I'm working right now on a project that will create a network of progressive organizers.

I will update here at BooTrib as I make progress...

I'm really interested to see the polls coming out the next few days.   Yesterday's polls were just the beginning.   She's beginning the long slow slide.  All of these articles and teevee spots are working away in the background of day-to-day life and eventually will become common wisdom.   At that point the slide will become faster and could even be a stomach churning drop (although the odds of her going lower than, say, 40% aren't very good.  Look how bad Bush is and he's still got a base of support).  

The only question to me is how long it will take.

There was a post about a week ago that indicated that the media are loving the raucous back and forth of Obama/Clinton interaction.  I'll have to find that link.  Personally, I had my fill weeks ago.

A person with a sense of entitlement fails to see the "exit" signs. She would rather stay in the ocean instead swimming to shore. Hillary drowning a lifetime of political work, for something that is not an "entitlement", her campaign ran a 100 yard-sprint, when the race is a marathon. She cannot catch-up.

The path to hell seems to be a viscous cycle. For Hillary, the more she throws bombs at Obama, the more she seems to accelerate her decent. At 37% popularity, her lowest in several years, Hillary's self-destructiveness is now becoming an issue that relates directly to her ability to lead this country. But it is also turning off the superdelegates.

This piece from NBC/NJ's Matthew E. Berger speaks to the issue. When will Hillary give up a losing battle?

At a time when Sen. Hillary Clinton is increasingly relying on superdelegates to vault her to the Democratic Party's nomination, a handful of undecided and pledged superdelegates are coming forward to say her campaign's tactics in recent weeks are doing more harm than good.

The Democratic Party insiders say they believe Clinton's direct attacks against Sen. Barack Obama in recent days are hurting the party and its chances in November, and also say it is showing a calculated, desperate-to-win side of Clinton that they dislike.

"In looking at the manner in which the candidates are campaigning, I think it would be best they focused their attention on the presumptive nominee and showed our party which one is better in campaigning against McCain," said Garry Shay, a California superdelegate, who announced his support for Clinton.

Unlike some in the party, these superdelegates said they do not believe Clinton should drop out of the race. They said they are committed to the democratic process, and want to allow the states still remaining to cast their ballots. But they acknowledged Obama is the likely nominee and suggested the personal attacks were only hurting the party and its viability.

I truly feel sorry for the Hillaryophiles, but when the primaries have ended, they have ended. There is nothing that Bill has up his sleeve that would not simply continue Hillary's decent. She is looking like a sore loser who is now willing to take the Democrats down with her.

Right, and the primaries haven't ended yet, so what's the harm in playing this out?  If you are really that certain he will be the nominee, why not just ignore Clinton and turn your focus elsewhere?  She can't really hurt him.  All this stuff will come out in the fall anyway.  The fact he is having to fight a bit for the nomination will make him stronger against McCain who is no pushover.

Regards.
