Crawling Through the Wreckage

I think it was too much espectations for Sen. Clinton and she wanted special treatment on every evant instead of working on the isses and agenda.

Just saw HRC's speech--very impressive.

It was courteous, it was respectful, it was intelligent. It made no apologies. It put her campaign into historical perspective, it highlighted the problems facing our country. In other words, she sounded like Obama.

This, ultimately, is how Obama won. Perhaps she could have stolen his thunder by echoing his theme instead of mocking it.

Guess we'll never know...

They wanted to give her, but she forgot she has to merit it.

Clinton votes for mccaine.. the democratic option.

We just have to remove the f from your name Eleanor. That was just for that "also ran" part. You asked for it.

Also ran? Most biased BS. Give it to them my clintonite friends. Even if they "put" her as VP , just to ridicule her again.

I am tired of hearing about HIllary winning if she were in the Republican primaries where winner takes all. Get over it! The rules are the rules and you play by them. She lost because Obama had a better team managing his campaign. Hopefully these skills will spill over into his presidency and help to move our country forward.

In the end there are so many variables, I think it is hard to predict.One thing we know, many need to be educated about the stance on issue for McCain...If all were educated and knew the facts he would never be elected apart for any other impediment.

Hillary Rosen wrote an article in the Huffington Post saying she wasn't a chip to be played by the Hillary Clinton campaign. However the reverse is true as well, Hillary Clinton cannot give my vote to Barak Obama.

On the 40th anniversary of Bobby Kennedy's death, I remember in 2004 thinking how much Barak Obama reminded me of Bobby Kennedy, and my thinking he was the future of the Democratic Party. If I choose not to vote for Obama, or women like me don't vote for Obama it will be viewed as underlying racism vs real questions that have developed during the campaign. For me race did not really enter the dialog until Rev Wright. I know the Clinton history on race. I am puzzled about Barak Obama's thought on race. The speech he gave did not answer any questions. for me, about what he thought of race, it was a distraction, and verbage.

There is also the issue of the press. I was trying to think of a word Chris Matthews could have used for Senator Obama that would be equal to "***". For Mr Obama would "buck" have worked? Could David Schuster have used the word pimp in the same sentence with one of the Obama daughters,and kept his job.? What about Michelle Bernard saying there would be riots if Obama did not win the nomination. I keep hearing from these appaling people how ungracious Mrs Clinton is......
Hillary Clinton fought hard she won more primaries, maybe more of the popular vote, I think caucuses are pretty meaningless except for a small group of insiders.

If Mrs Clinton's supporters are presumed to be under her control one way or another, I think that is a mistaken assumption. For me it is the choices, and actions of Mr Obama that will matter. He did not decisively enough win this nomination, for many of us it isn't a winner take all situation.
By the way to Chris Matthews, I am a college educated woman, with a fairly high IQ, he is going back to only the uneducated supporte Mrs Clinton.

The comment about Obama winnig small caucus states like Idaho, that he has no chance of winning in November needs to be balanced with Clinton's landslide victories in a few states. There is also no way that Hillary Clinton would win West Virginia and Kentucky in the general Election. Those states will go red once the God, Guns and Gays themes of McCain and the Republicans begin to play.

All that I can say is God Bless America, its a bad world out there, no matter who wins, The Dems say we are in a rcession. The Reps say its getting better. Who to believe. Its time all candidates say what it is. I think we are heading towards a depression. Scary thought, maybe the people need to take a good look and not reelect all the canidates and elect government officials that are for the people.

At her Baruch College event in NYC just a few days ago, Hillary Clinton added her name to a Major League Baseball that was inscribed by the famous New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra with the quote: ???It ain???t over till it???s over.??? Bill Clinton also signed his name to the ball. A photo of it can be seen on ebay. This Yogi Berra quote summarizes the essence of the Clintons??? drive to win and their spirited campaign style. Don???t count them out from politics...just yet.

Nothing HRC suprises anymore. She has come across as disrespectful, arrogant and totally non caring for the candidate or the party. It is like Gov Richardson and others said about her "she feels like she is entitled" to be President of the United States. Somebody needs to really. I don't think HRC will ever be president. THe masses have had a chance to really see her true self, and we don't like it.

I really don't think Sentaor Obama will suffer if he does not pick her as VP... I got two words for those women who say they will vote for John McCain: Supreme Court...

Not to mention the economy, gasoline prices, unemployment and the never ending war in Iraq... I don't see how anybody could vote for a continuation of that situation.

One cannot deny HRC's keen intelligence and political skills.. I hope she will eat her humble pie and get with the party.. We need everybody to win in November.

But if not - oh well.. I am glad the party elders arre taking a stand to let her know that the Clintons are NOT bigger than the PARTY... If she hold out and cause the dems to lose in November, her name will forever be associated with the loss...

Senator Obama will be ok. The country loves him and what he is trying to do for all of us.. HRC is all about HRC. That's all.
