Wait a Minute

It's not the money quote, but it's the part that stopped me today in John Dickerson's piece on Hillary's plea for unity and how it won't work.

The Clinton supporters I've been talking to are a stubborn lot. They don't find her as persuasive as they once did because they think she's supporting Obama only to keep her political future alive.

I mean, my theory is that she's supporting Obama for a) the sake of party unity, b) so that the Republican doesn't win, and c) because we live in what is supposed to function more or less as a democracy in which voters decide things. But these people say no, when she supports Obama she's cynical and wrong. I have to admit it—there's a certain fascination, morbid but certain all the same, to be found in people who are completely, totally, 180 degrees wrong. Human nature, I suppose. There's nowt so queer as folk, is there?
