Campaign

Senator Clinton is really making a pig's ear* of the campaign situation.

She can not win the nomination. She can, however, be a hero by handling her loss gracefully. She can throw her full support behind Senator Obama, spend several months campaigning effectively for him, and come out of this thing smelling like roses.

Instead, she's doing everything possible to ensure that John McCain is the next president.

If she wonders why so many Democrats have turned their backs on her and thrown their support behind Obama, I suggest she spend some time reviewing her campaign performance over the last couple of months.

She should realize that a lot of Democratic voters are turned off by anyone willing to sit down with Bill O'Reilly.

She should know that first supporting the non-seating (un-seating?) of delegates from Michigan and Florida, then reversing her opinion when she needs them, comes across as just plain petty and selfish.

She should recognize that garnering more lukewarm support from gun-toting, Ten- Commandments-in-school believing, gay-bashing Creationists than Obama is not viewed as an admirable accomplishment by most Democratic voters. It's actually a mark against her if those idiots back her.

*I've never before in my life used the term "made a pig's ear of." The thought of barbecue must have influenced my word choices.
