From Dick Morris, who I highly respect:
Does Hillary want to beat up Obama so that he can’t win the general election in November, assuring McCain of the presidency so that she can have a clear field to run again in 2012? Obviously, if Obama beats McCain, Hillary is out of the picture until 2016, by which time, at 69 years old, she might be too old to run. But if McCain wins, she would have to be considered the presumptive front runner for the nomination, a status which she might parlay into a nomination more successfully than she has been able to do this year.
I tend to agree with him at this point. Hillary is obviously not at all concerned with doing what is best for the party. My gut feeling is she is posturing for 2012 and making sure someone she can beat is in the White House. Parties rarely vote out an incumbant member of their own party. What do you think?
