Hillary has too much integrity to run 2nd to Obama. Now dont all Obamaites shout that he would not ask her. I am responding to a question posted, just like Hillary did when she said working, white blue collar voters will stick by her (she was quoting the press but stand up and shout racist, racist folks). She would never run on a ticket when she knows he is not fit to be president. But if that would be a senario, we are voting for Hillary because of her qualifications and because we believe she will change this country. She would never be able to make those changes as VP. So in the best interest of our country, without waiting a second to think about it as some smarta-- suggested we would do, we will vote for McCain as the lesser of the two evils. Maybe you need to think twice about standing on principles but we who support Hillary do not.
Hillary Clinton holds all the possible hope for change I see in this election. So why is everyone so set on getting rid of her? It almost feels like we are being set up as a country, like the military-industrial complex has chosen the leader to follow Bush. It feels to me like Obama is the choice of all the folks, especially established white men, who I would like to see lose their power for a while so we could undo the incredible tangle they have made of things.
If Obama was just about 100 delegates behind, in a race where he had won ALL the states which are necessary to win the general election in November; would he quit? I think not.
How many of us recall when Al Gore quit and how through the years we have all wondered what might have happened if he had held his position and not accepted defeat before it was assured? I know I do. I also know how desperately I wished Gore had fought harder and longer for the sake of thousands of lives lost and all the wealth that has been plundered by G. Bush and his cronies. We laid down when we should have stood on our hind legs and said "the Court may not decide who the next president will be."
So now we find ourselves in a similar place. If Clinton accepts the defeat that so many men are rushing to hand her, including Shapiro, will we have similar regrets. Undoubtedly. Obama will never be able to handle the Washington crew. He will be isolated and rendered impotent by the very political insiders who are working to make sure he, and not Clinton, is the nominee. Then they will proceed to continue to fleece and fuck the last bits of wealth, resources, and power this country has remaining. Obama will be neither strong enough, nor knowledgeable enough, nor experienced enough to accomplish anything to repair the destruction that has been wrought on the society and its laws and people.
But wisdom gained from the past has never held much interest for the American mind nor media. Head for the hills, get your gardens in, learn how to hunt, and make sure you have good fences. The disaster which will be the result of the selling of Obama as the solution will be painful, and potentially violent. And, as an additional benefit for the GOP, the economic and environmental tragedy will all be Obama's fault.
Death with dignity? We better all know how to walk that walk since Obama will accompany us to our demise if he is chosen as the Dems nominee.
Maybe like me, Clinton is facing the reality of what will come if she quits and isn't going to acquiesce to that level of destruction for face-saving. Or maybe, also like me, she thinks that something might intervene before the barrel goes over the cliff.
My fingers are crossed.
I am still reading (god only knows why) and you're very welcome!

The above are trolls coming in from the far right to agitate, divide & conquer. Do not engage or otherwise feed these trolls; they are not interested in rational discourse.
"here has never before been a candidate so lacking in integrity and basic qualifications as Obama. We will do all we can to keep him out of the White House."
Well, let's see. I can think of a candidate. He was a successful lawyer in Illinois, but had only 2 terms in the state legislature and 1 term in the congress before running and winning the Presidency.
That man was Abraham Lincoln. He did OK, and so will Obama.
More like the triumph of dirty politics over honor. Obama ran the filthiest camapaign in recent Democratic Party history. Well, I say Obama, but really it was Axelrod - the Democratic Rove wannabe. But Obama let him do it in his name. The only "hope" Obama offers is the false hope every modern day prophet offers his followers.
First, how was the perch and chardonnay on Saturday?
Second, yes, Sen. Clinton will concede graciously and she will support Sen. Obama--anything else will be political suicide.
Really, the onus is on her supporters to do the same. Anything short of voting for the nominated Democrat will be political suicide.
Of course, what do I know? I NEVER in a million years would have thought 2000 and 2004 would have given us eight years of Bush 43.
Data guy---I sure you skipped over the integrity part. Lincoln had integrity, Obama has none. You people who compare Obama to Lincoln are way off base. He is to be compared to his mentor Rev. Wright and his sponsor Resko.
So in the best interest of our country, without waiting a second to think about it as some smarta-- suggested we would do, we will vote for McCain as the lesser of the two evils.
So let us all know when you McCain supporters succeed in killing all the medical marijuana patients in California on your way to winning your racist War on Drugs.
If you vote for McCain, then all that suffering he's going to cause will be YOUR choice and the people who suffer from his reign of destruction can blame you for choosing it.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
