...corrupted by politics.

I am, indeed, perplexed by the actions of Hillary Clinton. Her inability to admit defeat. And to accept it, gracefully. She continues to make a fool of herself. By fighting on and on. As if she's the salvation of the Democratic party. That only she can defeat Republican John McCain for the presidency. Therefore, she'll continue to tear down fellow Democrat Barack Obama. Well, I don't see Clinton as a dogged fighter, a woman who refuses to give up. She's a sore loser. She allows her giant ego to dictate her decision. She covets the White House. She wants to return as president. Having spent 8 years as the First lady wasn't good enough to salve her ego. And to get there, she's willing to malign Obama, who basically agrees with her on virtually all key domestic and foreign policy issues. It almost seems as if Clinton wants some stroke of bad luck to befall Obama. Such as a scandal or an illness that would ruin his bid for the nomination. Or even, assassination. My gawd, Clinton has hit a new low. It causes me to lose respect for Clinton. Now I don't even know if I'd want her as vice president. If I were Obama, I'd feel uncomfortable with Clinton. After what she has done. Oh, she'll ultimately fall in line and support Obama if he gets the nomination. But deep down, underneath, it will be a begrudging endorsement. Because she really wanted the presidency. She was even willing to sell her soul for the grand prize. And she'll always know that deep down. It's a shame that she has become corrupted by politics...by the quest for power. --Jim Broede
