[Read the article: What should Hillary Clinton do now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I respect your right to your opinion. Many people feel we DO need a president - and we are basing it on things that perhaps you are not.
That doesn't make me an idiot anymore than your opinion makes you an idiot ok?
Bottom line: you can vote for whomever you want. This is a free country and presumably, when the general election comes around ALL the names will be on the ballot. And if you don;t see the name you want, they even let you write your own in!
God Bless America.

[Read the article: What should Hillary Clinton do now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Question:
If the supers stepped in on Tuesday don't you think she would STILL be wanting to take it to the convention?
If what you say is true that she will not concede no matter what, then what does it matter WHEN the supers weigh in?
Stay with me now...one more question:
IF she is hellbent on taking it to the convention, wouldn't her argument be STRONGER to do that if the supers had weighed in already by now, effectively making the last six states votes useless?
Don;t get me wrong. I am 100% Obama suppoter, with time and money. But think this out with me, would you?

Nader?
[Read the article: What should Hillary Clinton do now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You're kidding right?
I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiments (I'm an independents who has leaned libertarian in the past) but Ralph Nader?
Maybe if he'd crawl out from under his rock more than once every four or eight years and go some good around the world (you don;t have to be president to do that, ask Al Gore), he would have a better argument.
Don't get me wrong. I'm glad we have seat belts.

[Read the article: Obama takes superdelegate lead?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Me too. This has got to sting. Bad.
(I can't resist: maybe she'll become one of those "bitter" guns and God folks. Let's hope she leaves the gun at home and decides
instead to turn to God for wisdom, peace and guidance).
Seriously, i wish people around here would be a little more gentle and compassionate. To both Hillary (who is can be argued scare deserves it bur more so to her supporters who truly love and support and believe in her. This has to be tough for them all.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your baiting is not going to work.
We're done with you.
Have a good day.
Please be sure to let all your friends know not to vote for Barak. That's fine with all of us.
And guess what? if he loses, he loses. We're prepared to deal with it. What will you do if he wins? Wait. Don;t answer that. I really don't care.

[Read the article: What should Hillary Clinton do now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You're right I agree. I'm not suggesting that she would HAVE to take it or even that she wants it. I do think it would be beneficial to Obama's presidency.
However, in the examples you gave, and historically, the VP has mostly beena figurehead.
I believe Obama has said (although I'm not sure) that a VP should be have an active agenda and oversight over various functions of the presidency. I believe his skills as a manager/leader and CEO of his campaign, as well as some of the things he;s said along the way, indicate that he is less of a 'ruler" type than a CEO type: setting the tone and agenda for his administration and making decisions based on the reliable input of people who he trusts as advisors.
I think (and he has said) he has tremendous respect for Hillary and I have no reason to think she would serve as a figurehead in his administration. She;d probably be one of the most active VPs in US history.
Do you think otherwise?
Besides, these are the "deals" that politicians negotiate at these stages. She has something to offer and so does he. The talk should be about how to bang it out together.

[Read the article: What should Hillary Clinton do now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Her money is drying up already. She's running on loans and credit right now. Her supporters aren't sending money in (if you've seen anything reliable about that please post it, i could be wrong. I saw 20-30 million debt)
BUT let's assume that her supporters are still funding her campaign even now. Now let's assume that the supers weighed in and made it so that Obama is the nominee. Do you think she would quit then? If not, then wouldn't her supporters continue to fund her hopeless campaign?
Don't you see my point?
If they are funding it now and its hopeless, why would they stop funding it even if the super put Obama over the edge. And if she really does plan to fight at the convention in August, wouldn't her supporters continue to fund it until the convention when he is officially declared the nominee?
I happen to think they are NOT funding it in any meaningful way, hence the debt she has. I am not sure she'll fight to the convention but if she plans to I don't see how the superdelegates' weighing in will change that. (after all, she'd argue, they can always switch their vote).
See?

Debt Question
[Read the article: What should Hillary Clinton do now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Can someone clear this up fro me?
What are the rules? If she goes to the convention then she can only recover 250,000 of her self-loaned money?
That doesn't sound right. Can someone clarify this. As an Obama $upporter, i give a $erious $hit about this.
