Above is a clip of a very angry Hillary Clinton supporter venting this weekend at the Democrats' little shindig. She wonderfully personifies the predictable dead-end of identity-based politics. Will the Democrats be able to reassemble their coalition before November? Not if this woman has anything to say about it. For what it's worth, the woman's name is Harriet Christian. Her sensational YouTube debut has been viewed 829,000 times to date. She was just on Neil Cavuto's show sounding more reasonable than she does in the above clip, but still carping about the "verbal abuse" that Hillary has suffered during this campaign and saying that Obama stole the election. We all know this is how Democratic losers habitually talk - claiming victim status and accusing the victorious side of thievery. For goodness sakes, they're still whining about Florida in 2000 even though all the media recounts showed Bush winning and Gore losing. So here's your exit question, and it's a pregnant one for both whiny Democrats and the practitioners of identity politics: If Obama had been on the losing end, would things be playing out with any less bitterness?
