Everywhere you turn, word is..it's over. Time to pack it in. I think it’s time to administer last rites to Hillary’s bid for the nominaton. Everywhere you turn, word is..it’s over.

Not a scientific poll, but really amazing support given what we hear in the MSM. Take a look at this Jeremy Scahill piece from RealTime last night.

On the other hand some raged furious when Richardson endorsed Obama. See a contradiction here? (Reich has to be a real slap in the face.) In fact, contradictary policies, opinions, and practices coming from the Hillary machine seem to be so consistent as to leave the decided, or undecided, voter so confused as to who Hillary really is and/or what she really believes that Hillary may end up losing by default.

Read about it on firedoglake. Hillary may just have cooked her own goose when she gave a metaphorical middle finger to Move On.

My second reaction is that a saavy politician, upon becoming convinced that trivial stupidity is the only thing that gets attention, might choose to be the one driving <em>which</em> trivial stupidities are being talked about. One assumes that giving a subtle finger might not be a thing that an effete elitist does, so being accused of it might actually enhance one's standing, paradoxically. Particularly when the other side is suggesting Obama isn't up to the rough-and-tumble. I'm just sayin'. Finally, the moment Hillary complains, I'll be happy to paraphrase a noted Senator: "Being shown rude gestures is nothing like the pressures you face inside the White House. In fact, when the going gets tough, you just can’t walk away because we’re going to have some very tough decisions that we have to make. I think we need a president who can take whatever comes your way.” Science has not yet invented measurements small enough to express how little I care if it was a rude gesture or if it was intentional or not.
