I moved back to NY from Vegas in 1999 to campaign for Hillary Clinton

I can't believe that I was such a huge Clinton supporter back in the day. Moving back from Vegas wasn't such a hard decision (I really didn't like living in Vegas), but when I heard that Hillary Clinton was going to be given (more or less) retiring Senator Pat Moynihan (one of my all time favorites), I wanted to be part of it!

I supported Bill Clinton in 1992, but became disgusted in his support for the drug war (ah, to be young). He got my support back when www.moveon.org was created to end his impeachment. I was ready for a Senator Clinton. She had my support.

Me and my buddy Eddie used to go to bars in our red part of the state and defend Clinton. That used to be our thing.

Now I am sick of it all.

I never thought Elliot Spitzer would be brought down in a prostitution ring, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Hillary Clinton has nothing to lose by staying in the race. Obama may implode, he may get shot, he may have a heart attack (smoking cigs and playing basketball can kill a man I tells ya!). Staying in the race is of benefit to Hillary Clinton.

And if Obama is "unelectable" and McCain wins, then Hillary can run again next time around. I have no doubt that the Bush family and the Clinton family will be pulling for the same ticket.

Great post mdmc, and I love reading your NYS "inside-baseball" in other posts!

After NH, I thought that maybe a Clinton/Obama ticket would be cool, although I preferred Obama. I no longer think in those terms.

Clinton STILL wins every time.
