With the primary lull, it’s been hard tog et stoked about anything on the Presidential front, but I’ve been getting more and more frustrated with Clinton.  It’s been obvious (to me) for a long time that she’s been staying in the race just to hurt Obama, with the hope that she’ll help make him lose 2008 and open the door for her 2012 run.  I hoped for awhile that it was just me being cynical, but the sings just keep pointing to that.  When Richardson endorsed Obama, the story came that was was telling him that Obama had no chance, now both Clintons seem to be telling the same thing to anyone who will listen.  Today, Drudge has a story about how McCain is telling his people to stop attacking Clinton, saying that he would prefer running against her than Obama.  Plus, all the polls still show Obama doing better than Clinton v. McCain, and he still has an “insurmountable” lead in the popular vote and delegate count.   Yuck.

A part of me wouldn’t mind if Clinton got the nomination, because I believe McCain would crush her and it would be the final death knell for the unrealized Clinton dynasty.  Then, when 2012 came around, and 2016 after, there’d be no risk of Clinton trying again.  Of course, I still really strongly favor an Obama presidency, but I guess the silver lining would be saying goodbye to HC.

(Also, I’m going to start a rumor that my sister named her daughter so she would share initials with the former first lady.  Don’t tell her I started it; she’d never forgive me.)
