Hillary lost (in my outsider's opinion) well before she even started her Presidential campaign, because of her vote long, long ago in favour of GW Bush's phony Iraq war. She allowed the neocon scoundrels to panic her into approving that war. There could never be and there was never an adequate explanation from Hillary for that vote.

Whatever may be said about the considerable mudslinging and dirt flinging during these Democratic primaries, Hillary certainly ended her campaign with extraordinary grace and graciousness: I don't believe Obama could have gotten a better endorsement than what Hillary gave him.

Now it is up to her to try and ensure that her "18 million" vote for and perhaps even work for Obama. Of course, this is the task at hand for everyone who wants to see a US administration that is not the direct descendant and beneficiary of the war criminals who are ruling the US today).

For the sake of all US citizens (and for the sake of the whole world, in fact) they all need to ensure that they work effectively to get Obama elected in November: every right or wrong step taken from right now will count for plenty more of the same respectively later.

There is not a whole lot of time for them all to get their act together, to counter the many dirty tricks that will we coming for sure from McCain and his Republicans. In fact, there have already been a number of Rovian tactics seen in this political battlefield: for instance, didn't some newspaper/TV channel state that Hillary Clinton had conceded to "Osama"?!!!

Be absolutely certain that this was no 'slip'/ accident on the part of the newspaper or TV channel (though of course a form apoloty was duly put out)! That was Rove or his successors testing out the waters! Plenty more will be coming along in that vein or worse, MUCH worse... Obama and the rest of the Democrats need to learn how to counter those dirty tricks: they cannot afford to react late as, for instance, the Kerry-Edwards campaign did to the Swift Boat campaign, the 'wolves in the undergrowth' advertisement, and so on.

Leeandra Nolting: "...remember bush's speech in front of St. Louis Cathedral?..."

AND also remember "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED", and GW Bushie all tricked out in his nice yellow pilot suit with handkerchiefs stuffed in at the crotch to emphasize his malehood? (At that stage only about 500 US soldiers had died,

and only some -- thousand Eye-rackis, and only US$ 50 billion had been spent versus what? -- 1 million Eye-rackis have died now now, 4000-odd US soldiers have died now, 500-odd billion have been squandered on this foolish war (give or take a billion here and a billion here, particularly give a billion or so to Halliburton), and the total cost of this war is to be something like $ 3 TRILLION!!! etc, etc, etc.)

AND also remember GW Bush at that photo-op in Baghdad (in 2005?), serving phony plastic stuffed turkey Thanksgiving dinners to his troops at Baghdad, proclaiming: "I just wanted a good Thanksgiving dinner with my troops" (or words to that effect"... [Remember how The Independent, London had headlined that effort? "THE TURKEY HAS LANDED!

AND also remember GW Bush, Masseur-in-Chief, launching his special 'massage-attack' on Angela Merkel...(this is YOUR President, of whom all the US should be truly proud!)

AND also remember GW Bush sneering at Karla Faye Tucker when she telephoned him as Governor of Texas on the morning she was to be executed to beg him grant her mercy ...

AND also remember how he boasted at his inauguration on 'winning' in 2004 that he now had some 'capital' and he intended to spend it...

AND also remember ...

Remember, remember, remember...(the list is practically endless)!

AND also remember that GW Bush and his Gang of War Criminals are still mis-ruling the US, the world's sole super-power, you US citizens have not yet acted to ensure the impeachment of everyone impeachable in his Gang, have not thrown that bunch of scoundrels out of power and into jail where they belong for the rest of their miserable lives...

Karl Rove is a criminal.

True enough.

-- And what about GW Bush?

-- Dick Cheney?

-- Don Rumsfeld?

-- Condoleeza Rice?

-- Paul Wolfowitz?

-- Scott McClellan?

...

...

(and the rest of that Gang of War Criminals and Thieves who happen to be ruling the USA today, much as Hitler and Gang once ruled over Nazi Germany? (Of course, some of them have departed for other pastures, such as Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Scott McClellan...)

But those questions above are still crying for answers...

...thrown the GW Bush Gang of War Criminals/ Incompetents out of power for their incompetence, put them on trial for their crimes, thrown them into jail for the rest of their miserable lives?

Just start doing those things, and you would be taking the first steps that you should have started taking way back in 2003 (or even earlier).
