What Hillary Should Say Now

This was thoughtful and well said. I couldn't have said it better myself. It makes me wonder what the press and others who are gushing over Sarah Palin saw in her performance. She has no great presence, speaks in a tremulous voice, and has even less substance in her speeches. No wonder the RNC is keeping her away from the press for interviews. They know she is ill-prepared to deal with the press, much less with the serious issues that are facing this country. And, they are counting, once again, on the stupidity and gullibility of some Americans to vote for an attractive, yet vacuously packaged persona.
It would particularly be political suicide for Hillary voters to vote for McCain just because of Palin. His platform is anathema to theirs--- and it hasn't changed -- it has become more entrenched in the right-wing of his party with Palin's addition. If McCain gets elected then such voters will have only themselves to blame as the clock gets rolled back regarding Roe v. Wade, and America is saddled with yet another president who invades other countries first and asks questions later. (It is mind-boggling to me that there is the perception out there that McCain is more up to speed on foreign policy, when he doesn't even know that Iraq and Afghanistan do not share a border, that Iran actually lies in between them; and that he once confused the Shiites with the Sunnis.)
As for Hillary???s role in all of this, if she truly loves this country, as she professes, she???ll put her ego aside and campaign hard for Barack Obama to be elected, because there is so much at stake. As Obama said, this election is not about him, and neither is it about Hillary Clinton. Its about us collectively and the times we live in, for which we need wise, prudent leadership to steward us through.

yes i urged all women who say they where supporters of hillary clinton and say she shares your value and issues that you believe in and if that's really true ,then you should follow your heart and stand with the democratic party and dont be fooled by the pick john mccain vp choice compare the issues that hillary clinton was fighting for to the ones os sarah palin and remeber whose control the white house for the last eight years and that john mccain voted with bush 90% of the time and that sarah palin is as far right as john mccain on certain issues such as woman right to choose , and voted against funding to buy libary books for the state libary and who calls the war in irag a act of god and who said she doesn't the roll of the vp and who against sex education being taught in schools and who did accept earmarks for her state and who did raise taxes ,and john mccain who said he's want to reform washington how can you do that when you have 169 lobbyist running your campaign and your top advisor is a lobbyist the country of georgia no wonder mccain came so trongly in there defense when russia invadded them and there are a lot of we dont know about sarah palin so the media do job ,because the people have a right to know before we make the most importance decission as to who we want to run this country for the next four years

We are waiting to hear from a woman that sold her dignity to get ahead politically?
I think not!

Most liberal women are snarky, and Hilliary Clinton is among the worst. When she attacked Obama with her snarky Xeroxing other peoples words comment, I thought it was funny, and deserved. It was however snarky and she is very sarcastic most of the time. Hillary thought she was macho when she said she landed under fire in Bosnia. She lied about that as we know.

Hillary as been clearly taken out of the election process thanks to the voters of Obama, they wanted not part of Hillary Clinton, so why are all the women looking to her for her to say something ? She told all the Hillary supporters to fall in line behind Obama, so may and some won't . Some may vote for McCain just because of Palin and that is no fault of HIllary's, the Republican's did what Obama and the Democratic Party should
have done. But they didn't so some people may reward the Republicans for that. Hillary as said her piece. Leave her alone, if you to look for guidance then you should have voted for her instead of the " Change candidate". The ball is now in Obama and no one else's leave it there, it his problem to deal with McCain and Palin, NOT HILLARY's !!!!

personally, I think that Hillary should say this... "You go girl. While our politics don't agree and we come from different lifestyles, you the rugged outdoors and me the big city, we strive to achieve the same things. We both wish to change the way women are perceived in politics, shatter glass ceilings, demonstrate that a mom can be a great leader, have a loving husband, raise a family and still be tough as nails. Congratulations on your appointment."

And, Palin should say... "Hillary, thank you for setting a standard for women in government. Without your strong leadership and commitment to the cause of reform, women like me would not be taken seriously. I am sorry it wasn't you, but you are in all of us that are moving the cause of strong, serious women in politics further ahead."

Unfortunately, they are both probably too caught up in party politics to admire the hard work of the other. And so is the author of this article. Sorry Ms. Davis, you sound like an angry, bitter, sore losing radical feminist, and not an objective, critical thinking commentator that sees the good in Sarah Palin and the influence of Hilary Clinton that got her here.

LOL...are you kidding me??!! The liberal democrats used the SAME tactic with women. For the better part of two years the DNC and Hag Clinton's campaign (not to mention the biased liberal media) thought she had the women's vote locked up...JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN. Where were your ignorant complaints then?

Thank you, Patti Davis for so eloquently stating the concerns that not only women but ALL Americans should understand. My vote is not for a candidate's gender, but rather their vision for America and our place in the world. Obama/Biden will improve our economy that was ravaged under eight years of Republican watch, bring affordable healthcare to all, and return a sense of civility and respect to Americans here and abroad. I've had it with eight years of Bush's snarkiness, and surely don't need it from the next Republican candidates. Obama/Biden "08!

to Patti Davis: I was a Hillary supporter, but not waiting for her to suggest to me or other women what we "ought" to do regarding Sarah Palin or our votes - we own themt, and I know to whom mine's going for president/VP. Hint: There's no way I'd vote for The Fraud, but down-ticket Dems - yes.

thank you for this...I am afraid of Sarah Palin and her extremism...if she should become President...what would happen to our country? What would happen to our right to choose? The separation of church and state? I am afraid that Americans and shallow and are enamored of this woman because of her good looks and charm. I am not impressed by her viscious comments about Obama's community service. She is no Hillary. Hillary talks to the press. Sarah says nothing that is not scripted.
