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

I do not believe that Ms. Clift is sexist, but do find her article and its title very arrogant. Besides, she does not seem to understand some political basics, namely that the nomination is decided at the convention not at blogs or by partisan articles in the media and not even by the pledges of the delegates before the convention. Clinton may well lose this nomination, but contrary to Ms. Clift???s partisan opinion piece she has not lost it yet.

Talk about sore losers, I am amazed with the lack of class from the Hillary Clinton supporters, life is only fair if everything goes the way of the Clinton supporters! Talk about classless, blame the sexism game, I don't recall any death threats, vandalization or out right bigotry being leveled toward the Clinton campaign, but go right ahead and make an excuse and cry sexism! Talk about bitter, I use to be a strong Clinton supporter, however, the negativity is what lost my vote, if anyone wants to place blame from the Clinton supporters, you should start with her campaigning, she ran a poor campaign and did not target groups she should have strongly went after. You win with class and you lose with class, but I guess someone needs to tell that to the Clinton supporters. I think the most stupid thing I've heard is that Clinton supporters would rather vote for MCCain, if Hillary can't win, go ahead! Our economy is garbage, our dollar is worth nothing, our Gross Domestic Product is subpar, gas prices are continuously rising and our foreign policy is a joke, we will still have an unnecessary war going on in Iraq with thousands of innocent soldiers killed for what? Go right ahead, show Obama how you really feel. Your not hurting him, your hurting your country & your party, but I guess logic was never in the scenario. Ignorance is truly at an all time high.

Harley: who knew you could cut and paste? Everyone knows the garbage that you write about women, etc. Go home and play with your dolls.

Comment:
AMERICAN HERO - not John McCain, he only had 20hrs of combat experience and had crashed 5 jets before being shot down and captured, he was NEVER tortured, and LIED to America's POWs when he SWORE he would never use his POW status for political gain. He also DOES NOT support our troops as is evident by hi no show/no vote for the new GI BILL.
or
ISLAMIC SYMPATHUZER - Is showing compassion to fellow Americans, and humans in general makes you a "sympathizer", so be it. Hell of a lot better than the "blow them up let god sort them out" mentality of a BUSH/CLINTON/MCCAIN. (oh yeah what exactly is a sympthUzer...lol)

EXPERIENCE AND WISDOM - Brought up poor, not the son of a Navy Admiral who had everything spoon fed to him, not the man who left his "POOR" wife only to marry his FILTHY RICH WIFE 3 weeks later, not that guy.
Instead a man who has lived in a less than desirable conditions (to say the least) WORKED his way through school, actually received and more importantly RETAINED his education. has been in service of his community since he began his political career, has NEVER swayed from his CHARACTER, unlike others. That would be Obama
or
INEXPERIENCE AND FOOLISHNESS - After being strung along through the Naval Academy (remember daddy is an Admiral) and being the big partier on campus, SOME HOW became a "pilot" (by title only, if you look at his record), during his whopping 20hrs of "combat" he crashed 5 jets, and then was shot down and captured, Now he does have some experience...making propaganda films for the VC and in SCANDAL and being a CROOK, look up Charles Keating. As for being a "FOOL" Mr. McCain, with out prompting from Judas Lieberman, what is the difference between Sunni and Shia?...need I say more, oy yeah, How many troops are in Iraq, are we at "pre-surge" levels now?

Wow - after reading through these comments and article, I think a big point was missed - Winners should lead by example and win gracefully and graciously if they expect the loser to do the same. The amount of namecalling and putdowns by Obama supporters to Hillary and her supporters (of which I am one) will make it very tough to unite our party.

P.S. Hey Harley aka H Davidson - changing your name doesn't mean we all don't recognize the same old nasty rants you've been posting redundantly in other sections. We all know you hate Hillary so try coming up with something constructive - like why you support Obama.

Sathena, I too grew up in Europe - though am American - and in this campaign I've been really disheartened by my fellow female Americans - who seem prejudiced, racist, illogical, shrewish, narrow and demanding - when the situation doesn't merit such behavior (not that any situation ever would).

