Reply #150: I'd love to have a discussion on the causes and merits of the Civil Was, really.

But it is beside the point of this thread.

Perhaps Barak would be as good a motivating factor for the "bubbas", but I'm not sure, after all, he is "such a nice young man", and he would pass the paper bag test.

I do know for certain, that HRC absolutely will motivate them like nothing else I can imagine.

Bubba is a real problem, but he's very sad right now and not really in a fighting mood, I think it is better to keep it that way, especially since President Clinton II would not be significantly different from any of the corporate shills from the other side.

Now before you bring up the SCOTUS nominations, yes they are extremely important and that is yet another reason for her not to get the nomination. If she does manage to win, it is very likely that she will face a Republic Senate that has to approve those nominations. Once again, if she's the nominee, Bubba will damn sure take back the modest gains we have made in his territory. Even assuming that she would want to make really good nominations (an assumption I wouldn't bet on in light of her history), what do you think a firmly Republic Senate will let her have?

She just isn't worth the risk or the price.
