Playing The Game At Our Expense

I can think of all kinds of reasons why a Democratic voter would favor Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama for the party presidential nomination or vice versa (though the right thing to do is to support John Edwards instead), but this is definitely not a reason to support Obama over Clinton as far as I’m concerned (as noted here)…

"No one motivates the Republicans in Missouri like Hillary Clinton."
So we’re supposed to let people who probably wouldn’t give a Dem the time of day anyway decide how the party should vote? Would they ever do the same for us? Do I even have to ask?

And that assumes that, somehow, those same Repugs would be less "motivated" if Obama or Edwards were the nominee - please...

And by the way, “thanks” for being a tower of Jell-o on the matter of immunity to the telcos, Sen. McCaskill (here, and kudos to Bob Casey for doing the right thing).
