(13,965 posts)I am in Florida. There is part of me that would to be "fuck it, I am in a blue state" or fuck it, the red staters will drown me out antyway. I do not have the luxury, and I also still hear the GOP types brag about how they plan to support nader again as a spoiler.
That being said, Hillary knows she can openly have contempt for the left. It does not hurt that firends of hers like LLoyd Blankfeld and Ann Evelyn de Rothschild will shovel money into her maw for having contempt for the left, or that Arianna Huffington will reward her for slapping aorund the left. What used to be the center is now the parasite arm of the right, lifeboats full of half drowned rats who let the GOp crash the nation into the rocks, and know want to become captains of our boat.
Unfortunately, the presidential race is the lowest prize, to be given only after someone has been evtted by the rich well enough thay can plan the next eight years. if we want less of this, we have to become local, and get, and keep, a bunch of pariahs that will hold the house and senate.
One thing Hillary, if Obama avoided pickign you or any of your people, he woudl have been praised. Yes, you and your PUMAS would have thrteaned war, but let's face it, the Puma wing has NOT stopped. You are already slamming Obama because he id not let you get that war with Syria you wanted.
