The Arrogance of Entitlement: Hillary versus Republicans

11. Romance?

I think it's possible that some Democrats have fallen in love with the idea of electing firsts.
A subtext of Obama's "hope and change" appeal was to renew "hope" by showing how far we have come, and to be a part of a historical "change."

I think the 2008 primary was largely about choosing which first we should elect. Obama captured the energy and imagination best. Now I see a lot of "first" chasers along with extreme loyalists. Part of the loyalty is built around the RW hate of the Clinton's. Sort of like, "if someone is hated by the RW as much as I hate the RW, then they deserve loyalty." That is also why claiming victim status is so effective in neutralizing questioning of ethics, or honesty.
