Why I Am Hugely Disappointed In Hillary Clinton

As a woman, I would dearly love the right woman to take the chair in the Oval Office. Our country is so long overdue to break that barrier, it's embarrassing. But I am not feeling the love for Hillary.

In the face of doom (no one is saying anything but that she cannot pull the majority even if she takes every state from now until the end of primaries), she has decided to hint at a split ticket with Obama but with her in the top spot, allow her campaign manager to insinuate that Obama is "imitating Ken Starr" for calling on Clinton to release her tax records (something she still refuses to do), her 3AM fear-based ad, and of course, becoming the new Joe Lieberman in claiming that John McCain would make a better president than Obama...

This is ridiculous. She is losing the battle, yet will continue on and further rift those siding with Democrats, risking huge blocs of voters becoming disenfranchised or even angry enough at the eventual Democratic nominee to refuse to vote or vote third party. This game of risk is unwise to play at this tenuous time, and I find my reactions to news about what her new angle is at the moment becoming increasingly more severe.
