I was discussing Hill the other day with my dearest friend (who happens to be African American). We started discussing Bill's famous line, "They pulled the race card," my friend simply said, "who is THEY Is that 'they' in general They with a capitol T?" And then she said:
"We have a war monger in office now. If Hillary is in, we'll have a race monger."
Terrifying, no?

Here is a inspirational video. It puts everything in perspective when you think of Hillary's past voting record.
Good morning Poor ticket sales for worst President ever:
A Tuesday fundraiser headlined by President Bush for U.S. Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is being moved out of the Phoenix Convention Center.
Sources familiar with the situation said the Bush-McCain event was not selling enough tickets to fill the Convention Center space, and that there were concerns about more anti-war protesters showing up outside the venue than attending the fundraiser inside.
What I have never heard mentioned is the absurdity of her reasoning, even if you ignore the assasination crap. The reason campaigns used to go into June is that California and a lot of other primaries used to take place in June. There were stll a lot of delegates to be won in June. Those primaries have all now been moved up to February and March. With the late primary schedule, a second place candidate had a reasonable chance to be able to catch up if sentiment turned. That is no longer a reasonable mathematical possibility and she should go home. Her candidacy at this point is like an MLB team that is 20 games out of first place in the middle of August selling playoff tickets because they aren't mathematically eliminated yet.

good point about the changed primary schedule. specifically in 1992, jerry brown had a legitimate chance to take the majority of delegates if he won his home state with a big enough margin (he actually lost it in the end). brown had been the leader until the NY primary in april.

Thank you, Hillary, for my rotten night's sleep. Here's what she needs to do for all of us to get a good night's sleep again: 1. Effective today, terminate her campaign. Not suspend, terminate. 2. Direct all her delegates to pledge support to Obama. No ifs, ands, or buts--unequivocal pledged support. 3. Tell her Senate staff she is going on hiatus for one month, effective today. 4. Travel to a retreat of her choosing. Some place pretty and isolated. Well-stocked with food. Alone. For one month contemplate, acknowledge, and own the abyss she has fallen into. Stare into that abyss. Then, with the help of meditation and prayer to her God, begin to reclaim her soul.

When I heard that comment , my thought was she wants to be on standby in case Obama is assassinated. (Not that she'd mind if it happened)

Freudian slip? No doubt, it had been on her mind.
Even RFK Jr. is excusing her, along with many others. I wonder how he felt about the Bosnia sniper fire and her race cards.
Too many people get too used to moving on in politics, and, so, many who should have been removed from government are still there---such as our President and Veep.
Hillary shouldn't get what would be about a 15th chance to go on.

Joe: The only things "Team Clinton" should be doing today and in the foreseeble future is making sure they try and collect their last paychecks and taking down the posters off the walls in their rented office space. Anyone, anyone of any gender, anyone of any race, anyone of any financial background who continues to support this unthinking, lying gorgon is the moron! HILLARY MUST GO AND GO NOW !!!

I hope team Obama and friends leave this lay in the lap of Hillary and Co. Piling on would be no better than what Hillary and Co. have done at every turn. Her comments were a mistake as she has admitted. Though it upsets me to think there is something more going on it does Obama's cause no help to stir the embers. Pro Clinton blogs are already blaming this fiasco on Obama and his supporters. Lets leave them to lie in their own hypocrisy, double standards and deep denial.

huh? let's leave them to their own senses to punish themselves? This is the second time she said it. She wants to wait around in case Obama gets killed. Don't you see how wrong and dangerous this is?
Clinton says exactly what she means.

Shame on Hillary. The person who usually does not misspeak, has said the unthinkable. I hope this makes the SD's realize that she is not Presidential material. She has broken every rule in the book to win this, and divided the party so much. We do not want an imitation of George Bush as our next President.

What a wonderful example of a horrible poem: "Then the central girders with a crash gave way, And down went the train and passengers into the Tay." It puts me in mind of a horrible candidate whose candidacy went down with a crash for talking trash.

Before the days of Netroots and the bloggers, this story would have died. Clinton is pure evil. She would be W's 8th term (the neo-cons).

The MSM is saying that she apologized, but I think that it was an extraordinarily weak apology.
However, I don't believe that she ever made the claim (or even implied it) that she needs to tell us these things because she's so smart and we are morons.
I think the things that she does say and do are troubling enough. We don't need to go around exaggerating her mistakes and faults.

Hate to say "I told you so, " but....
"We have a war monger in office now. If Hillary is in, we'll have a race monger."
Terrifying, no?
