Shame on Hillary's Half-Baked Campaign

Man, not to get overly political... but I hope Hillary hangs it up when Texas and Ohio are done. She is attacking Obama today for his ads that point out that her health care coverage requires everyone to have it or be penalized. Regardless of whose plan you like the most, there is no way her "mandatory coverage" would ever pass; so it is a mute point. Obama's plan, though not mandating universal coverage, is the only plan that stands a chance of getting past congress. Plus, Clinton has been attacking him on universal health care the entire campaign and now says that she cannot believe "one Democrat would attack another over universal health care." Um... well, yeah. Right. The plagiarism argument? She stole her "famous" final lines of the last debate from a Bill speech in 1992. The super delegate argument? Obama has gained 27 on her in the last two weeks. The Michigan and Florida argument? Even with those delegates she wouldn't catch him, and he wasn't even on the ballot in one state! Her campaign is so sophomoric. It is petty. And the real kicker is, she can't even get nominated by the party she and her husband own, so what makes her think she can win a national election? It is kind of surreal to me how delusional these old school Democrats are.

But the election is beginning to bug me. I can't stomach McCain at all either. So I've re-ranked my voting preferences and these will stick through the election (I think):

1. Barack Obama
2. Abstain from voting
