If I Was Hillary…
If I was Mrs. Clinton, I’d have known (and I’m guessing she knew) that there were lines in my endorsement speech of Senator Obama that would draw boos from my hardcore supporters, who are still licking their wounds.
I would have addressed them right then and there (which she didn’t). If you’re trying to unify a party and a people, you take advantage of a teaching moment like that. Her choosing not to take on the malcontents, who must be turned into Obama allies in order to attain her self-proclaimed goal of having a Dem take back the White House in ‘09, was unfortunate and perhaps telling.
A stern “get over and past it or suffer the consequences of four more years of national decay” would have endeared her to the party and eventually to the nation. It also would have endeared her to the committee vetting possible running mates.
