Obama's Hillary Snub will be nothing compared to....

[itsrobert]

if Hillary wins the General Election and snubs the people who endorsed Obama over her. I feel sorry for those young politicians when President Hillary goes on her warpath.

1. Flame bait stupid post

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

2. Fear mongering much?

Hillary has class and grace.

[OKNancy]

3. This post is dumb n/t

[lurky]

4. She plays hardball.

And supposedly has a very long memory. I keep reading that congresspeople are "scared" of endorsing anyone but Clinton.

5. Really? Show us one place where you read that.

If it's so common, you should find one instance pretty easily.

13. Sure. It's an undercurrent in a lot of discussion as well.

Frank Rich: "If Mr. Obama doesn’t fight, no one else will. Few national Democratic leaders have the courage to stand up to the Clintons."

New York Observer: An interview with Obama endorser about whether he fears repercussions from Clinton (He says no. What's he going to say, "yeah, I'm shitting my pants"?)

Wikipedia on Clinton media management: "A November 12, 2007 assessment by Michael Crowley of The New Republic of relations between the Clinton campaign and the press found that regarding published stories, "the Clinton media machine hyper-vigilant that no detail or editorial spin is too minor to draw a rebuke."<233> The Clinton camp was also reported to engage in retribution regarding stories they did not like, complaining to reporters' editors or withholding access in other areas:<233> "Even seasoned political journalists describe reporting on Hillary as a torturous experience."

That's just a sampling of the many references to this you will find out there.

For better or for worse, coercion is how politics gets done, and both Clintons are masters of it. Cross me, and I'll make sure your pet project gets defunded, or you get a crappy committee assignment, or the party backs a primary challenger against you. HRC is a very powerful senator with a lot of connections within the party. She can make life very difficult for less powerful congresspeople.

14. Thanks for the response

I don't like insinuation without evidence.

15. Fair enough.

6. That's the way I see it.

But others have a different take. We shall see. (Hopefully, we wont)

8. I somehow doubt that Ted Kennedy and Pat Leahy

are scared of Hill and Bill.

7. Is that an Obama avatar I see?

9. I think you're right!

Don't you feel blessed, now he's one of you?

10. She refused to shake Obama's hand after he announced he was running for Prez. nt

11. Hillary and Bill are not like that. That's just what people say about them.

Show me onetime when they were that way.

12. When Gore didn't want to campaign with Bill in 2000

Bill repaid him by not helping Gore in Dec 2000.
