The Democratic Party, the party of the poll tax legacy, now wants to disenfranchise two states of their vote. One that Obama pulled out voluntarily prior to the vote.

Sad day.

Her arguments at this point are now based on pure emotion. There are designed specifically to get her supporters to view the Obama nomination as illegitimate. There can be no other purpose. Even she knows that seating the Florida and Michigan delegations as they stand will not give her the nomination. I myself have tried to remain as neutral as possible (although my “come to Jesus” moment was her Commander in Chief threshold nonsense), but this has gone beyond the point of civility. She is trying to recreate the last stand of the Japanese in WWII. Even though the fight is lost, she wants everyone to go down with her. Because if she won’t be the nominee, she’s gonna make damn sure that Obama doesn’t win in November. Given her stance and the hardened positions of her most ardent supporters, there is now nothing she can say to make them vote for Obama in November and she knows it. Even with all of that, I would still vote for her if she were to somehow wrest the nomination away from Senator Obama. Defeating John McCain is the paramount objective. It’s just too bad that the Senator from my home state seems to have forgotten that.

I too was struck by the disgust shown by generally even-handed and even moderate voices in the blogosphere. It was like everyone had their “last straw” moment simultaneously.

Fortunately for all of us, the news cycle has been dominated by McCain — with his own “pastor problem” and with his “double secret” release of his medical records (and I ask you, what is he hiding?) — and the grenades thrown (oops, bad metaphor) over the GI Bill. So Hillary has been relegated to the back burner where, quite frankly, she belongs at this stage of the game.
