It is truly amazing that Messrs. Laherty, Dodd, Richardson and most MSM are joining the cacophony of a bullying Obamyopia Chorus in trying to elbow Sen. Hillary Clinton off the ring. Of course, 'democratically-speaking', it is not the 'right' thing to do--with less than 1% of popular vote, not counting Florida and Michigan and trailing by a little more than 100 delegates!...

But the bullying boys want to ensure that the White House remain a Club for "gentlemen only" for yet another century. Pushing Hillary off the stage now, however undemocraticaly, is surely preferable to allowing this 'uppity' woman to occupy the protagonist's role in the highest office, where pantsuits have played only a supporting role to date. [Ever wonder why women don't get to direct more than .5% of movies in Hollywood and good parts for women, other than bimboids, are not being scripted? Now, think White House and multiply incumbent resistence by 100%!]

So, when they ask Hillary to throw in the towel before the fight's over, it's wise to first diagnose the bullying boys' allergic reaction to the 'democratic spirit' to which they've purportedly subscribed. In 1980, Ted Kennedy carried his run against Jimmy Carter all the way to the Convention, even though it was obvious he had been routed. And in 1976, Reagan contested the "inevitability" of Gerald Ford all the way to the Convention--and no one criticized Reagan for not stepping aside and letting Ford get the prize!

Perhaps the bullying boys should stop whining and rid themselves of their severe allergy to the democratic process, and 'do the right thing' by listening to two wise men who are not exactly fanatic fans of Hillary:

"I am sure....I have no doubt that Sen. Hillary Clinton will be a good President."---Sen. John McCain (Interviewed in Baghdad '05, with Hillary by Tim Russert of Meet the Press);

"I believe that Hillary will make a great President"--DNC Chair Howard Dean.[in S.Estrich: "The Case for Hillary Clinton"]

Then you can say, too, "We've come a long way, baby!" And Shirley Chisholm would be smiling from above....
