But one argument seems indisputably true: Obama is on the brink of the Democratic nomination without having had to confront head-on the evidence about his general election challenges.<\/p>\n<p>That is why some friends describe Clinton as seeing herself on a mission to save Democrats from themselves. Her candidacy may be a long shot, but no one should expect she will end it unless or until every last door has been shut.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s nice to know that Republicans aren&#8217;t the oonly stupid idiots in the country &#8211; apparently Democrats aren&#8217;t smart enough to pick the right candidate without Mother Clinton to hold their hand.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the picture of McCain? That&#8217;s just to remind everyone about <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.washingtonpost.com\/the-trail\/2007\/11\/08\/post_187.html\" target=\"_blank\">that string of waitresses <\/a>that can attest to the fact that Hillary didn&#8217;t pay them or tip them in her typical elitist way she has about her.
