Some comments I agree with from bloggers at the Baltimore Sun

I'm sad to say that I've finally crossed the threshold that all the Democratic Elders fear - I hate Hillary Clinton.

I won't vote for her if she is the nominee. She is so violently power hungry that she will do anything to win this election - including setting race relations back 50 years. And she can lie repeatedly about her so-called experience, and then turn around and say "Sorry, I'm tired, I misspoke"... and the media doesn't give her a free pass? She's not so tired that she hasn't with all of her might delayed and/or prevented her tax returns, schedules, and the donor list for the Clinton library out of our view, all the while throwing the "kitchen sink" at her opponent. Are you kidding me? Samantha Power didn't accidentally call her a monster, she had actionable intelligence that she is one and was trying to warn the rest of us.

Are Hillary supporters so blind that they cannot see how manipulative she is? Do they not see how badly she has managed her campaign? Do they not see how whenever she has been put down legitimately in this election she has turned around with a political low-blow (not just to Barack but to the Democratic party) and then spun it as a "rebound?" How's this for a reality check: the only thing she has been politically consistent with is her ability to deceive. I cannot believe I used to be someone who would try to defend her early on in this campaign. She's not only lost my vote, she's lost my respect - not just for her, but for the former president as well.

We are no longer simply choosing between two candidates similar in position, we are deciding the fate of our party, and ultimately this nation - taking a stand against everything that frustrates and angers us about the rancid and stale state of our politics today. And I'm sad to announce that Hillary and her campaign is the primary source of that smell.

I for one say "not this time."

I'm with you, Adam. I started out thrilled that Hillary was going to run. But along the way she and Bill and killed any excitement I had for the first woman running for President. It started with Shahane's comments way back at the beginning about Obama's drug use, and went into high gear after Bill's comments in South Carolina about Jesse Jackson having won there too. Now there are two many instances to number. And if Hillary gets the nomination, I won't vote for John McCain, I'll stay home.
