Clinton campaign demonstrates repeated incompetence

[Griff]

If the discussion continues to be misogynists versus racists the Dems have a good chance of alienating the electorate and screwing up what should have been an easy win.

The Hillary dynamic is interesting. NPR interviewed a bunch of boomer women at a rally. I forget what was said that implied she wasn't getting a fair shake because she's a women, but the other thing they leaned on was how because she's a women she understands and represents them. Pete says she doesn't speak to her as a post boomer. The things the older boomer women fought for have been largely won but older boomers are reluctant to heal the wounds, which is necessary to consolidate the victory. If they keep opening the wounds they feed the conservative backlash. To me Sen. Clinton represents conflict.

Obama may speak to me because he's about my age and has seen the cartoon conflicts over serious principles from a tail boomer perspective. He is left of me on much domestic policy, but he's generally been on the money foreign policy wise. He acts like someone who understands the opposition and would make sensible compromises. I don't buy the inexperience line because I think experienced politicians are one of the biggest problems for our system.
