Being Mean To Hillary

Good holy hopping hell, people.

You know what? When people were saying two months ago that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race, it was bullshit and, to a large extent, carried sexist undertones, if not overtones. But you know what? Those days is all over, gang. Today is today, and today the math says Hillary can't win the nomination. That's not to say that Obama has, but Obama can, by the numbers, and Clinton can not. Does she have to drop out? No. Does she have the right to stay in the race? Yes. Is her dropping out of the race, at this point, in the best interests of the Democratic party and the nation? Yes. Yes it is.

It's not just telling her to take her boobs and go home, as some of her vocal blog supporters are fond of calling it. Her boobs have nothing to do with campaign funding, negative ads, and party distractions. The democrats need a unified front ASAP. You can jab at Wil Wheaton all you want, and you can make snide jokes about grade-school math, but in the end, you're just magnifying the problem, which is fracturing of the party. The left blogosphere is complaining way more about fellow Democrats than Republicans right now. It's been ugly, it's still getting uglier, and it is hurting the cause in a major way. I'm sorry if that rains on Hillary Clinton's parade. I really am. But accepting reality is not the same as promoting sexism. I don't care that Hillary Clinton is a woman. I never have, outside of thinking it would be great to have a woman as President. I care that the Democrats are diligently working towards losing the easiest race they've ever run.

Hillary Clinton should drop out, not because it isn't her right to continue running, but so that we can address the national election before it's too late.

If it's not already too late.
