The Perfect Storm
Consider our prospects for November. In addition to an economic meltdown and an illegal and endless war, and a still-free Osama Bin Laden, there’s fresh reports that Iran’s not adding to the Iraq arsenal, the Middle East may yet explode to send oil prices into orbit, and could Republicans make matters worse?
Yes, they can. They can go on record against honoring Moms.
But even with that, I think it wise to heed the cautions Krugman’s providing.
With 6 months to go till Election Day, the last thing we need are early victory celebrations. What we should refocus our attention on is the downticket races: Senators and US reps, governors and Secretaries of State. The Netroots are far more effective building greater foundations, not just for six months from now but well into the future.
Let’s get to it.

The only important part of this end game is Hillary deciding whether or not the name Clinton will ever be a respected voice in a Party that is passing them by. And that decision comes in the manner by which she exits the race she has lost. Will she do it gracefully, attempting to curry the favor she has clearly lost along the way? Or will she do it bitterly, leading to real and lasting damage?
I must tell you, personally speaking: respect is earned and not blanketly given.
What they earned they lost with me.
The manner in which they end their silly fucking game will determine whether they can earn it back.
Please. Please don't tell me I have to show respect for someone who has clearly shown others no respect.
And enough with the "hillary's a victim" nonsense. It's terribly ridiculous.
If she is, she's nothing more than a victim of her own self-centerdness...
