Various writers keep saying what an asset she'd be - how she's great at policy etc. - however her campaign was mismanaged and there was lots of infighting; large amounts of money were wasted in January which is why she ran out at the end; not to mention Bill and some of his questionable remarks and both of them endorsing McCain at various points? How exactly would that help Obama in a general election? If people are bent out of shape about Edwards do you think Bill's love life wouldn't come front and center again? I know people who have seen him in public with other women so it wouldn't take long. . .
I think Hillary has alot to offer and could be a good candidate - however she's not it this time -- there are 18 million people who voted for the other candidate - that's the way the process works. And to get elected in this country it's about electorcal votes. It's great to want to change the system but currently we have to work with what we have.
If "PUMAS's" will feel better saddling their young daughters and grandaughters with the end of Roe v. Wade and their children with enormous debt and erasure of the middle class -then please vote for McCain. But quit pretending that you care about what's best for the country or anyone else except yourselves and wanting to be relevant after a loss. Obama is accommodating the Clintons above and beyond -- and I believe they will do the same - because they know their own political futures are at stake. Hopefully their real supporters (and not the one's masquerading just to stir things up) will do the same and support whomever the Democratic candidate is.
