David Kurtz Please Don 't.
David, please don't give these rightwing kooks the satisfaction of agreeing with their hate-filled diatribes. Noonan states the obvious about the Hillary dilemma, but she does it with prose soaked in hate, characterizing Democrats as cowardly, craven and racist while she makes her point.
No matter how disappointed we might get with Hillary, she is not the person the wingnuts call her. Even if they say something that sounds like it's true, their motivation is totally different from Democrats. Don't give them any credit or retroactive validity for their screeds against her.
She deserves better from us.

How far off track is Hillary's campaign? It's so bad even Peggy Noonan is making sense, painful as that is to say.<./I>

Sorry, Dale. I just read Noonan's column again, and it's just about spot on.
I've read lots of hate-filled diatribes, and this just doesn't qualify.
I can see why the superdelegates are reluctant to cross the Clinton establishment, but they now have a clear winner in the race for the nomination. Get behind him, for God's sake.
In dealing with Bush, the Democratic congressional leadership has indeed been cowardly and craven. Over and over.
Now, in dealing with Clinton, they are largely acquiescing in appeals to racism.
No, Noonan is right.
Dems need to grow some balls.
