Setting Herself Up as the Fall Guy
You have to hand it to Hillary--she doesn't do things by half-measures (except for progressive legislation, that is).

When she wants to be President, there is no mountain she won't climb, no caucus she won't avoid, and no foul she won't commit.

Hillary has offered herself up as the Judas goat. If McCain secures the White House, it will be because of all the nasty, twisty things Hillary did to get the nomination--WHETHER SHE'S THE NOMINEE OR NOT!

Frankly, I don't think the Democratic Party needs an(other) excuse for failure. It needs a way to win! So, no thanks, Mrs. Clinton. Take yourself in hand and let the party do its job.

4. Positive negativity
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 04:20 PM by PATRICK
She has also set herself up as the devil's Advocate that has proved and sealed the strength of the rookie Obama and inoculated him against the fall.

6. I really don't like this "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"
That sounds so anti-democratic.

Obama doesn't need to run against both candidates right now. It's enough to run against McCain. Since Hillary has no shot at the nomination, she should recognize it and withdraw, allowing Obama to focus on McCain.

Her attacks are more damaging for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it is polarizing the Democratic party, making it harder for her supporters to pivot this fall and work for Obama.

5. wonder if she's getting "30 pieces of silver" or maybe $54 Million more
can't wait to see her tax returns, betting she never shows the past 8 years or even
one year.

9. Neither candidate needs the likes of you on their side...
She will quit when her advisers tell her it's time... and if the shoe is on the other candidate, he will listen to his advisers as well.

All y'all who think you know more than the pros just crack me the hell up.
