This booing of Hillary, I think, is an unusual and rare progress for the Progressives.
I think what's happening here is the same movement that happened in Massachusetts last year. One gubernatorial candidate, Deval Patrick, had no experience, no ideas with any definition and reeked of socialism. But he was a minority and gave nice speeches. He also had a nearly monosyllabic campaign slogan that fit so nicely on a bumper sticker. The moonbats quickly threw over the established Bay State candidates and voted in Deval.
They are doing the same thing here...throwing Hillary under the bus and getting behind Obama because...wait for it...it feeeels good. They are liberals, after all.
By the way, Deval Patrick has proved so far in one year to be inept at politics. He had a few mini-scandals within his first few months that only a rookie would allow to happen. And, most importantly, he has not been able to accomplish, well, anything. The office might as well be vacant, as Deval is completely ineffectual. That's a good thing for Massachusetts, but not on a national level. I hope Obama does not get the nomination.

On the contrary, I hope Obama does get the nomination. It would be an interesting contrast between lefty charisma and common sense governing, represented by the GOP. I think voters want someone who knows their way around the White House in war time... even if the Democrats don't.

The Obama candidacy tests how truly committed the Democrats are to Affirmative Action. Will they turn our highest elected office over to a man merely because he’s glib and has a black father? After all, can anyone name one important piece of legislation Obama has sponsored in his very brief time in the US Senate. If Obama were white, people would rightly not take him serious. As is, he fits what you rightly describe as the quixotic side of Democratic party politics. If it’s implausible or transparently absurd but feels good, do it. Why not meet with Iran’s mad mullahs? Why not go chat with North Korea’s mass-murdering dictator? The mullahs only want to annihilate Israel with nuclear weapons. Kim only runs death camps. Obama can promote such amoral poppycock and be treated like a genius by the boobs in the Democrat Party.
