McCain. I can't really see her hurting him once America has accepted him as the nominee. If this plays out
correctly, Hillary will damage herself beyond repair. There has to be an unspoken concensus in the Dem party
that those in her campaign will fade from power for the obvious reasons.
Hillary can make a lot of noise, but it makes her and her cohorts look like complete fools.
I think there is a great need to reexamine our premises and stop being naive about the Clintons, quite frankly. We need to put our "dark side" caps on and pretend that we are evil-doers and do NOT have the interests of the nation at heart. We have to think of the bigger picture, and think very long term.
I am not exactly saying that I think Hillary is an "evil-doer" (that would need to be defined more carefully!). But rather that I think it is quite clear that her actions and intentions (staying in until....???) are about much more than her personality (disorder) or character -- things such as her selfishness and blind ambition. It is always much more practical than that, isn't it? I mean, when you look back at history, yes, crazy dictators and other bad guys are crazy but really that isn't what drives them. It is about money, power, land, resources, family status, future fortunes. Usually the crazy dude is just being used by those who really are pulling the strings, and those folks wisely insist on remaining hidden. It is normal that there are pressure points coming from all over to influence the "crazy leader". It isn't like someone with a personality disorder is just let loose to do what he/she will with the country. No, it is about how to control and influence that person in any way possible.
We must look deeper at the intentions and motivations of Hillary and Bill and who they associate with. I am now expert on their ties to Saudi Arabia and I haven't yet read the new book "The Family" (about the "religious" group Hillary is involved in -- just got published this month) and really I don't know anything about them that I would say is "true". But some people do know things, and even if we come off as conspiricy nuts, it is worth asking those in the know and investigating who the hell these Clintons really are.
A few months ago I was in the camp of "Well, if Hillary is the shoe-in, then lets just go with that and win in November... anyone is better than Bush". But these last few months have been historic. Obama (and us!) have forced her to show so many hands that she otherwise would have kept hidden. Who knew she could lie THAT much and THAT often??!!
So, all I am saying is that the "why the hell is she doing this?" question needs to be seriously studied and answered before we can understand the problem and come up with a strategy to stop her. Otherwise we aren't seeing the full picture. To know what makes her tick, we need to know her key associations, who she is beholden to, and what her overall goals are (not just her personal goals). I think she has been corrupted, somehow, and that this is much more than just personal. Maybe I am wrong, but if it is just personal then it is truly astounding how much power Hill and Bill wield just based on ambition alone.
And will we now see Hillary's campaign now owes her well over $30M, if not 35...
And the grand total of campaign deficit, over $40M???
Hillary was once a respectable female politician, or at least I believed that at one time, and now she has become a deceitful egomanianical member of a campaign gone awry. Can anyone say McCain-Clinton 08?
Please oh please, enough of the Billary kool-aid...
Why should she ask her donors to meet in NY? She does not need them to
announce she is quitting. I would not put it past her to stay in the race, and cause further problems for the Democrats. This woman has neither shame, nor any class. She will not hesitate to bring down the party, and spoil Obama's chances in November. Who the heck cares if she got the most number of popular votes - it still does not qualify her for the nomination.
Our election system does not revolve around Hillary, or her whims and fancies. For God's sake, get out the race, woman!
I guess I'm just too much of a hopemonger....but if this week passes by with no concession I'm converting to hardened cynic.
How much is she in the hole already? Well, she'd better make one hell of a pitch...
She would be nothing more than a state level Arkansas rep in Little Rock without Bill. Perhaps she would prefer this when she gets a four year taste, as the junior Senator from New York, of shining Obama's shoes or carrying his water pale, all while Bill jets around the world on a never ending international fuckfest.
Just watch.
Obama '08!
F*CK, somebody please drop a house on this witch.
Wait -- I see now where she gets this sense of entitlement. Thanks to Bush v.Gore, the loser of the popular vote gets to be president. She's just applying that same logic to the Democratic nomination. She's behind, so that makes her ahead.
It's all so simple!
I gotta go lie down now...
It's a pattern:
They lay down some hints about calling it off to get people off their backs, then keep going forward.
It's been their MO over the past couple months.
i like how obama has capitalized on the long primary to define himself. Speech after speech covered on free teevee. a couple of difficult issues resolved. the time has not been wasted.
Congrats Hillary, I now hate you more than Ann Coulter.
Hillary totally overlooks all of the people that voted for Obama.
That is Hillary today.

If that's the case, the supers better hurry up and unwimpify en masse.
Dream on, right?

Vanity Fair article will be the nail in the coffin for sHillary's race for the president.
She's toast!
This should be the democratic party's focus.
We know that both he and she plan speeches tomorrow night and that his supposedly will announce the end of the primary and that he will thereafter confront McCain.
Duh.
She's either dropping out or suspending.
