If Obama loses this election, Democrats have only themselves to blame...

Here are some excerpts from a fantastic Maureen Dowd piece in today's New York Times...

High Anxiety in the Mile-High City...

There were a lot of bitter Clinton associates, fund-raisers and supporters wandering the halls, spewing vindictiveness, complaining of slights, scheming about Hillary’s roll call and plotting trouble, with some in the Clinton coterie dissing Obama by planning early departures, before the nominee even speaks.

Ed Rendell, the governor of Pennsylvania, compared Obama to the passive-aggressive Adlai Stevenson and told The Washington Post that Obama gives six-minute answers and “is not exactly the easiest guy in the world to identify with.” (Rendell is planning to vote for Hillary in the Roll Call)

"People just constantly underestimate the narcissism, beyond narcissism, of the Clintons", said one top Democrat. "They keep thinking they can manage them. I wish Obama would just tell them 'Shut Up. You guys have only cared about yourselves for much too long. Get over it.'"
