Hillary Clinton: The next Ralph Nader?

avatar

With all of the harsh rhetoric and doubt continuously pushed by the Clinton campaign against Barack Obama, Hillary may be putting herself in the unenviable position of being the scapegoat should Obama lose the election.

Already, the Republicans are using her words directly to attack the Obama campaign, but more importantly, she is sowing the seeds of doubt within the democratic party as well as creating a vicious partisanship between her supporters and Obama supporters, making it much more difficult for the Obama campaign to heal the wounds and bring the party together. 

How will Obama rally those individuals that truly believe that Clinton was somehow robbed of the nomination back to the voters booth for him.  It doesn't require a large number of voters to stay home, Nader's results were very small, but they were just large enough to throw the election.
