Like Dana, I find the "Civil War" storyline to be a stretch -- on the whole, most Hillary Clinton supporters are getting on board with Obama. But when the McCain campaign starts using whole chunks of her ads and remarks from the primaries, it's a reminder of just how brutal her attacks really were.
Now is her opportunity to take a real stand and call out McCain for his fear-mongering in the advertisment above. Anything less, and the analysis offered by this Hillary Clinton supporter will become true:
At BEST, Hillary will be seen as powerless and unable to exercise leadership in regard to her supporters. At WORST, she will be seen as conniving to sabotage her own party at the most crucial political moment in a generation. Either way, her career will be over.
