This analogy seems to be spreading. Can't say it's not a good one.

The thing is, when is enough enough? If this is what it takes for who to win- who wants her?

What is her "win at any cost" campaign going to cost the Democrats and the country?



Dems Fear Clinton's 'Tonya Harding' Option

“It is improbable but, yes, still mathematically possible that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton could win the Democratic presidential nomination.

What Democratic officials across the country fear is what Clinton will have to do to party rival Illinois Sen. Barack Obama -- who leads in pledged delegates and the popular vote -- to make that happen.

"I don't think she has no chance, but the route for her to victory is so bad for the Democratic Party -- it's to damage Obama so much that people feel he's not electable," said ABC News political contributor Matthew Dowd, a former adviser to President Bush, repeating the sentiments of many in the other party.

One Democratic Party official called Clinton's strategy "The Tonya Harding Option" -- the idea that Clinton's only path to the gold medal is to destroy her leading competitor.”




And this on new polls shows Clinton not really getting any closer. Will this mean even more divisive tactics?

"From NBC's Chuck Todd
As expected, one of the two major Democratic candidates saw a downturn in the latest NBC/WSJ poll, but it's not the candidate that you think. Hillary Clinton is sporting the lowest personal ratings of the campaign. Moreover, her 37 percent positive rating is the lowest the NBC/WSJ poll has recorded since March 2001, two months after she was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York."



In this person's opinion, the super delegates have had it. Is he right?

"It is increasingly clear to them, as it has long been clear to me, that the Clinton strategy of wrecking ball, personal destruction poses an increasing danger that McCain wins the White House and Democrats are hurt in House and Senate elections."

.....

"I am detecting a significant “behind the scenes” change, in the last 48-72 hours, from a growing number of superdelegates who want the Clinton carnage to end and will soon be moved to action.

What is called the Tonya Harding strategy by Clinton will soon drive superdelegates to action to end a campaign that has now become destructive and dangerous for all Democrats. "

As I've suspected all along, the MSM are largely behind all this Clinton negativity, the latest of which is the idea that the majority of Dems. want her to quit the race because they say that what she's doing is destroying the party's chances of winning in November. This has been played over and over again by everyone from Chris Matthews to Tucker Carlson and everyone in between. But guess what? The latest polls show that only 22% of Dems. think Hillary should quit the race now, and I'm betting that most of those are Obama supporters.

So let's not let the MSM define this race for us, okay? Let's let it play out in real time with us making the calls for a change. Let the voters speak, and let's do our best to ignore what the MSM are telling us we're really thinking. :rolleyes:
