Out and Down

Clinton's next battle will be with the painful reality of loss.

THAT ABOUT SAYS IT ALL... 8v{)

When writing this article Suzanne Smalley and Evan Thomas use many quotes from reputable sources such as:

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin: uses the terms ???deranged nacissism of the Clintons???; ???Hillaryites???; ???emotional??? women.

Several of her fellow senators???

A participant of the call who declined to be identified???

Some members of the House???

Someone who was on this call and asked to remain anonymous???

A top adviser who did not wish to be identified???

Another aide, who also asked to not be identified???

A Hillary strategist who did not want to be quoted???

One of them, asking to remain anonymous???

Some suggest???

An adviser who did not wish to be named???


If I had written this article when I was in school I would have received an F.

All of these anonymous comments from so-called close advisers are not worth much. They are portrayed as being "back-stabbers." This article is speculative and based upon tips from people who are not wiling to speak up in the light of day. Shame on them! And, shame on the reporter and publisher for writing the study based on rumor and inuendo. This could have been written fro an historical perspective. What is the record of presidential candidates who came so close falling into depression? There are no facts or evidence suppiied here.

We, each of us has made past mistakes, we voted from some lam brain presidents, who have placed us into debt to foreign countries, diseccted any future relationship with the Arab world in favor or Irareal . We need a change, Hillary or Barack will give us that, just Hillary would have come with better cridentials and experience. But change is better than what we have now.

Thats all the media can talk about is Hillary. Its over so move on to the issues at hand. Why don't you focus on Obama. Obama is a dud, radical, extreme liberal, woman hater, follower, and will damage this country if elected. I'm a Democrat and supported Hillary 100% . In November, I will vote for McCain along with the other women and non-racist people who know exactly what I'm talking about.

Outraged is the word! This article had NEVER been written if it was Obama that lost! "Can`t treat a man that way!"
This just shows what Senator Clinton has been battling all these months - from the media and others. It is outrageous! And she`s still keeping her passion for politics and America alive, and throwing her full support behind this young, inexperienced colleague, in a very gracious way.

I think women - although I love the opportunity to have a say in this chat room (and I really hope the people in Newsweek read it, too!!!!) - that there should be groups working against this kind of bias journalism, and women should join together again; we`ve been sleepwalking for years! A group to start working for Hillary`s comeback in 4 years would be great. And also include the younger generation, so they can spot what is going on here - instead of just voting rock star....

Depressed, yes and with a great deal of sadness. Perhaps if Senator Clinton had left the campaign earlier she would not have so many unanswered questions - the whys, what ifs and what might have been. Any loss is difficult but something at this level would be difficult for anyone. Time heals to some extent but we always remember.

If offered the VP, I hope she turns it down. The next president is going to have such a mess to clean up that like Hoover, will be blamed for the deepening recession/depression that' will hit. That's the depression you stupid people should be wriiting about. This woman has stood up against far worse than this race. She has more guts and integrity than journalists can comprehend; she'll be back. The Howard Dean's and the rest of the DNC are the biggest group of morons. Lets face it, it's awfully hard to soar like an Eagle when you have Turkey's on the team.

I am sorry retrothyme. Did you read the entire article? Every other example the author gave of a person suffering depression was a man. This article did not make the reference that she would be depressed because she is a woman but because of the total subjugation of one's live and everything in it to gain the office. I am a woman and I believe we need to get away from labeling everything that is not a glowing affirmation of Hilary Clinton as sexist.

I have never seen so much bias,slander and Hypocrisy in the media towards the Clinton's in my 63 years of life.How can you comment about seniority when Obama hasn't achieved anything in the senate, and his only credentials are community work and a promise for a change to what?

EVER FEMALE IN AMERICA SHOULD BE OUTRAGED BY THIS ARTICLE!!!

Depression, yes and a great deal of sadness, too. It would be hard for anyone, let alone at a near accomplishment of this level. Perhaps Senator Clinton would have been better off leaving the campaign earlier rather than fight so hard for something she obviously was not going to win. Now she is left with so many unanswered questions - the whys, what ifs and what might have been. A loss of any kind is difficult and emotional losses, personal losses can be the hardest to understand. Time helps heal but we never completely forget either.

Well its nice to know that years after other men lost in presidentail battles that they also come out of the depression closet. But I dont think this article ever would have been written if just men ran this year. I am trying to understand why "Newswreck" would even think to write something so obviously sexist in this day and age? I would love to have seen the pitch in the meeting room and any self respecting female reporter named Suzanne Smalley who would put thier name on the credit line instead of telling the boys at Newswreck to go /&%¤ themselves. I am not even and Democrat (more of a Republicrat) I find the tone of this article insulting. I think the staff at Newswreck should go down a few prozac and rewrite the article from a more enlightened perspective.

@retrothyme:
Did you not even read the article? Every MAN who was in the article was talked about as having been depressed after he lost a big election.---Adams, Carter, Nixon, Ford, Fisher.

This is not a sexist article. There have been unfair artcles, but this is not really one of them.

Your unreasonable and mis-reading reaction doesn't do anything to help your position.
