For me a line was crossed yesterday
1. I'll been an Obama supporter since Bill Richardson dropped out.

2. I've supported Sen. Clinton's right (wish) to continue campaigning.

3. I've not minded a lot of the kitchen sink stuff. Its politics. Politics is a tough sport. In the past candidates called each other bed wetters and much worse.

4. Using Karl's Rove's analysis as a reason to stay in the race crosses my line. Sen. Clinton has no chance of winning and should drop out on Wednesday or Thursday.

1. I feel she crossed the line with the endorsement of McCain over Obama as "Commander in Chief"

5. It's her "Jump the Shark" moment...err..i guess that was "Super Tuesday" and so
the "Commander in Chief" moment was indeed crossing the line

7. Question- Was the Karl Rove thing ok in your book or do
you wish she hadn't done it?

3. Hillary was likely to win Kentucky even if she dropped-out. This saves Obama some embarrassment. n/t

9. Richard Mellon Scaife was the final, final straw for me
How she could sit with the SOB that financed the hunting of her husband is still way beyond me. But it did show that she has few morals when it comes to pursuing power.

13. I'm right there with ya.
But if I had to choose a moment in the campaign, it's when she started using right-wing talking points to go after Obama. Boutique states, elitist, hard-working whites, etc.

15. Why?
Honestly, I don't understand the hysterics over this.

She was trying to say that she's not the only one who sees herself as the stronger candidate - even a political enemy like Karl Rove does.

Citing his numbers is in no way an endorsement of his philosophy. I honestly don't get what's so awful about this.

16. Its the end of a pattern
If this was the only RW thing she had embraced since March it would be no big deal.

17. Dude, you've lost all perspective.
I pulled you off my ignore list (along with the rest of your crew), but I won't try to reason with you.

If you can't understand why invoking a long list of HER political enemies is pathetic, then no one can help you.
