4. I told my friend, a former conservative Republican who is a solid Democrat now, that the Clintons

have won the party ZERO elections.

This is what kills me:

When I hear people like Tweety and other commentators sing the praises of Bill Clinton and proclaim that Dems have to send in "The Big Dog" to speak on behalf of Obama because, you know, those working class "Reagan Democrats" who supposedly aren't racists don't want to see Allison Grimes with the black Muslim from Kenya.

So you send Bill down to Arkansas to stomp for Blanche Lincoln in 2010. She loses.
You send Bill down to Florida to vouch for Sink. She loses.
You send both Clintons back to Arkansas on behalf of Mark Pryor. He loses.
You send them both to Kentucky where the goal is to distance yourself from a sitting president with a solid record to run on. Grimes loses.
Back to Florida for Crist. He loses.
To Connecticut for Malloy. He loses.
For Udall who didn't want Obama around. He loses.

Gee, all the races where Democrats counted on Bill Clinton to deliver these "Reagan Democrats" to the party failed.

I'm telling ya'll: The Democrats are making a HUGE mistake putting all their eggs in one basket for Hillary Clinton.

After tonight, I think she decides not to run.

I don't know who will, but if Hillary had any shred of decency or love for the Democratic Party left, she'll do the right thing and decide not to run.

Just my opinion.
