byron - i don't hate the clintons. i think many, many people are waking up to the realities of their 'take no prisoners' approach that may not have been so offensive when they were running against republicans. now that they are using the same tactics on a young, promising candidate that is building huge reservoirs of new voters - not so cool. that's my theory. to risk forever being known as the campaign that wrenched the nomination away from obama in such an under-handed and distasteful way is apparently a risk the clintons are wholeheartedly assuming. they assume too much if they believe that the democratic party will continue to forgive them.
