I wondered if it would come down to this...
Ad: 'Hillary Clinton does not respect our people' - Ben Smith's Blog - Politico.comMaybe I'm imagining things, but the infighting is a LOT worse this election cycle than I've seen in the past.The radio ad aired by one of Obama's labor allies re-injects ethnicity into the Democratic primary contest in sharp terms.
"Hillary Clinton does not respect our people," the ad says in Spanish (original and Clinton campaign translation after the jump), referring to the lawsuit that failed today to shut down special caucus sites on Las Vegas' strip. "Hillary Clinton is shameless."
It's almost rising to the level of fratricide.
I can understand Hillary's desperation. This is something she's fought for, something she's worked for - she sees this as her right, and someone's trying to take it from her.
This is also her last chance. She goes down in flames, she's going to have a hard time persuading the DNC to back her in another try. Plus, time is really working against her. We can have an elderly male President - there's precedent. But an elderly female President? Nah, that won't fly.
So how will she stick the knife in? Or will someone else stab her in the back first?

Check out these articles today, and follow the links if you can...I understand "Judicial Watch" has been swamped and may be unavailable. Looks like the chickens may be coming home to roost. And we haven't even started the main campaign. This year may be very enlightening.

Enlightening - and ugly.
This might be the year the Democratic party implodes. We're seeing the really nasty parts - and I can't honestly see how it can be appealing to a large number of voters.
