Who is MoveOn backing, specifically for president for 2008?
The MoveOn leadership knows that Clinton will be the nominee and that the membership if allowed to endorse would end up with Obama or Edwards. The only solution to this problem which maximizes the general-election influence of MoveOn is to have no endorsement. By the way, that’s also the solution that Hillary Clinton prefers. She doesn’t need the endorsement to win the nomination on February 5, but she also doesn’t want to appear to have “beaten” the netroots. She’s going to have enough trouble with them as it is when she has her immaculately planned epater les sinistres moment in May or June. I wonder if she’s having casting sessions now for the symbolic sinistre in question — Sistah Souljah got herself a couple extra years of career out of it for herself.
