug!  She's KILLING us out there!  

SuperDelegates - ARE YOU LISTENING????

True Democrats - ARE YOU LISTENING????