I almost could say I don't like "American women" for this display of so-called "feminism" -- tantrums when their Heroine doesn't win the prize - like it's supposed to be a happy ending a la Hollywood rather than a serious, real-life political race. It has tinges of the unreal - like too much TV (Sex and the City?)

Re: Being older and hopefully wiser

I agree. McGreen (BO) should sit-down with his elders so that they can instill reality. Unfortunately at the end of the day, McGreen is probably going to be "SCHOOLED" by McSame.

Sad, but true. Without a doubt this country needs to get back on the right track after 7 long years of NEOCON-ARTIST rule. And that's why I will probably vote Libertarian this time around.

Or based on reality (as I just mentioned) I may be forced to vote for McSame whether I like it or not.

Honestly, I think that McSame is definitely the most qualified, but like most of you here, I fear 4 more years of status quo.

I need to keep praying on it! This is obviously one of the MOST important elections in modern-day history!

Nobody but Obama would have been more polite to Hillary on the campaign trail. The only way she could "win" was to put him down somehow. He didn't bother doing the same to her, not nearly to the extent of the damage she caused to him.

I'm appalled by Clinton supporters too - since when do we "win" as women by cheating, whining, screaming "foul" when in fact things are totally FAIR? That's what losers do, male and female alike.

I find this title offensive -- and sexist. When has Hillary Clinton whined during this campaign? She has gotten angry and expressed grievances, but the word "whining" doesn't fit.
The notion that this was a contest between race and gender because of their similar ideas is total nonsense. This was a personality contest with too little attention paid to qualifications and capabilities.
If we Clinton supporters are angry, it's because Obama ran a dirty and negative campaign, as has been his history, And the press let him get away with it.
He was dismissive about her experience as First Lady, referring to it as having teas with world leaders. He played into the stereotype of successful women being ruthless, running a campaign ad stating she would say anything to get elected.
Worst of all, he accused Clinton and her supporters of playing the race card when they criticized him for things that had nothing to do with race -- -- like his drug use or Bill Clinton calling Obama's claim to have consistently opposed the Iraq war a "fairy tale." Worst of all, he implied that Hillary's comment about Lyndon Johnson playing a role along with MLK in getting civil rights legislation passed somehow insulted the memory of MLK.
To top it off, he blocked a revote in Michigan when there was ample time to hold one as well as an offer of financing to cover it.
Had he shown some integrity and taken the high road during the campaign, he would have had a greater possibility of winning over Clinton's supporters.. .

I really get fed up with journalists and the media trying to tell Americans how they think. I think that these journalists and the media are out of touch with what we want. They just come to a conclusion and expect us to just accept it. Well--we don't. I am hoping that Hilary Clintion takes this to the convention. Delegates can change their votes. If she ends up with the popular vote, that is because she is the stronger candidate. It shows that "we the people" believe she would make the best president and the delegates should put their
support behind her at the convention. Stop trying to rewrite the facts. Just because some journalists say
it's true, does not make it true. Stop supporting the weaker candidate and start speaking up for Hilary Clinton, the person who really deserves to be our next president.

When I unthoughtfully picked olderwiser, it meant to me something different than it might convey. I always hung around my grandfather and his buddies when I was a kid. They would bemoan the vicissitudes of age and try to illustrate the concept of wisdom to me, for which I am still grateful. Their point was that you really never become wise, but that each day you get a little wiser than the day before if you never give up trying to learn, all the while pursued by a determined ignorance one step behind you.
So, Newsweek being my first and only blog, I chose a name that reflected those warm memories. Some of the replies that I have received have let me know that I probably sent an entirely different message. No problem. But, you are welcome to be both older and wiser than I am and without needing any proof at all, I immediately concede these to you and look forward to our November celebration at a locale of your choice.

You don't have to be racist to not vote for Obama. This is the most digusting argument right out of Rove's tactis. You were unpatriotic if you were against Bush and you are racist if you are against Obama. It will not fly on the general election.
