Barack Obama, Right Choice for America!!!
I have said that I was beginning to believe that Clinton would gladly divide the Democratic Party in order to facilitate a future run for power or possibly that they were actually calculating their chances for a just barely squeaked out independent win in November.
Well the big news out of last nights ABC mugging of Obama is that Hillary emphatically believes that Barack Obama can win the Presidency. She also stated that she would work hard for the candidate winning the nomination. That would appear to put a halt to any thought of an independent ticket, unless she 'MISSPOKE', again.
She also came out of the closet as a much bigger hawk on Iran than was previously noticed. Hillary, who was in a position to know better willingly voted for the Iraq war and never accepted responsibility for that vote in addition to giving the Bushies and their Neocons the Iran 'terrorism vote' which will give them the authority as they see it to 'shock and awe' Iran. I've been outrageously angry with the Clinton campaign because of her Rovian politics steeped in lies and innuendo. It's the same style of conducting herself that we have been decrying throughout the long dark Neocon-absorbed Cheney/Bush years. The difference between her and Bush-hugging McCain is much smaller than the growing gulf between her, solid Democrats and all fair minded Americans. .

“In Germany, they first came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist....
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.....
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist....
Then they came for the Catholics
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Catholic....
Then they came for me –
and by that time there was nobody left to speak up.”.....
