bad Hillary blows it again. she's not the one.
ugh.
she chose to be small.
same as mcsame.
shame.
losers, with all due respect, do not set the agenda.
making threats is no way to move forward. she's acting like a republican and it's repulsive.
she overplayed her hand and hope she pays for it politically.
She's been losing supporters like crazy, even though she seems to think Obama's the one losing them.
As the one-L Hilary points out, Ms. Clinton has about 48 hours to at least show that she is realistic and pragmatic. She can still show that she accepts reality and will do what is required. This is not high leadership, ala Obama, but still would be credible. Her comment now has to be: "I thoroughly and deliberately considered my options, talked to party leaders, and have decided based on the facts on the ground that Obama has won. I will now support him for the Democratic ticket."
If, instead, she persists beyond the 48 hours, and continues the "fight", then she will be perceived as a detriment to the Democratic Party and will forever be branded as a cynical and selfish individual. This will include Bill, also.
So as the one-L Hilary says, the next 48 hours are crucial to the Clinton future. She already blew the big chance to take the high road.

"I am not a bargaining chip. I am a Democrat."
Let's come together.
I think the floodgates are FINALLY opening.

Lots of uncommitteds coming out for Obama and some Hillary Delegates switching to Obama.
About time.
I was struck by the parade of pet Clinton pols climbing the stage to do their obeisances last evening...talk about devalued chips.
And I used to think she had potential to be the real first female president.
Blah.
Devalued chips. Perfect phrase.
********************************************************************
In a word...OUCH.
this WOMAN IS NOT GOING TO CONCEDE, if not that she is $30 million in debt, she could have started an independent campaign.
I prefer cheney as obama's running mate than billary, at least with cheney, obama and him will be FIGHTING to run the country in private, also there will be 2 presidents as opposed to THREE.
NOTHING THIS WOMAN DOES WILL SUPRISE me, UNLESS SHE DOES THE RIGHT THING, NOW THAT WOULD THROW ME FROM MY CHAIR ONTO THE FLOOR.
You know it's over for Clinton when Taylor Marsh says she'll support Obama by working AGAINST getting McCain elected.
It's not so much an Obama endorsement as it is anti MCCain message.

Comments on her website are still 'out there' and to me, they reek of ditto head 'operation chaos'.
May the millions of good Democrats who supported HRC for a multitude of reasons pick this up as their battle cry...".I am not a bargaining chip. I am a Democrat."
What kind of loser, makes demands, and try to position herself to achieve her own personal ambitions, over her party? Why that would be Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Good for Ms. Rosen, who obviously puts her party above her candidate.
Now only if Clinton's other supporters can see the the light, and not be
foolish enough to vote for the Bush third term.

For those who aren't paying attention:
Hillary has not conceded.
She is in fact still campaigning today.
Her people are harassing Obama supporters, delegates & superdelegates, trying to switch their votes.
So, no, it ain't over.
And stopping Hillary from dividing us is neither a waste of time nor divisive.
It is the very opposite, and it needs to be done now.
We're the only ones who can do it.
There will be NO moving on until we do.
It is Hillary who needs to move on. Now.
Make it so.

