Clinton wins!

Instead of the sort-of concession many expected her to deliver, Hillary Clinton's remarks to supporters on Tuesday night sounded remarkably like... a victory speech?

    Hillary's Site

    Out of curiousity I went to HillaryClinton.com. She'd asked for feedback from her supporters AND everyone else, and I fall into one of those categories.

    I intended to ask her not to take this to the convention floor in an internicine fight that could only enhance the prospects for a McCain Presidency. I planned to ask politely.

    That wasn't an option. Want to send Hillary your thoughts? She has already written them out for you:

    I'm with you, Hillary, and I am
    proud of everything we are
    fighting for.

    That message cannot be edited or removed. Additional comments can be left, but they are optional.

    Optional!

    So all Hillary wants is for visitors to her site to parrot back to her exactly what she wants to hear - and nothing more. Oh, and to give her their contact information (required) so she can hit them up for campaign donations. You couldn't ask for a clearer indication of just how much contempt Hillary has for the American people.

    What a great leader! Just like Bush and Cheney.
