The Democratic Campaign Descends into Nightmare

As a previous and potential Democratic voter, I am devastated and horrified to see the campaign of two amazing Democratic candidates descend into the abyss. These two candidates showed so much promise, several months ago, to offer us hope and a way out of the mess Bush has gotten us into. But now the same old politics that places personal gain and advantage over the common good seems to be at work to destroy what otherwise could have been a relatively easy victory for Democrats in November, given the state of the economy and public feelings about the war.

I can hardly believe what once seemed so promising has descended so quickly into a nightmare, and that people like the Clintons and their supporters, as well as some of Obama's advisors, seem not to care what happens in November. They now seem willing to sacrifice the battle against the Republicans in order to win the primary at any cost! Shame, shame, and more shame on the political structure, values, and candidate campaigns that seem to be dedicated to driving all possibility of hope out of our political process.....
