She needed to win by 15 point spreads, but she barely squeaked out a victory in Texas (meaning her and Obama split the delegates, hardly a victory) and won by 10 points in Ohio. Obama is still ahead substantially. What's even more telling is the way she did it-- by polling place intimidation at the Texas caucus sites, but lying about Obama's experience in forming public policy in contrast to her's and McCain's (and giving a tacit endorsement to McCain over Obama), by putting fear-mongering commercials on TV, and by screaming "shame on you Barack Obama" on national TV as if she's scolding a child. How is she going to face her colleagues in the Senate after this disgraceful performance is beyond me. What she's showing is that she is quite willing to destroy the Democratic Party in order to get votes. Rachel Maddow (Air America radio host and political scientist) has stated that every time a bloody primary is fought to the end of the season, that party loses. The last six times it has happened, this has been the case. <BR/> At this point, Hillary needs to win by even greater margins spreads than 15 points, so her situation is worse, not better, after the Texas/Ohio elections. The situation for the Democrats at this moment is dire, and more mud-slinging by Hillary could be the death knell to their taking control of the White House. If Barack takes the same tone and tactic in the upcoming campaign, we're doomed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754578735850187408.post-15138056995533110412008-03-08T11:16:00.001-05:002008-03-08T11:16:00.001-05:00I don't understand why Hillary even gets LGBT supp...I don't understand why Hillary even gets LGBT support.
