To Praise Her Or To Bury Her

The next act in our Greek tragedy is what to do with the apparent loser in the Democratic nomination process.

A Death By A Thousand Cuts: They each took turns stabbing Caesar. Now the ultimate slap in the face is the trickle of superdelegates who come out each day to proclaim their allegiance to Obama. Two this day, four on another; not a mighty rush but just enough to make each day painful for Madame Clinton.

Et Tu, Brute: It is one thing to have nameless party hacks turn their back on you. But starting weeks ago with long time personal friend, Governor Bill Richardson's defection, the tide has been turned. Many who owe their place in the political scene to the Clintons, have now betrayed their long time acquaintance and mentor and have gone on to the other side.

She Continues To Rise Until The Bitter End: So who will be the white knight to finally put our evil damsel to death. Lords Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana have failed in this mission. For a defeated foe, Hillary still has some tricks up her sleeve. West Virginia and Kentucky seem poised to follow her charms. Perhaps the final sword will be thrust by Count Oregon.

The Fight For Her Mantle: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian fought for the open spot left by Caesar. Obama will be king but who will be his court jester. Word has already leaked out that Mrs. Obama and leading wizard, Edward Kennedy, will have nothing to do with the suddenly downtrodden Clinton. Watch as a myriad of names come pouring forth in the veep sweepstakes.

Watch Out For The Wrath Of A Woman Scorned: Remember that Obama's victory will be by the slimmest of margins. Remember that two of the big ones - Florida and Michigan - were not properly accounted for. Remember that the presumptive nominee is about to get his ass kicked in West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico (yes it counts!). Hillary, like it or not, represents millions of women who can easily take revenge and stay home in November. Don't be so presumptive. No matter how many heads Obama and his warriors cut off from the so called Clinton monster, there will always be a head remaining. She is still alive and powerful. Deal with her in a straight forward and honorable manner or be ready to pay for your disdainful spirit.
