For someone who PRIDES herself on being smart you'd think she should see the writing on the wall~
Just like Bush, no exit plan!!!!
I know the blogosphere has a lot of trouble with Biden, and he can sometimes be a loose cannon, but he's a slasher and also has the foreign policy creditials Obama might need if there's another terrorist attack in the fall.
Just sayin'
my first inclination is to say hell no. she blew the money and she shouldn't get help from money given to Obama...
but if she really gets on board and starts supporting the Democratic effort, rather than just the Clinton effort, i wouldn't mind if she got some assistance.
And frankly, while I'm not happy with Clinton's attacks, part of me feels for her. She like many women, put their husbands' career first and I think she would be a better President than Bill was. Life doesn't work out the way it should though and it's no reason to act like a petulant child when you don't get what you think morally should have been yours. But on the other hand, I can feel compassion for why she is so frustrated and carrying this on even if I hold her decision to do so in disdain.
Maybe Hillary isn't so dumb after all. Maybe she is purposely running up more debt in her campaign thinking Obama will have to bail her out. I just can't trust her (or Bill). Sorry, I really used to like the Clintons but the past few months their true colors have been showing.
If Obama is really about change then he will refuse. If Obama is part of the same old game and same old DC establishment gang he will give in and pay off her debt then get on the podium and talk about change while giving a wink andf a nod to the establishment he renounces.
Political consequences notwithstanding, Clinton needs to appreciate from a personal monetary perspective the consequences of her continued negative efforts in the campaign when is was well past over.
Hillary Clinton might be on the ropes, but her remarks at a fundraiser last night show that she still expects one demographic group to come out strong for her in the remaining contests: Women voters.
"Do you know difficult it is for women to stand up and say we are the best at anything?" Clinton said last night at a "Generations of Women for Hillary" fundraiser in Washington. "The Democratic Party has to know that women are the core, women have to be at the table and women are going to be heard as we continue in these contests until they finally end."
so, i guess her working class act is old news? no more tossing back Crown Royals with the truckies?

Time to put the full cpourt press on and bury Clinton until she concedes. Even a severed head of a dead snake can bite until the head is crushed. Barrack needs to say to Clinton either you are finished when your brains splatter on the heel of my boot for all the world to see from the incessant pressure only a winner can apply or you publicly get on you knees and shine my boots by conceding. Either way you are finished, just pick your demise. And by the way, you will get nothing and like it.

Obama won this on the issues. Race is an issue... the way in which the Clintons divided the electorate by race, hurt them. More importantly however, Obama won on
1) His vision for our future. Hard work, to pull us out of this mess.
2) The war. His opposition to it, in contrast with Hillary.
3) Better message discipline... and consitency on the issues. Such as NAFTA, Gun Control.
4) The gas tax, and other issues, which made most of us beleive that Hillary would promote herself, above the interests of smart policy, and our party.
The fact is that Obama won this on issues and message. "MY DD" still wants to make this all about race... it is not. It is about issues, and yes, race is an issue, but it is not the biggest one.
She lavishly spent the money of her supporters let them bail her out.
Looking at rhe two campaign's financial mgmt ,who would you say has excutive level mgmt acumen with money. A well ran campaign that's NOT bankrupt,no drama,high moral and in the black,speaks volume.
Hillary relied on super tuesday being the end all with no plan afterwards.She's been out since feb 5 no one has bothered to tell her,(or too afraid.)
She has done a great job for the state of NY. We don't need people telling us to rexamine her. If the shoe was on the other foot, would obamaniacs be happy hearing people tell them to quit. Don't get me wrong, I've repeatedly been saying she needs to stop, but the attitude with which it's said here and other places will turn a lot of very involved people off....maybe not enough so they don't vote, but enough to make them less involved.
November is too important for ridiculous hatred of another DEMOCRAT to ruin things.
emotional and irrational to even consider Mccain. You see them on tv saying
they will give Mccain their vote. I say good riddance stay there.What better
gift to give the "repugnicans,"than infidels,who don't think!!She will have
problems in NY,if Obama loses...by the way she ran and the dirty tactics she
used.Since you have your knickers in a bunch go to youtube,search thr
following:hillary's baggage,bosnia and back again,hillary the movie,the
clinton chronicles 1-11,the mena connection .
www.paulvclinton.com This is the largest case of election fraud ever by the
corrupt twosome.The judge on 4-25-08 postponed the case so as to not tank
her presidtial bid.
When you get the facts emotion isn't an option period. Also I'm not a
democrat or a repugnican,thank you very much!
Let the DNC step up and declare Obama the victor.
Obama needs to make a statement soon and deny the possibility of this ever happening.
When money has run out and candidates cannot raise more, the candidate usually withdraws from the race. Not so with Clinton, she continued on with self financing, much to the dismay of a number of people, people who sent even more money to Obama to defeat her. So in essence, support money to Obama would, if he pays her debt, be going to pay the finances of Clinton to carry on her nasty and negative campaign.
I seriously doubt if Obama would then have the same fund raising ability. No one who sent money to Obama to defeat Hillary wants to see it spent in this way.
If you are Obama, you offer this to her, and basically say, for cheaper than fighting you to June 3, I will pay off your debt. It's less money than he will spend dealing with the crap she will throw and it finishes this thing. It's called a bargaining chip.
You all need to put the hatred aside for a second and think about what it accomplishes. This is the same sort of thinking that has some people saying they would rather have mccain then vote for clinton...which pretty much equates to blowing your head off because you got a hangnail.
I'm ready for this to be over. As NYCer I supported Hillary, but she pissed me off. I want old Hillary back and I want the party to start beating on McBush. If paying her debt off does it, then, serisously, it's a small price to pay.
The only way I wouldn't object is if the $$$ were raised specifically for this purpose. In that way, the folks who wouldn't mind paying for it could donate while the rest of us could abstain.
