Inside the Mind of a Hillary Clinton Supporter

In the wake of the DNC Rules and Bylaws committee this weekend in Washington D.C as well as the largely symbolic Puerto Rican Primary, here is the observation of one political blogger on why some Clinton supporters may be threatening to vote for McCain.

Bardscove:

Hillary supporters aren’t angry at Obama. They’re angry at the Democratic Party that stood by when she was belittled and refused to celebrate her victories as those for women as well. They either ignored her or participated in trying to push her out. Only late in the nomination race did they essentially begin to say, “Oh, of course she can stay in.” We’re supposed to think that was sincere. We’re supposed to think she needs the permission of people who call themselves “leaders” of the Democratic Party who have done everything they can to offend Hillary supporters as not the young, interesting people. They’ve allowed this myth of her being a racist to stand, despite her record as a champion of civil rights. And they’ve failed to address and denounce the sexism that even CNN analysts who support Obama have, as of today, begun agreeing has been prevalent and mean.
