Hillary Clinton

(13,870 posts)I've been on DU for 15 years and it wasn't until a couple of months ago that I was really concerned about some of the sentiment here. Not the Sanders vs Clinton discussion; that is normal and healthy party politics. It was the many threads that took a position that Clinton (both of them) and Obama were just marginally better than the GOP.
BTW, I've met Jessie Jackson twice. He is sincere and committed, and takes his treatment from the press in stride. I voted for him before, and always wished he had come back to SC and run for Congress, but even with 1/3 AA population we only get one of 7 seats with majority minority and Jim Clyburn has that locked in for as long as he wants it.
Everyone knows of the tension between Clyburn and the Clintons in 08 over his early support of Obama. I can assure you he will be a force for Hillary in the next primary and I expect her to pull in 2/3 of the vote.
