What Hillary Should Say Now

I didn't get to finish my whole comment but I was going to say to remind Democrats not to vote for Obama just because he carries the Democrat moniker, but rather because of his record, of which there isn't much to go by other than he can deliver a speech.

I find it hilarious that the left gets so upset when someone on the right treats them with the same disrespect that they afford the right. Please define how Gov Palin was any more "snippy" than Biden and Obama were in their respective speeches. Please remind black voters not to vote for Obama just because he presents his black side more than his equal white side, and remind liberals not to blindly vote for the Democratic ticket just because








just beb

The Shorelly comment was true for me until the last statement. It's a no-brainer that a passport is and should be required for running for any political position. We need to be citizens of the world if we are to continue being the great country that we are. And to comment on another point, I am a Democrat with considerable conservative values. I believe in pro-life for myself but also believe in pro-choice for my daughters and anyone who wants that option. I value my family above all else, am middle-class, not considered part of the "elite". I voted for Hillary Clinton and was devastated that she was did not win the nomination but she does not have to be the one that has to be the leader now. It is time for Obama and it is right that she steps back but I know she is there and she inspires me to go forward and fight harder and louder for the other option is grim! I encourage all Democrats to FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! These may be McCain's call to arms but we Democrats should not sit back. Every DEMOCRAT needs to register and vote!!!! We cannot afford not to.

This is crazy. Hillary is damned if she does & damned if she doesn't. I cannot think of another public figure that we have such high standards for and are constantly criticizing their every action.
It so ridiculous that the media gave such a free ride to every other presidential candidate, republican or democrat, except for Hillary. I wonder if Barak wins, will Hillary get the credit or just the blame if he loses?
The democrats wanted Barak as their candidate and HE is the one that should receive the blame or success. and the media really should start being a bit more objective in their reporting and stop their constant need to "stir the pot".

What disingenuous nonsense. You "need" Hillary to say something that you yourself already believe? Why? Are your beliefs somehow "validated" because someone famous says them?

We don't need Hillary to tell us that people like you oppose Sarah Palin. You, and Hollywood, and the vast majority of the media. That's so obvious as to be tedious. (And I guess for you folks, "snarky and sarcastic" is OK as long as it's targeting the people YOU don't like, right???)

What's irritating you is not that Hillary Clinton is silent, but that so many women like me who agree with Sarah Palin on a number of issues are NOT. News flash, Patti: neither you, nor Hillary Clinton, nor the rest of the media will be able to shut us up. We are making our voices heard, and we will in November.

And for what it's worth, I am an attorney, a professor, and a full-time working mom of two small children.

Clinton is screwed no matter what... If she helps Obama smear Palin, many of those woman will be against her next time... if she doesnt do enough, then the Obama faithful will think that she didnt want him to win and will vote against her in spite. She can't win. It is amazing how many people think that Palin doesnt represent women well, in any election there are always issues that you wont agree with... but dang she does come from a middle class root background, understands middle class America, and is there for the American people best interests, not hers. It is too bad for America, that no matter who wins POTUS, at least 40-45% of the country is gonna be scared to death of the new president.

Coming from you, Patti, these words ring hollow. What women like you need is disciplining....something that Ronald and Nancy glaringly did not do, thus your renegade lifestyle. No, women need a leader who sets an example of doing what is upright and Godly. Yes, I know that you will be offended by the word "Godly", but Hillary will not fill that bill. Give it up...the "I am woman, watch me roar" crowd from the sixties are no longer going to rule either party. Sarah Palin is a breath of wonderfully fresh air. Watch and seeth.

This totally reminds me of the hatred the left had for Clarence Thomas, it's not enough that he was a black man he had absolutely agree with the left in order to honor his accomplisment. I got news for you, there are alot more women who feel comfortable with Sarah Palin than Gloria Steinem. There are more women who are worried about having a strong family than they are fervishly in favor of abortion--despite being pro-choice.

Thank you. Well said.

I do not think Hilary should speak about Palin. I think people who want Obama to win should stop talking about Sarah Palin. This media feeding frenzy has an intensity and vitriol that reminds me a lot of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings. It is interesting that race and gender were prominent themes in that one as well.

Sadly, Sarah Palin sells papers and TV shows and internet clicks.So the corporate media will fan the flames. I think it is great that she is not talking to the press - that way maybe they grow wearier and she will get off their radar screen.

If Hillary wants to support the Democratic ticket, she needs to work to change the agenda away from Sarah Palin's family foibles and back to the core bread and butter issue that is central to the lives of most Americans:our broken health care system. Try pulling yourself up by your Western Pioneer bootstraps if you have brain cancer. NURSES FOR OBAMA!!!!!

Hillary,

If you don't get vocal about Palin's lack of credentials to hold the office of VP or God help us, President, and McCain prevails, you can count on me never to support you in an election four years from now.

OH,, and as it's impossible for me to read my comments as I am typing, please just disregard all of my typos. Impassible to catch ALL of them withthis feint text.. so, mea cupla..

Did you just say that McCain/Palin would make Bush/Cheney good - seriously? Every point you made was rendered moot by that idioatic comment. I hope the Dems win, but my goodness - I'd much rather have McCain instead of Bush. Please, don't be so hyperbolic that you destroy the validity of your argument. It makes you sound like a person who simply rants, and does not think.

As to Hillary - why should she come to the aid of Obama? He was too afraid to pick a qualified woman - why should Hillary support such obvious sexism? She should wait 4 years, and then take the White House herself.

I think that turning to Hilliary was my first choice in the primary election, but since, the Democrats clearly squashed that hope when they push Obama out in front of Hilliary I have gone to the Republicans, I am scared of a candidate that has used 339 million dollars to run a campaign and he has a short resume to boot. He talks about change but then he chooses a partner than has been inside for over 30 years. It was a slap in face and to all woman that Obama ego to obtain the light of 1st Black President wouldn't choose to overshadow that by choosing Hilliary. WHO is behind Obama, what big interest are in his pockets. Frankly I like Palin and think despite all the crap it seems a woman has to go through to breathe the same air and space as their male couterparts in Washington, I hope she stays the course. Go McCain/Palin!

well, Man of us women really don't need to hear from Hilary on this one. Yes, I like her (Hillary_ and yes, I supported her. However, when SHE deicded that what was best for the party was better for America is where I drew the line. The party is NOT better-off with Baracj Obama and neither IS the country. As the DNC has chosed to so severely diss the best person for the job AND in so doing, disregarded so very many votes, I cannot go alonw with them by giving MY one vote to Barack Obama.
I worry more about out country and, as we have already HAD a do nitiong and know less presdent for far too long, I am voting for Mccain. It is as simple as that.
and, regarding McCain's coice of sarah Palin as veep, I am happy about that, too. It really has nothing to do with her genfer but has everything to do with HER more centrist values-- at least as in how she votes and works with all parties. her gender is merely a BONUS. By that, I mean that perhaps the voters will finally understand that a woman in the white-house IS not so far-fetched.... and in 2012, when and if Hillary runs, she may just be able to do it (regardless of what the dnc wants).
To suggest that I OWE my vote to the democrats ia an asinine notion. I owe them nothing.
