More election fallout: liberal website comment sections meltdown over 2008 Hillary v. Obama contest

January 21, 5:06 PMPost-Partisan ExaminerD.K. Jamaal

The search for the soul of the Democratic Party continues, with some Obamacrats now questioning the choice (error?) they made in 2008 in selecting Obama over Hillary.
The argument goes that while Hillary might have ended her first year in the same Obamacratic disappointments, she would have at least been a fighter where Obama is not even trying.

The Hillary buyer’s remorse is coming to a head in the comments sections of prominent left-wing blogs, with Clintonistas infuriating Obamabots with gleeful, smug ‘I told you so’ declarations.

At the Huffington Post, blogger and MSNBC analyst Craig Crawford rocked the boat with a cross posted article provacatively titled ‘What If Hillary Had Won?’

One of the comments from a PUMA: “Would it have made a difference if an inexperienced unqualified pilot had landed in the Hudson instead of Sully? Of course it would have made a difference.”

Another: “I agree, you don't send your young,cool guy with the smooth words to tackle a major crisis. You send the Bitch!”

But a counterargument from a Clinton-hating Obamacrat doesn't buy it:
“We're WAY better off with Obama than we would be with any of the alternatives! I shudder to think about version 2.0 of Whitewater and Travelgate were Hillary in the oval office. Not to mention Bill on the prowl for all the interns he can eat. No, thank you.”

At Matthew Yglesias’s website, things turned profane when a Hillary supporter with a long memory called out Yglesias for suggesting that Obama has governed with the exact even-keeled pragmatism he allegedly promised during his campaign:

“Oh. My. God. Please stop this revisionist bull****…
One candidate demonstrated through her rhetoric that Republicans were to blame for our current crisis, and that she would be taking a tough (partisan, in fact) approach to the Democratic agenda: identifying allies and villians, issuing threats, knocking heads in Congress…

The other candidate, the one Matt supported, said that that approach was doomed to failure; rather, the country needed someone to transcend partisan divides in order to find common ground on those issues where consensus could be reached. In essence, this candidate argued that really everyone pretty much agreed with the Democratic agenda, it will just take someone fresh and nice (not that old “likable enough” bitch) in order to get it through Congress…

That this approach actually held sway with half of the Democratic primary electorate is maddening. That people like Matt want disingenuously argue that this didn’t happen is infuriating.”

A sample response from a rabid Obamabot:
“We’ve got PUMA’s talking about Hillary again? Seriously? Now I now things are totally ****ed. The last thing people should be bitching about is the g-ddamn 2008 primary. This is a full on meltdown.”

And the great Obamacratic Party explosion continues.

I like this ending statement in the above posted article.

And the great Obamacratic Party explosion continues.


Well, the explosion make the thunderous noise on 5/31/2008 - a day I shall never forget.  And, yes, most Hillary-supporters will not forget that day.


So, this meltdown the author refers to... was in the Huffington Post blog?

The Democratic, equal-opportunity for all (except if you are a woman not of the far-left view) party is now suffering what may be the single greatest karma payback I have seen since the Carter years by the electorate as a whole.

For as angry as I have been about 2008, I now think it may have been for the best for Hillary.  Her stamina, reputation and most of all respect by others grew more and more as she carried on in the face of her own party's gaming of the primary...and the further the primary went on, the MORE she won. 

Hillary is now less seen as devisive as she is now seen as a tower of strength.  Point blank, Hillary is the poster child for "No Quit".  She is less seen as a party-hack, but more seen as a woman of loyalty to her country and when the POTUS called upon her, she answered that call with no regard to what that same man did to her and her husband...labeling them "racists".  Her country came first.  The pragmatic approach she took on her visit to Haiti tells the American people it is not about her "face time", it was about solving a problem.

And the media will have less play.  Hillary earned the respect of O'Reilley and most of Fox (save Hannity and Beck, but then again, being respected by them may be a curse unto itself.)  CNN...ratings collapse....MSNBC....may be joining Conan as out of work.  Air America...vanished into thin air.  When John Stewart even mocks your blatant name-calling attacks...well, you have been exposed as the ridiculous that you are.  The pundits won't have the same power in 2012 they had in 2008.  Americans are far more skeptical of them all.

I think many voters are going to fear yet another round of "we have a mandate by the people" by the Republicans because of Brown's victory on Tuesday just as the Dems felt after Obama won.  Reality, neither candidate won by any vast majority.

And the independents, the moderates are going to be wary and looking for a candidate that has the ability to reach both sides of the aisle....and bottom-line, behave as an intelligent adult rather than an entitled brat.

2008 may have been Hillary's war for cooperation and pragmatism in our government...for "smart power."

2012 will be her victory.

I love this site.  I am sick of the Obots who will say "yeah he sucks but we would have been worse off under Hillary"  That's what they think I say I guess we will find out when she becomes President.  She is number 45

I've read many blogs, and I can tell you for the past 6 months, many posters feel that Hillary would have been better than Obama.

Well said VH!
