There is no doubt that Senator Clinton is a talented and an extraordinarily intelligent person. Her tragic flaw is her belief that only she
is capable of leading. It is this that has caused her to engage in an
effort to demean her opponent and engage in the kind of campaign that
she once decried as "the politics of personal destruction." It is this
that I call her narcissism, and the degree to which it has damaged not
only the Democratic chances in November, but also her reputation --
defines the pathological self-destruction that so often follows from
narcissistic behavior
This has gone on too long, and should end now. Former President
Clinton has argued that all the states should be given a chance to
vote. They should have that chance. And, if this campaign were focused
on issues and a debate over competing visions of leadership, I would
say, "Let it continue."
But this has not been the case. Given the behavior of the Clinton
campaign to date, and the expectation this behavior will continue, I
believe that prolonging this agony will only create deeper division.
For this reason, it should end now.
My fellow superdelegates should wait no longer. As party leaders, we
are uniquely positioned, and have the responsibility, to speak out.
Indecision only serves to enable bad behavior. It is time for us to
either demand that the behavior change, or act to end this now.
