Don't overextend yourself in sounding enthusiastic:

June 4, 2008 | NEW YORK CITY -- All that was missing were the confetti cannons, the balloon drop and the TV screens flashing 2,118, the magic number for a Democratic convention majority. Barack Obama declared victory in idiosyncratic fashion, with a tough general-election speech at the site of this September's Republican Convention, and on a night when he lost a primary (South Dakota's) most had expected him to win. (He won Montana's contest.) The first-term Illinois senator was propelled to the nomination by Tuesday's rush of support from superdelegates, those members of Congress and party insiders who once were purported to be an undemocratic cabal out to rescue Hillary Clinton.

No, Wally, Barack Obama won fair and square. Squarely. Stop splitting hairs. The Clinton campaign is over.

With us or against us..

If she wants respect she should demand from her followers that they vote for Obama in the general election which is all important, and not be so disgruntled as to vote for McCain. What the hell kind of Democrat would ever vote for a Republican anyway?

As for her future desire to someday be President she should forsake the VP slot. VP's have a lousy record of ever becoming President. She should ask to be head of HHS and really push her health care ideas, or ask to become a Supreme Court Justice.

The media cannot ignore how deeply corrupt Obama is:

I hope this isn't condescending, but Hillary can do whatever she likes.

That said, let me just say THIS:

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Will Obama trounce McCain?

You bet your ass he will!

MCE007: "The media cannot ignore how deeply corrupt Obama is..."

Haha, you're still hawking that puny "Rezko" crap. Who cares? What did Obama do wrong? Ummmmm.....nothing?

Get over "Rezko," it's small-time and Obama is not directly or even indirectly implicated in any wrongdoing. The only "wrongdoing" is Obama's association with somebody who is shady. Guess what? Half the people working in political circles in Chicago are shady! Was Obama supposed to avoid them all?

To the people who keep bringing up Rezko -- if you think this is such a big deal, then please, for the love of god, explain to me why I shouldn't bring up Hillary Clinton's financial involvements in this, that and the other Arkansas thing, because they damn well aren't all on the level, and again....who cares?

If there were no GWB Presidency...there might have not been a Obama candidacy.

A lesson republicans need to learn.And a lesson that equally applies to Dems too.

"kiss my ass, Barack!", is a direct quote from Terry McAuliffe on tonight's Daily Show! This has to make the headlines tomorrow. Sure he probably thought it was a joke, that he was makin' a funny on the Daily Show.

But, this was a senior member of the Clinton team telling their rival Democrat to "kiss my ass" on national television.

There's just no way that that's good for Clinton...

Seriously. If she believes that she is the best qualified candidate and if she believes she can win the Presidency with 18 million votes in her projected "path to victory", then by all means, she should keep running for President. But at this point, she won't be the Democratic nominee, so she needs to run as an Independent, just as Joe Lieberman did when he failed to secure the Democratic nomination for Senator of Connecticut. He went on to win the election. If Hillary wins enough electoral votes, then she will win fair and square.

I wonder if that's what she has in mind, since she didn't say she was quitting the race?

I just couldn't get through your essay today. And I have read many of them. Why does everyone insist on telling Hillary Clinton what to do? Why do they feel they have any authority to tell her what to do?

I can't even watch Obama's speech, which I usually try to catch on YouTube. I am trying very hard to keep separate the circus around the man and the man himself. He should have waited. I share no joy with him in this moment. But I would have if he had given Hillary a few days.

Um...no. The race we're talking about is the Democratic primary, which she would very much have to quit in order to launch an independent campaign. In fact, her claim that she is not quitting the race is, if anything, an assurance that she will not do what you're suggesting.

I got the impression that Hillary hasn't decided what she will do next, and she is leaving her options open, rather than promising to agree to anyone else's terms. She will meet with Democratic party leaders this week, but if they deny her the chance to, um, "win" the Democratic nomination, do you really believe she will stop running for President? The next logical move is to run as an Independent.

Regardless, let's wait and see what she says NEXT week. I don't think she'll give up on her quest to become the next President of the United States until November 4, and maybe not even then. She knows she deserves it.

But, it's not the best ticket to run.

The question is if their meeting this week or next is a meeting or a game of chicken?

If it's chicken, Obama might as well give her the nod, and then go on to run for presidency, and win.

If it's a meeting, if Senaotr Clinton wants to be rational, then Barak will pick someone else, and give her something else to earn her support.

As we always knew, it's all about Senator Clinton, and what's best for the country, party, and the nation is always secondary.

That's always been the problem with her candidacy: always about what she - and the women who see themselves in her refection - deserve(s). McCain doesn't harp on about deserving the presidency having sold his soul to Bush to get the Repub nomination this time, and Obama doesn't talk about the US deserving a black (or mixed race) president. She had sidelined her own ambitions for Bill to be elected governor, then president - so I can understand Hillary thinking that it's her turn. Bill may owe her, but we don't.
