"People (on the left) hate Clinton because he compromised with Republicans (Isn't that bipartisanship?)"

Not me, that's one of the things I always liked about Bill Clinton.  He was skillful at give and take, and was able to get a lot accompished even with a fairly hostile opposition congress.  His wife, I find, does not fully understand the nature of compromise.   She caves where she ought to stand firm, and worse, she tries to play a bipartisan game against people who have zero interest in bipartisanship.  They shake her hand in public and then snicker to each other about how weak she is when she steps across the isle.  There is a time to be centrist, and a time to stand and fight for what you believe.  I no longer trust her ability to differentiate between the two.  She did that to herself, it had nothing to do with Obama.

She's fighting a ruthless battle against Obama, no doubt about it, but where was this ruthlessness when it really counted in the senate?  If only she were so ruthless against the Republicans. 

But look, really, after all this argument, we're still left with the simple fact that she really has almost no chance to win, and she's doing all this damage for nothing. 

"Do you really think the Pubs are not going to attack Obama, especially after Carter, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore and Kerry?"

They attack everyone, absolutley everyone, this is not news to anyone.  The problem with Gore and Kerry is that when they ran for office they toned things down out of caution.  Look at how much more passionate Gore became after the 2000 election.  Kerry has posted some fairly passionate entries on the Huffington Post, and people have often responded by asking him:  Where was all this passion when you ran for office?

For me, this is what Obama has that Hillary lacks.  She will likely try to be all things to all people, speaking from calculation rather than from the heart, and they will smell that like dogshit on the bottom of someone's shoe.
