the handwriting is on the wall
Wonder if anyone over at Team Clinton can read it?

I Don't Think The Clintons Like The Handwriting
"Step aside so this other guy can lose the general."
-
"SHAME ON YOU BARACK OBAMA! SHAME ON YOU!"
Her flying monkies will probably have plenty to say shortly.
-
Hillary certainly has the right
and the duty to her supporters to stay in the race at least through PA. That said, she has really screwed herself in the long run by endorsing McCain over Obama. Yes, that's what it was, an endorsement. If the trend continues and Obama wins the nomination, he would be insane to suggest Hillary as a running mate or a cabinet position. Why would he ever hire someone who has made those claims about him?

Barrack bounces back
Buried in that story is the more important point, he's back baby! He's regaining most of his previous losses in the polls. It just shows again how thirsty the American people are for a president who is honest and talks to them like their are adults who are part of a process. It must kill, just kill the likes of Hannity and Rove that there is little they can do to keep his message of honesty and unity from capturing the imagination and the support of this country!

Hillary Rodham Clinton
You wish!

That is Clinton's only hope
The Obama campaign is right about one thing. Clinton's only hope is that something unforeseen and very bad happens to Obama. The issue with Obama's church was foreseeable and foreseen, and Clinton's supporters who brought it up were right that it would become an issue once it was more broadly covered. However, Obama handled it masterfully, going beyond damage control and into turning a problem into an opportunity. Clinton has every right to hold out in hopes something else goes wrong, but that's all she's running on at this point.
Now please, both campaigns, get after McCain on this Al Qaida/Iran flap. The media will just ignore it if the campaigns ignore it. One thing we should have learned from Rove is that going after an opponent on his perceived strength is an effective strategy, and unlike Rove, Clinton and Obama don't even need to lie about McCain's record.

I knew the race was over
When Clinton made the comment about how she and McCain were ready to lead and Obama was not. Having handed the republicans their most effective attack ad, I knew the democratic party hard core (see "superdelegates") would not forgive her anytime soon. That coupled with the idea that the only thing she had left to run on was "experience", for which McCain can claim double...and use the same Clinton endorsement against her as well, she was more or less toast for 2008. Question is, if Obama loses the general, does she have a chance in 2012 or will she take the blame for the loss (likely) and will still find herself out in the cold.

Hillary Has The Obligation And Duty
To stay in until the convention and at the convention try to poach pledged delegates. She wants the democratic party to win the general. That always pisses of the left wing of the party.
-
Hillary can't win the nomination...
but she'll keep trying to steal it.
The only realistic scenario for her to win the nomination is to have the superdelegates overturn the will of the Democratic voters.
I have been a Clinton supporter since the mid-eighties (I grew up in Arkansas), and I was with them on every battle against the right-wing crazies who have been trying to tear them down for as long as I can remember. So I never understood how all those people felt, and what they saw in the Clintons that made them so angry.
But now that I'm rooting for a different candidate, I don't know how I didn't see it before: they really will stop at nothing. I wish Hillary would have the grace and dignity to drop out before the convention (the sooner the better, I think). But I don't expect that to happen. I think she will fight tooth and nail. I just hope she doesn't take the Democratic Party down with her.

The polls that show Obama bouncing back ...
Could we have a link?
-
Tarring?
What can that mean?
-
Makes Perfect Sense
I'm glad to see others are finally seeing reason. The best thing Clinton can do is bow out gracefully, if only to preserve the Democratic party. Perhaps Obama could make her a veep? Or Secretary of State?
Obama 08!

Hillary's angling for a 2012 run
And to do that without completely ruining the Democratic party (any more then she already has, that is) is to do what she can to make sure that Obama loses the general election in November.
I don't believe it's going to work though. I like Obama's chances in November and I think he will make a fine President, but even if he doesn't win the general, Hillary's campaign has burned too many bridges to have another shot at the White House. How will she convince the Democrats she pissed off by endorsing McCain to vote for her? I just don't see it happening.

All of those Hillary lies about foreign policy
are now coming back to bite her in the butt.
She did NOT land in Bosnia under fire. The whole notion is IDIOTIC. She is not in the military. She did not negotiate.
For the 8 years of Bill's presidency, after she and Magaziner totally screwed up health care reform, she poured tea. They kept her away from responsibility. She didn't do a good job with health care, and nobody trusted her.
Now she is making ridiculous claims. They are going to finish her off.
PLEASE, make it happen FAST, FAST, FAST...

Yep
"When Clinton made the comment about how she and McCain were ready to lead and Obama was not. "
This was party treason. I have NEVER in my life heard a candidate from one party (except Joe Lieberman, that sanctimonious piece of shit) praise someone in the other party during an election and run down their own guy. Nauseating. Disgusting. Unbelievable. Uncontionable. Intolerable.

Yep 2
And when Obama's surrogates argued back in January that Clinton should not be the nominee because "half the country hates her, so she's unelectable" that was "just telling the truth", right?
Who turned traitor first?
Give 'em hell, Hil. They deserve it.
