OT sort of but I went over to No Quarter one of the main Clinton blogs for a bit of schadenfreude in the comment threads. Christ I wish I hadn't, I need a shower

Yeah, a lot of folks out there, especially in more obscure blogs (but sometimes on the biggies), are just hideous.

That goes for both Obama and Clinton people, in fairness, although some of the ex-Reps who've joined the DLC Wing of the party reveal their past a little too easily for me.

They'd rather vote for McCain than Obama? No Quarter lost it's little mind some time ago, but that's just insane. Obama is most likely to run a standard issue relatively low-grade evil US foreign policy and as lefty an economic policy as you're going to get from any of the candidates, which isn't saying much. McCain????

It's silly season.  People are tired and frustrated.  Understandably, I think.  This has been a long primary.  But I think it was Jeff Toobin at CNN who pointed out that we saw a similar divide between Bush and McCain in 2000.  McCainiacs said they'd only vote for the Stray Cock Express.  Except they came around to vote for Junior.

Same thing will happen here.  Worst-case scenario is Obama winds up being forced to put her on the ticket, in which case Bubba goes on a very long vacation to a place where he can do whatever it is he does with his spare time.  And Hillary then gets to do a back and forth between Ohio and Florida for the next five months.

I think that's unlikely to be needed anyway, and that it should be avoided if at all possible given the much better choices for Veep, but the option is always there.
