The drumbeat...

There's been more publicly expressed (at least on the op-ed page of the New York Times) worry in the past couple of days that (a) Hillary Clinton is willing to "burn the village to save it" and (b) an Obama presidency would have to struggle to get support from the party machinery, or at least the party machinery that's aligned with the Clintons. I've expressed both those worries before, and really don't know what do to with them except be filled with dread, which doesn't seem very productive. 

The offending columns are from David Brooks yesterday and Maureen Dowd today

Update: Two more columnists chime in with the same message today. Nick Kristof compares Clinton (actually he says "the Clintons", showing his bias) to Ralph Nader. Ouch. Gail Collins adds, with an analogy to a bizarre sounding old kids TV show, that there's little in Clinton's history that suggests she won't push on until the end, whenever that may be. 

Dread, fear and loathing, my three buddies...
