Is this what it's come to?
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
As the NYTimes writes this morning, "Mrs. Clinton’s best hope now is that Mr. Obama, as a candidate, suffers a political collapse akin to what has happened to the subprime mortgage market, a view shared by aides in both campaigns."
I think that this is probably the most disheartening and disappointingly aspect of this entire primary election. After two great candidates entered into a completely fair contest, we are now left with one of the campaigns leaving themselves with no other option than to hope and pray for the utter destruction of the opposing candidate.
I think that Senator Clinton has every right to stay in the primary for as long as she likes. And if she had kept her campaign completely positive and continued to build excitement about the Democratic party in every state where they campaigned, I would be the first to say that it was well worth it.
But, what we're stuck with now is a minor tragedy.

Mrs. Clinton is an interesting character who at best is her own worst enemy and at worst our own worst enemy. Within her Democratic party she has the unique ability to drive people to a completely untested and basically unknown person in Mr. Obama. How does she accomplish this? It is in her basic nature that first revealed itself 16 years ago. If she is to win the nomination she will need all her internal strength to control her nature. It is fascinating to watch this play out.
