Media Paints Hillary's Situation as Bleak

In reading an article about Hillary's plight, it seems her prospects seem bleaker by the hour. Her woes include the following:

1. Obama's already amazing eleven primary/caucus wins.

2. Senator Chris Dodd endorses Obama.

3. Obama actually BEING civil, as opposed to his opponent.

4. Obama, NOT Hillary, seen as a unifying force who inspires many who don't normally vote to vote, who inspires people who've never been involved in politics to be involved, who has shown us we, as Americans, have so much more that unites us than divides us, and who will inspire us to be involved in the political process and help change this country's course and right that course...

5. Clinton's support seems to be collapsing and there are stories of infighting within her campaign. (This is a UNIFYING person?!)

6. Obama leads, according to a CBS News/New York Times survey, 54 to 38 percent among Democrats around the country (my own mother-in-law, who, unfortunately, voted for Hillary [and we all gave her a hard time about that...] has now told us she very much prefers Obama over Clinton!). A USA Today/Gallup poll had Obama at 51 percent to Hillary's 39 percent.

7. Obama is now LEADING for the first time in Texas, a state that, many projected, should have gone to Hillary because of the large Latino population there.

8. Clinton's lead in Ohio is rapidly shrinking. Obama is now within five points of Clinton.

So, yeah, there's lots of frustration over at Camp Clinton. So much so that

With Obama's momentum mounting, frustration was beginning to boil out of the Clinton camp.

The New York senator's chief spokesman Howard Wolfson went on a tirade against the media in a conference call on Monday.

"I think Senator Obama's entire campaign against Senator Clinton is negative," Wolfson said.

"He has run against her as the status quo, he has essentially called her divisive, he has called her untruthful, he has questioned her credibility. He has said she will do or say anything to get elected."
I'm sorry! Excuse me? OBAMA'S campaign has been negative?! What's negative about wanting to make the country a better place? What's negative about wanting to change the status quo since the status quo SUCKS?! It's not been Obama who's been attacking Hillary at EVERY event, news conference, or interview. It's HILLARY!!

If this is the pack of lies the Hillary campaign wants to keep perpetuating, perhaps it truly IS time for her to simply step aside and allow a candidate who has nothing more than the country's best interests at heart to begin his campaign against John McCain and finally begin to heal this country.
