A politician of the American variety should try to temper his or her desire for personal power with an issue-by-issue calculation. It is not partisan to yield one’s imagined path in the interest of political savvy; Clinton claims to dislike nearly all McCain stands for, yet she continually undermines the Democratic Party’s chance at the White House.
Pundits have long noted that Clinton’s chances are dismal at best. They have even conjectured that she is ruining the Democratic Party’s chances in the general election. After Tuesday, Clinton would be hard-pressed to defend herself.
She won a state rich with white, rural voters (her best bet and Obama’s worst) by less than 2 percent, losing twice as many delegates as she gained in the same night.
Clinton is sure to continue making cries of “Full speed ahead!” – but that doesn’t mean she’s going anywhere. Her empty promises and pledges to support party nominees are hypocritical and pathetic.
