Because he has no answer, that's what he gives. It serves Mr. Sweeny's emotional needs rather than being insightful or analytical. It's the sort of smoke screen we're used to reading in newspapers. It's why newspapers are dying a slow death. Mr. Sweeny’s non-anwer answer is merely a display of wishful thinking. Because he has no answer, that’s what he gives.

As a result, she has a wonderful collections of skeletons in her closet that the McCain Republicans would just love to present to the public. From what I can see, the tactic that McCain and his pro-war buddies have chosen is: -- first to discredit and destroy Obama so that the Democrat superdelegates choose Hillary as their nominee; and then -- to swift-boat Hillary by presenting all the sleazy deals and relationships that she has been a part of over the years and thereby win the general election. William Safire called Hillary a "congenital liar". http://www.hillaryproject.com/index.php?/en/story-details/hillary_is_a_congenital_liar_william_safire Imagine what the neo-cons could do with the various misadventures he describes when Hillary becomes the Democratic nominee! As for the Michigan and Florida primaries: "Sen. Hillary Clinton signed a pledge not to "campaign or participate" in the Michigan or Florida Democratic primaries. She participated in both primaries and is campaigning in Florida. Which proves, again, that Hillary Clinton is a liar." http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?articleId=0853268a-d982-4190-81e8-740ae942f510 A general election choice between McCain and Clinton would drive a lot of people like me to either sit out the election or to vote for some third party candidate.

The DNC said Michigan and Florida primaries wouldn't count because those states moved their primaries up too early. Dean urged candidates to remove their names from the ballot, and Obama did so in Michigan, but not Florida. Hillary won both states, and now wants the delegations seated. What's ironic is that this is the same party whose members screamed "Count Every Vote" after the disputed 2000 election. Now, it's count some votes, not others.
