Blame Hillaryism

Bill Clinton’s odds of becoming the First Gentleman continue to dwindle this week, even as his wife opens yet another new shameless front in the campaign.
Last night, she grabbed the kitchen sink of sexism and threw that at Obama. HRC is clearly not thinking of how her late-primary actions are tainting her future political prospects. Blaming her poor performances on one more “ism” simply destroys party morale and denies reality. I think it’s time to acknowledge the reality and end this fool’s errand. She has no one to blame but her own brand of Hillaryism — a take-no-prisoners mentality where the end (the nomination) will ultimately justify the means, and they’ll pick up the pieces later.
Listen, Obama will be the Democratic nominee. This isn’t because America is not ready to support a woman for the White House. It’s not because America is too idealistic towards Obama. It’s because Democrats in America don’t want Hillaryism to extend any further! They’re tired of the scorched-earth politics that she has come to embody, and even though his liberal policies are conventional and well-known, Obama’s unconventional approach is appealing to the masses. As such they have pledged Sen. Obama over half of the total amount of delegates (sorry, Michigan and Florida — you still don’t count).
Now that Obamaism has plagued the nation, what is a continuation of this race going to do for Hillary?
Strain the fiscal energy of her contributors. Check. (something I don’t mind seeing, by the way.)
Damage the Democratic Party to ill repair. Check.
Lose respect from the party, thereby compromising a leadership role for her senatorial career. Check.
I’m not sure why I think pragmatism will hit Hillary this round of primaries, but maybe it will now that her own career is severely threatened. Voters have disregarded Hillary’s “ism” claims thus far, and her failure to realize this has cost her the nomination and is now threatening her senatorial career. It’s time for Hillary to bow out and chalk it up to Hillaryism.