Think about it, if Hillary Clinton true motives were to get Universal Health care implemented and ending the war she voted for, then the best way to do this is to support the Democratic nominee who shares her vision and just make sure Obama follows through on these agendas. It is crystal clear after last night that she only cares about her self and gratifying her ego.
I believe, no I know (because I was a two time Clinton supporter (Bill) and have worked along side some of Hillary Clinton's supporters in the past) that 99% of Hillary Clinton supporters care more about the Democratic Party and this country a lot more than they care about an individual, even if their last name is Clinton.
Please follow Hilary’s example and speak up. I wish other Hillary supporters would have enough love for the party and Country to come out like the "good" Hilary has done and let the narcissistic Hillary (two L’s like in hell) know that you are not going to be a bargaining chip for anyone’s selfish and egotistical motives that could be the demise of the future of this Party and our great Country and could potentially continue the unnecessary killing of our young people in Iraq in which Hillary Clinton is directly responsible for.
So someone please explain to me how she's more electable than Obama? How she can stay in the race?
As I said down below, the more I think about her speech last night, the angrier I become.
In addition to her toxic campaign, her assertions that McMore and her passed the commander-in-chief test while Obama didn't, her refrain that she was the most electable candidate on the evening of Obama's historic victory, her refusal to acknowledge his victory, her lip service to wanting to unite the party while trying to force Obama into a position of having to place her on the ticket, trying to use her supporters as a wedge and a bargaining chip, McAuliffe's intro of her last night as the "next president".... It all makes me furious!
[Oh, and by the way Hillary, thanks ever so much for giving McCain all those talking points to use against Obama.]
I've heard that the overwhelming majority of her supporters are writing in to her website, as she requested last night, asking to fight on until Denver. WTF!?!??!
She lost! If she wants to unite the Democratic party and win against McCain then it's time to acknowledge she lost. It's time to endorse Obama and campaign for him starting today. If she doesn't, then she's helping McCain.
anyone clarify?
She kept pounding away at her superior experience (same as Monica's, plus honorary Knesset member), as if she were still running for Pres. Her Hillbots are actively harassing Superdelegates today, trying to get them to switch to her for Pres. She's still running, folks. She's not "grieving" or contemplating or waxing nostalgic for what was or what might have been: She's using the "grace period" Obama has given her to concede to instead actively try to steal the nomination out from under him by threats, intimidation, and underhanded dirty-dealing & backstabbing.
My post below and my website list places you can go to contact your Superdelegate. Put a stop to this outrageous, destructive bullshit TODAY.

Carter warns Obama not to pick Clinton as Veep
Obama has invited this surreal behavior by repeatedly refusing to point out the blatant misrepresentations and lies of the HRC campaign. Ironically, he has afforded her too much respect. The Obama campaign has responded like a first time parent while HRC has behaved like a spoiled child, repeatedly exploiting it's parents love, never satisfied with unjustified gains, always demanding more while it's irrational behavior goes unopposed. This has been his biggest mistake of the primaries and I hope this experience has tutored the parent for dealing with her going forward. We need the tough love of a 2nd time parent from him now. Hillary needs to deliver on her promised support, BEFORE she gets ANY candy.
There is a second lesson for Obama going forward - never let your opponent create a narrative based on falsehoods. The whole popular vote idea was farcical and easily shot down but Obama allowed Hillary to build a narrative of continued relevance upon it. Obama cannot allow his Republican opponents to create false narratives and I believe that he will not. I understand Obama's reticence to tear away Hillary's fig leaf - no Democrat could have known the depths of narcissism and divisiveness HRC would demonstrate because none of us wished to believe the Republican Clinton hate-mongering. Until she turned on her own party and their principles. I guess it goes to show that just sometimes there is a wolf, regardless of the track record of the crier.
I'll just say that I am happy to see HRC is part of the broad coalition of advocacy, labor, legal, religious and other organizations working with Equality California to fight the initiative here that will strip me and the man I'm marrying next month of our equal rights. It's good to see them on board.
As I typed this, breaking news just came out here. The California Supreme Court announces they will NOT intervene in the marriages set to begin this month. Let's go folks, I'm ready to fight.
Where are the public endorsements for Obama from Jimmy Carter and, more importantly, Albert Gore?
UPDATE:
The Guardian article says that Carter formally endorsed Obama last night. I haven't seen news of this. Anyone?
Recall Heather Wilson, Bush sycophant and Gonzales operative in AttorneyGate? She vacated her House seat to run for the Senate and she has lost to her challenger Steve Pearce, who is a jerk, but Tom Udall will easily take him out in November...more easily than he might have Wilson.
Udall (along with Wilson and Pearce) had vacated his House seat to run for the Senate seat of retiring Pete Domenici. Now Wilson and Pearce are out of the House and Udall is a guaranteed Dem win for the new Senate.
This is Big and very happy news to New Mexicans.
