I think Hillary is showing really bad judgment by prolonging the contest and dividing her party. She also showed poor judgment when she voted for the Iraq war, but at least she has the excuse of having received faulty intelligence from the administration (although I think she voted for the war b/c that was the way the wind was blowing after 9/11 and she didn’t want to alienate would-be voters).
But there’s no excuse now, she has all the facts. If she shows this bad judgment as a candidate, what can we expect of her if she ever becomes president? If, say, Obama loses in November, she could be a natural candidate in 2012. But her actions are not only hurting her party, they are hurting her political career as well.

I’m guessing Obama will go with Wes Clark, because:– Military strength to combat McCain’s only plus.
– He’s a Hillary supporter – unify the party.
– He ran in ’04, people already kinda know about him.
– He’s a handsome white dude (calm the nerves of the people afraid to vote for an ‘angry black muslim america-hater’).I like that possibility. I hope you are right. He could be to Obama what Cheney is to Bush. I like Clark in that role a lot more of course.
I mentioned this to my wife and she said Clark as v.p. makes her fear for Obama’s life even more. Maybe some nutcase would want to create a scenario where the president was white again.
Some of my hopes for Obama’s campaign are that ultimately it would be good for black and white relations, that a more positive expectation of black leadership in America prevails at all levels,specifically from blacks and that cynicism of black towards whites and whites towards blacks would diminish. The rev. Wright issue was awful with regard to these hopes. Who knows maybe even that has some lessons for a lot of people? I really hope nothing of a violent nature ever happens to Obama.May 9, 2008 at 8:01 PM #202032NotCrankyParticipantSubmitted by afx114 on May 9, 2008 – 10:36am.
