honestly:

i am so afraid of barack obama!!! How can you be a progressive democrat without the progressive platform? Without universal health care, without a strategy to bring the troops home and end the war, without ANY ideas but the idea of vague "change" and the "audacity of hope" that doesn't have much to do with anything changing too much at all. I am so afraid of his supporters!!!! They don't seem to care if he can win or not. They don't seem to care about being out of touch with the american people, and they don't seem to care about the country, don't seem to care about what the actual specific issues are or about how their candidate has little grasp on any of them. They seem to think that running against Clinton forever is the goal of this "election". I think she sees this too, and because she cares about a democratic win this cycle, and knows how all important it is, she will not stop fighting, and I admire her for trying to stop a Mccain win with everything she has in her.
Going up against the press and the always losing party elites who do not care about the popular vote at all cannot be an easy thing to do. Win or lose, she is taking the entire political structure to task, and it needs to be done. Democracy is good for the democrats and the republicans. Women expand boundaries and challenge old patterns every day.
