Dems getting Clinton fatigue

It is becoming clear that the longer Hillary Clinton stays in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination the more harm she stands to cause the Party.

A recent poll in the Boston Globe shows that as many as 28 percent of Clinton voters would go to McCain and 19 percent of Obama voters (if somehow he were to lose out on the nomination.)

What we have is a serious case of fatigue in the Democratic Party coupled with a fair amount of emnity between supporters of Clinton and Obama.

The Democrats, despite churning out new voters by the hundreds of thousands, can't win for losing. This should be their election to lose and, dog gone it, they're going to lose it.

The Clintons aren't loyal Democrats, as many are prone to believe. They are power brokers in the most cutthroat sense of the term. They will stay in this race until the bitter end--and it will be bitter, to be sure.

Hillary cannot win, that much is clear. But what she can do is try and try again.

In much the same way as Mike Tyson in his prime was one punch away from a title, the Clintons are only one smear away from the nomination--or so they think.

If the Jeremiah Wright controversy wasn't enough to sink Obama's ship, what will?
