So, who is going to stand up for your rights on tough issues?
Obama showed up and voted against Telecom immunity. Clinton, who has some seriously hard work ahead to stay inevitable, decided she'd rather work on her own campaign than defend your rights.
So, WTF?
This is what I was thinking, and this post sums it up nicely.

* What if Obama lost all of these states by such huge margins (we're talking 25-35% in many states)?
* What if it was Obama who, despite running on name recognition as the inevitable candidate, could only claim his home state and California as major (hard fought) wins thus far?
* What if Obama had negatives in the low to mid 40s?
* What if Obama had low appeal with Independents and virtually no appeal with cross-over Republicans?
* What if Obama lost a majority of the swing states on Super Tuesday?
* What if it was Clinton who lead McCain by 7 points in the latest head to head contest, instead of Obama?
* What if Obama had as much dirt on him as the Clintons do?
* What if Obama brought as much fatigue and divisiveness as the Clintons do?
* What if it was Obama who had to "loan" himself $5 million dollars of his own money just to stay competitive?
* What if Obama trailed in PLEDGED delegates and could only claim a slim (misleading) lead by counting super delegates (party insiders who can change their mind at the drop of a dime and show loyalty through political favors)?
* What if Obama lost 6 out of 8 primaries (perhaps even 8 or 9 in a row) as Hillary Clinton is expected to lose this week?
Go read the original post.
Can anyone honestly say that were the players situations exchanged, that there wouldn't be intense pressure for Obama to pull out of the race?
