With her political career in shambles I will give her the best advice she has gotten all to help salvage what's left.
1.) Come out and unequivocally state you don't want nor would she accept the VP spot if offered. Why? because she voted for the war and that disqualifies ANYONE who might be Obama's running mate.
2.) Endorse Obama in the strongest terms possible, no strings attached this time.
3.) Stop asking Obama to pay off her debt.
4.) Come to grips with the fact that she lost to a better candidate.
Contrary to what some of the Hillary supporters think about me from my posts I like Hillary Clinton a lot and thought she would make the best president of anyone in the field early on. Obama slowly won me over with his policy positions (very similar to Hillary), his judgment on the war (better than Hillary) and most other issues, his excellent speaking skills and most of all he has the courage not to talk down to the American people. Obama has the potential to best president since Roosevelt (take your pick).
Hillary on the other hand lost me when she fell behind and decided instead of making the case that she was the right one for the presidency she instead decided to damage the Democratic front-runner and blackmail the party into letting her continue her campaign, forcing the front runner to fight her instead of taking on McCain, to the great advantage of McCain. If she cannot be the Democratic President then she would make sure there would not be a Democratic President. That was and is unforgivable! This election is not about Hillary or Obama, its about putting this nation back on the right track and McCain will not do that.
4.) She and Bill need to go to New York and try to mend fences with the voters SHE has alienated by trying to get McCain elected.
Then he can't debunk any of their BS.
I think the great majority of people, not everyone, are smart enough to see this scheme for what it is.

"But Obama is not an ordinary black man."
You might want to rethink that line.
If you would, and if you can without sounding like a
complete racist, please enlighten me as to what
an "ordinary black man" is."
--Patrick Morgan"
I see your point Patrick, but it is close to why I am so enthusiastic about Obama. He represents the best and brightest this country has to offer, not some goof you want to have beer with, or some super rich slimebag or Manchurian Lobbyist.
He's not an ordinary black man, white man, Asian man.... you get my point. He's proven he's extraordinary and its about time this country starts electing extraordinary presidents again instead of these repug slacker idiots before the east coast in Kentucky (my land would be worth a lot more though.).
.... hope this sounds right when I reread it.
It will take months and years to dig through all the scandals, sleaze, graft to find out what Bush and his henchmen have been up to.
If someone comes forward and tells the entire truth to the commission they are forgiven, if not they are tried for their crimes.
And an awful lot of the big things these clowns have done, (like knowingly lying us into a completely unnecessary war, killing over 4000 US servicemen, between 100,000 and a quarter million Iraqis, allowing his political buddies to profit from the war and so on), are starting to sound like a level of treason that screams for the death penalty.
This is where these repugs have brought us, we very well may se the first US president sent to prison for crimes committed while in office. I expect Obama would pardon Bush to avoid the spectical of a former president being executed, but that does not mean Bush would not deserve it.
FOX News
Clear Channel Radio
These two organizations are 24/7 political machines gears toward getting repugs elected and smearing Democrats.
What would it cost to buy 24/7, 365 days a year commercial time on a major network.... hundreds of millions... billions?
The Democrats do not have their own TV and radio networks. This is why fundraising and political campaigning with between the repugs and Democrats is not a level playing field. The Democrats will have to raise many times the amount the repugs get from their corperate masters to make it a level playing field.
Face it, a bitter old geezer in Australia has elected or president for the last 7 years and our congress for 25.
will insure that young people will continue to have sex no matter what wacky twisted bullcrap they are fed by old geezers and perverts...
GOP=Gay Old Pedophiles
(my apologies to the majority of gay folks who decent hard-working people who are not republicans)
The problem is when you let repuglicans define where the center is William F. Buckley suddenly becomes "one of the most liberal voices in America".
This is bogus repug propaganda and idiots like Boren give credence to the repug smears by issuing statements like he has.
He is carrying the water for the repuglicans and he should be severely penilized by the party (or as much as they are able to) for helping to enable a key smear tactic for the repugs.
I read the article you provided a link to (thanks) and while not exactly about the Dan Boren "statement" it does help explain why Boren has acted the way he has...
He's a gutless coward.
The Democratic party needs to cleans itself of worthless empty shirts like this guy. The man does not have the courage of his convictions. If he really thinks Obama is too Liberal then he is a repuglican and should stop masquerading as a Democrat.
Reading Paglia's articles makes me want to be buried alive.
Its Jim Webb.
Next.
