How does Hillary Clinton sleep at night? "She" is the devil. I use the quotes because her being a woman has been alleged. I think that's up for debate.
I'm new to politics, so everything that has gone on in the month of February from Sen. Clinton has been similar to my initial exposure to the workforce. It's just so disheartening. It doesn't have to be this way. Where are everyone's priorities? Why's everyone so selfish? I thought we all had the same goal here? What is wrong with you people?!?
She's clearly made a move to set herself up for some future move and is entirely down to sell her soul and integrity to get wherever she's going. But that's politics, I guess.
What's more concerning is that I had no idea that politics is just one a massive game to see who can trick the AMAZINGLY ignorant general public into believing the most ridiculous thing that for some uninformed reason could actually be seen as true in someone's world. I don't think I knew that people didn't read on their own until now. It would seem that news junkies are a part of a clique of sorts that kind of wonder about everyone else. Like really, you're watching Top Model when there's a debate on? Asha and I were talking about how amazing it is that an advertisement seemingly swindled mass amounts of people. Are people that dumb? Do you just believe anything that anyone tells you? Part of me wants to start saying any damn thing to Clinton supporters just to get them to the side that I believe is right, but I guess that's what Hillary calls herself doing and I can't be like her.
I just really thought everyone, at least over 23, watched the news all the time. But I guess that's the kind of thought that comes from being around the same 3 people all the time like myself *shrug*.
I was through with Clinton after the 60 mins interview last week. But I was REALLY through when she started with the McCain would be a better president than Obama tactic. Really Hillary? If you can't win, then no one should...right? I mean, can you imagine John McCain on national TV MULTIPLE TIMES saying that Hillary Clinton would make a better president than say Rudy Giulliani or Mitt Romney? I just don't get how someone could be that way and be a-ok with it. It makes me question a lot of things about the Clintons and life in general. People are scary man.
For these reasons and the commentary below (thank you Peggy Noonan and Jon Chait), I'm willing to vote Republican in the next election if she somehow swindles the superdelegates into giving her the nomination. Because we all know she's not about to outright win this thing based on votes from the remaining states. It'll be interesting to see the smart shit that Obama's camp comes up with in the coming weeks to get more "tough" on her--since it's apparent that he needs to do so to win over the dummies everywhere. I'd love to be a part of that think tank.
What do I think is the biggest reason Mrs. Clinton came back? She kept her own spirits up to the point of denial and worked it, hard, every day. She is hardy, resilient, tough. She is a train on a track, an Iron Horse. But we must not become carried away with generosity. The very qualities that impress us are the qualities that will make her a painful president. She does not care what you think, she will have what she wants, she will not do the feints, pivots and backoffs that presidents must. She is neither nimble nor agile, and she knows best. She will wear a great nation down.
In any case the Clinton campaign, which has always been more vicious than clever, this week did a very clever thing. They pre-empted any criticism of past scandals by pushing a Democratic Party button called . . . the Monica story. Mr. Obama is "imitating Ken Starr" by speaking of Mrs. Clinton's record, said Howard Wolfson. But Ken Starr documented malfeasance. Mr. Obama can't even mention it.

I end with a deadly, deadpan prediction from Christopher Hitchens. Hillary is the next president, he told radio's Hugh Hewitt, because, "there's something horrible and undefeatable about people who have no life except the worship of power . . . people who don't want the meeting to end, the people who just are unstoppable, who only have one focus, no humanity, no character, nothing but the worship of money and power. They win in the end."
