Until today, I have been proudly telling anyone who asks that we have two great Democratic candidates for president and that I support both equally.  I still believe that either Obama or Hillary would execute the office capably and particularly if blessed with a true Democratic majority in House and Senate could make significant headway towards repairing the damage of the Bush catastrophe.  I think they'd both make a great president.
But I no longer think Hillary is a great candidate.

I had been forgiving Hillary her increasingly sharp attacks with the rationale that she might have been trying to help innoculate Obama from the inevitable attacks he will face if he wins the nomination.  That it helps her cause would be acceptable, but she hadn't really crossed any lines until today.  Today, however, it became clear that Hillary has fallen prey to the Iron Law of Institutions and is no longer operating for the good of the country, but purely for her own selfish interest.
The bruhaha over Geraldine Ferraro's comments is not just a tempest in a teapot.  As I indicated in my first post here on TPMCafe, the "racist two-step" clearly indicates one thing: a lack of leadership.  What Mr. Ferraro is saying is completely unacceptable in any public figure, and the reaction by the Clinton campaign makes it clear that they have not just read the Rove Playbook, they're operating by it.  
We don't need to become Repugnican to beat them at the ballot box.  I want more, better Democrats, and Hillary has just shown me that she is not.  She is self-serving, and that is the last thing we need in the White House.
