That's been one of my biggest issues (5.00 / 1) (#24)

With the Clinton team.

I think they've been too shy about some issues because they worry too much about how Clinton will be perceived and portrayed as shrewish in the media.

But the thing is.  Clinton does the nice thing and they still call her shrewish.  The comparisons to Tonya Harding are going to be strewn about by the pathetic fools no matter what she does, so it's best to just do what you feel is right, fight for what you believe in in your heart of hearts, and let the media do what it does.

If anything, the media behaving the way it does only solidifies and hardens her core support.

One point I haven't yet seen (5.00 / 1) (#59)

argued strikes me as pretty important.

Obama supporters like Leahy insist that Hillary drop out so that Obama might remain electable. Yet they turn right around and emphatically reject the idea that electability should be a consideration in selecting our nominee.

Well, if doing the right thing for the Party is supposedly to drop out to make the nominee more electable, why isn't doing the right thing for the Party allowing superdelegates to choose the candidate who is the most electable in the first place?

In short, (none / 0) (#60)

If electability of our nominee is important enough to force someone to drop out of the race, why isn't it important enough to use as a basis for selecting our candidate?

Why the absurd double standard?
