The Clintons seem to appear to be willing to win the nomination anyway they can. That means if it is an ugly win, so be it. But on the other hand it looks like they are willing to lose just as ugly as they can, if it comes to that. Does not appear the the election ugly rhetoric is slacking up now that Obama is the presumptive Dem nominee.
The Clintons were caught flat footed and blind sided by the campaign of Obama. This upstart came from virtually now where to snatch the limelight from the Clintons. This was unacceptable; they were to inevitable nominee and now they are trying to reclaim that anyway they can.
I have some pundits claim that this ugliness is somehow good for the Party, that is bullsh*t! The damage the Cli ntons are inflicting on the Party could have long lasting consequences. The goodwill the Bill had with the people is slowly deteriorating. They will have a difficult time convincing the people that they are truly concerned with the plight of the American people. They are looking like it has been ALL self-interst all these years. It is just now showing its real face, for years they had the people believing in them and their policies, which by the way are part and parcel of the economic problems we face today.
The Clinton will lose their power with the American people, that they will no longer be seen as the leaders of the Dem Party. It also appears that the Clintons are so worried that if they lose this round that it could very well be their final curtain call in this docudrama.
Personally, it is way past time for a change in the leadership, the policies of the Clintons and the DLC have brought the US to the brink of economic collapse.
