The backlash against Hillary Clinton's self-aggrandizement has begun.

1. FINALLY!!
She won't give up until she has been utterly humiliated.

Why is that a better strategy than losing with grace and dignity? I just don't get it.

2. Maybe he'll signal his former Veep to keep her nasty opinions to herself.

6. This could turn into a major embarrassment.
She should have seen this coming. And would have, if she wasn't so pre-occupied by 'what does Hillary want?'

19. Rahm just wants the same thing Bobby Kennedy Jr. wanted from Hillary
...a vacant Senate seat.

Not that I'm a Rahm Emmanuel fan by any means.

20. If Bill's smart, he'll probably lock himself up in the basement with the Hillabong
And "not inhale" for a couple days.

5. She believes she can present a good argument
Edited on Wed Jun-04-08 10:41 AM by gateley
to encourage Obama supporters to switch their votes to her at the convention. I wonder if seeing those already in her camp leaving will make her realize that it's folly.

15. If it's her plan (and this is just my take - nothing more)
to entice the SD's to her side, the more that back Obama make it that much more unlikely she'd succeed. So, yeah, I'm with you rv -- I hope they all leave.

As of today, Obama has passed the half-way mark. He now has over half of the SDs.

only because Clinton carried CA. That speaks VOLUMES.
