Clintonites for Mccain

DuBois has told McCain's people that she hopes McCain will be a one-term president, losing to Hillary in 2012. She says McCain's aides have responded, "We're happy to have you now."

Reluctant Democrats, feminists and independents must now confront one simple reality: John McCain will be more of the same, while Barack Obama will take us into a different direction.

The comment every reporter would kill for would be a candid, honest comment from Hillary Clinton. What does she make of the meetings of Hillary supporters uncomfortable with Obama?

It's time for Clinton supporters to get over their hurt feelings, get off the fence, and support one of the most exciting candidates the Democratic party has ever seen. The future depends on it.

I wish Hillary had been able to transcend that constantly reiterated "I" and exhort her followers to embrace the perspective of "we". That might have done something to influence obdurate positions.
