Reply #104: Okay, what if

[verges]

she doesn't get the nomination? Even before this happened, I would have put Obama's chances ahead of hers. She has now damaged the Democratic nominee (if it is Obama)!! If the nominee is her, than she has hurt her own chances by angering a LARGE portion of the Dems.

Had she made the same statement without mentioning McCain, it would have been completely acceptable. Had she said someway that she is better equipped to face-off against McCain in the general, it would have been acceptable. It is not acceptable to say that the Republican nominee is flat out better than a potential Democratic nominee.

Had she said it here, she would deserve to be tombstoned.
