Hillary, You Didn’t Win. Now Don’t Whine

Me: Why Obama Is Having A Real Problem With Loose Cannon,Racist Preachers He Says He ''Barely Knows''.[indeed,Pflagers appearence as a supporter,observed on the Obama website,was for some strange reason quickly removed two days ago].

I find it quite humorous that those few pious Clinton supporters whose dogma will not allow them to face reality as determined by the will of the voters can possibly accuse Obama supporters of "ignorance". How smart was it for Clinton to buy Bu$hCo's incredibly transparent sales pitch to march us to war in Iraq? And then two years later, to extend this imperial debacle by voting for a resolution to allow an attack on Iran? And the arrogance of calling the former President of the Harvard Law review "stupid" is beyond belief!

She's now got to muster the grace to lose. I don't believe she has it in her. I did feel sorry for her, but now it's just pity. Go Obama

The point here is that many don't like Hillary not because she's a WOMAN but because she's a CLINTON. I may support Obama but he earned that support. Was I biased against Hillary? Sure, and her being a woman had not one iota to do with it!!!

Her saying that she's losing because of sexism is a tactic to bring in women to vote for her. I certainly don't blame her for doing it but the difference is that I recognize it for what it is, a campaign tactic. Is there sexism out there? Absolutely but that isn't why she's lost this primary. It's the running as almost an incumbant on the wrong message, her vote for war in Iraq, her campaign not planning beyond Super Tuesday, financial mismanagement, ignoring the causaus states, etc. The list goes on and on. Claiming that if this were a winner take all campaign and she would have won doesn't hold water because her husband had no problems winning under the current rules. FL & MI? She and her campaign agreed to the actions taken against these states.

That all said, I would have voted for Hillary in the General Election because I don't want another Republican in the White House. 8 long years of Lies & Deceit has been more than enough.

It's always "whining" when it's the OTHER PERSON's complaint.

Interesting. There has been much analysis as to what went wrong with Clinton's campaign. The general consensus, by both male and female strategists, is that the campaign was badly managed in the first half of the campaign season. The Clinton campaign did not have a plan in place for after Super Tuesday in February. After all, the media had pretty much proclaimed her coronation a year ago. They initially had over $100 million in their coffers to play with and in some accounts over spent on ridiculous things at the beginning. They ignored the caucus states and instead focussed on what they considered to be the states that mattered. You can't claim media bias or sexism for the fact that the Obama campaign was much better informed and organized in the caucus states. Clinton fell behind in the delegate count and has never been able to recoup. As they say, she should have "watched her left flank" (for you feminists out there, this refers to battle) Sexist???

I remember very well the round-the-clock media coverage of the crazy Rev. Wright thing as well as the non-stop analysis of Obama's comments in San Franscisco. Pro-Obama Bias????

There is no doubt that there has been some sexism in this primary season. It goes with the territory. As our youth would say "suck it up". Margaret Thatcher embraced the nickname "Iron Lady" and Indira Ghandi would probably bought a case of "nutcrackers" and given them out as party favors. The true female world leaders that we have seen would have relished as they dismissed any stupid sexist remarks. They NEVER would have been caught pulling the sexism card as an excuse!

The media that I have seen on all networks has constantly praised Clinton's toughness and resiliency. However, I suppose you can make a case for anything if you really want to.

The truth of the matter is that Clinton lost this nomination through a series of bad decisions, not through sexism.

Oh, not that it matters, but I am a 58 year old liberated female,

I'm glad this article comes from a female. I agree totally. I was originally for Clinton, until her campaign started using questionable tactics when they realized Senator Clinton was going to have a credible challenger. After Bill Clinton's remarks in South Carolina, I mailed my ballot in--for Obama.

ALRIGHT DSROBERTS! I agree we need to do anything to stop Obama. If McCain can beat him, which he can, then he's our man!

I don't think hillary was shunned by many because she is a woman, she was shunned because she is Hillary Clinton. Her past in Arkansas and Washing speaks for itself. She is not the waoman for the job.

Amen.This is just another example of the Clintons being unable to accept reality and chosing to blame everyone but themselves for a poor outcome.Of course she expected to win but the truth is her campaign was outsmarted by Obama and his staff.The better candidate by far is going to win and no amount of phony excuses can change that fact.I for one will be glad to see Hillary go, the sooner the better.

Thank you for the commentary. I believe Hillary claiming sexism as the cause for her losses undermines the ability of legitimate claims of sexism to be heard; she is the boy crying wolf, so when a real case of sexism comes up, no one will take it seriously. I have found her campaign and her presentation of the issues to be frankly disingenuous and filled with hal-truths and hand-waving when it comes to the nuts and bolts of her plans; she manipulates facts and unlike both Obama and McCain, she has never stood up for anything unpopular because it was right. To add insult to injury, she and Ms Ferraro have made their idea of feminism a vehicle to justify blatant racism, and I have been offended by her campaign.

Amen. This is just another in a long line of examples where the Clintons complain about everything and everybody without accepting any blame.Hillary lost fair and square to a campaighn that was better organized and quite honestly,presented a better candidate.Obama is a far superior choice to end the politics as usual game and move us beyond this destructive game of partisan politics.
