Tom Hayden has an article in The Nation about what Hillary is doing to herself and the Democratic Party.
Here's what I don't get: Hillary's doing everything in her power to win the nomination, but at the risk of alienating those who have never been more energized and motivated to vote, viz. the young. The young who feel empowered by possibly helping elect a president will be the same people that stay involved in Democratic politics for years to come.
This is the problem with U.S. politics today, they follow the mantra: "Screw tomorrow, it's all about now and all about me."
The ego is astounding! Hillary would rather risk giving the White House to John McCain than allow Barack Obama to win the Democratic nomination.
Maybe Hillary needs to re-burnish her Democratic credentials.
Where's the logic? There isn't any, that's the problem.
