That would seem to be the Clinton strategy: Win or destroy any chance the Democrats may have for winning the nomination. And yet, the kicker is this: Even if she wins the nomination, she will have made things so toxic within the Democratic party that she will lose. So for right now, the Clinton campaign is playing make-believe, that even her insiders believe she cannot win.
(H/T to Balloon Juice)
I've mentioned this about six weeks ago, that Clinton may win a nomination that will guarantee her loss. And if she were as delusional as Chimpy, I'd think that she was betting she could neutralize the toxic stew of disaffected young people, African-Americans, wary independents and incensed Republicans that would greet her run for the general election. But I don't think she is that deluded.
She may be trying to poison the well this time around so that she is poised to run again in 2012. But that way lies madness, for she is truly insane if she thinks that such treachery will be overlooked or forgiven.

That would be burning the bridges behind her along with the house.
Then she could add 'Demolition Expert' to her resume.
even if her scorched earth policy wasnt a SE policy -- not ONE disaffected republican would ever vote for her......
the question is how much support does she give Obama when he gets the nomination.
the clintons to me symbolize all that is wrong bush as well -- win at all costs and damn the good of the nation
I don't think that Hillary would give anything beyond token support to Obama. She probably feels a bit betrayed ever since the Iowa Caucus.
