She then gets the experience and the places herself in a good position for running in 2012.

I'm a Clinton democrat, and I well remember this same strategy at play in the primaries - constant media noise before every primary that had Obama ahead by unrealistic amounts, constant calls for her to drop out, pundits constantly talking about how inevitable Obama was. And then the primary would come and Clinton would win by large numbers. Towards the end, she won by huge numbers in Kentucky and WV (over 40%). As we say over at the Confluence, this is a haka against you. (A haka is a maori war dance used to intimidate enemies). You're being played, made to think that all is lost so you stay home and don't vote. Don't believe it for a second! Look at those large undecideds in all the polls. Do you really believe that's true just days before the election? If those people were Obama supporters, they would say so. They are McCain supporters. Plus, pollsters are getting an 80% hangup rate and they are modelling more democrats in their polls than exist in real life. And they are forgetting about us PUMA's. They want you to believe we are only a handful. But if you were to go to Pennsylvania and Ohio, you would find thousands of us canvassing and calling for McCain every day. We are democrats and we are working our hearts out for McCain. There is no poll that is taking us into account. I've already cast my vote for McCain here in Oregon. And I think that even blue Oregon is going to be a lot closer than anyone believes. Don't believe the lying media! Just vote! I think John McCain is going to win.

McCain wants to change Washington while Obama wants to change the fundamentals of America. With an Obama White House, and a Pelosi-Reid Congress, there will be a drastic change the relationship between citizens and our government as we've known it for over 2 centuries. You know you're a hard Lefty when George McGovern calls you extreme. I believe that the pollsters are going to be surprised.
