Hillary Clinton won the Tuesday Pennsylvania Democratic Primary by about nine percentage points over Barack Obama which means this endless and tired campaign will continue well into May at least. Worst of all, her campaign strategy based on negativity, divisiveness, and out and out meanness will continue, further dividing the Democratic Party and feeding directly into a likely successful election of John McCain in November. Clinton continues to insist that she can be elected and should be nominated: she is dead wrong. If she is the nominee, we are looking at a repeat of 1972 when George McGovern got routed by 20 percentage points by Richard Nixon in the popular vote and the electoral college ended up a 520-17 obliteration. A McCain presidency largely sounds at the moment like an overall replay of the Bush junta, but it will probably be less so once it gets underway. But nevertheless, the progressive social agenda which looks most promising under an Obama presidency will not take place on any kind of level with a McCain presidency. It seems Clinton is guaranteeing that with her selfish impudence.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/opinion/23wed1.html?ref=opinion
