Comments on: The Clinton Campaign's Final Chapter

Washington Post: Among Insiders, The Night Of May 6 Will Be Remembered As The Moment It Really Ended

She should just suspend her candidacy like John Edwards did. Congratulate Barack and wish him well, then walk away and see what transpires. By the tone of the comments here, it seems he will not need all those voters that were for her, on his side.

"While being treated in the psychiatric ward for her attack on Barrack Obama in Colorado,Bill ahd a chance meeting with Monica Lewinsky.He divorced Hillary soon after,married Lewinsky,and moved to France.Hillary can be seen these days,wandering the streets of New York,pushing a shopping cart with a woman known only as "Rowdy" in it,both of them yelling at the top of their lungs "It ain''t over yet!"

[jack3213]

Up till now, and far be it for me to ask, being too late in the game, and for humorous purposes only:
Noone has yet said or answered the question:
"WHAT HAS HILLARY DONE TO PROVE SHE IS QUALIFIED?" I suppose being just a Senator is enough these days?
So, now the question is put forth to Obama :
"WHAT HAS HE ACHIEVED TO PROVE HE IS QUALIFIED?"

We all know McCain has more life experiance for one, and for two- HE is an honorable vet whom= has seen first hand what war is, what is possible to change war, and what exatly CHANGE means.

Hamas Un-Endorses Obama after speech to Pro-Israel Lobby

Hamas, Israel, Jerusalem, John McCain, Palestinians
WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama may have taken care of his Hamas problem on Wednesday with a speech to the AIPAC pro-Israel lobby.


That may have changed Wednesday, when Obama went before American Israel Public Affairs Committee in Washington a day after clinching the Democratic nomination and declared his strong support for Israel.



Hamas promply unendorsed Obama, a Christian who has had difficulty dispelling a rumor campaign suggesting he is a Muslim and that his advisers have a pro-Arab bent.

%u201CObama%u2019s comments have confirmed that there will be no change in the U.S. administration%u2019s foreign policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict,%u201D Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters in Gaza.

%u201CThe Democratic and Republican parties support totally the Israeli occupation at the expense of the interests and rights of Arabs and Palestinians,%u201D he said.

%u201CHamas does not differentiate between the two presidential candidates, Obama and McCain, because their policies regarding the Arab-Israel conflict are the same and are hostile to us, therefore we do have no preference and are not wishing for either of them to win,%u201D Zuhri said.

Apparently Kornblut and Balz wrote this article with the intend to appease Clinton and her supporters.

They cite factors that hurt the campaign such as it was at times dysfunctional or a husband that said things he shouldn''t, or people who didn''t deliver for her, or a public that didn''t give her credit for her victories, or a media who was unfair, or she was besieged by sexism, on and on and on!

But, they fail to cite the REAL reason, that''s Hillary herself! Her attitude was NEGATIVE from the beginning. She conveyed the aire that she was ENTITLED to the presidency! She thought she could win it by employing negative campaign tactics!

What she failed to understand---strangely enough---was that the public was dead tired with the negative, dirty campaigning tactics! THAT''S what cost her the election! Had she come out at the beginning and ran a positive campaign, I believe she would have won it!

Her failure to immediately endorse Obama and unify the party makes her look like a sore loser! And, a very SMALL person---character wise.

She''s alienated millions of voters, if she wants to run for president again in the future, she needs to adjust the attitude and recapture the trust of the public; otherwise, she doesn''t have a chance!

She wasn''t beaten by Obama, she beat herself!

DINGY NEIGHBORHOODS????

I am latino. I am offended. Some of us call DINGY neighborhoods home. Look in a thesaurus to see what words come to mind.

Disgusting.

John McCain 08!!!!!!!!

[nanging3]

I will not vot fro ANY ticket with racist, radical, Obama on it...

Obama has on staff several nation of Islam members:
"Obama employed and continues to employ several Farrakhan acolytes in high
positions on his Illinois and U.S. Senate campaign and office staffs."

That raises the question of an actual ''relationship'' with Farrakan...

[nanging3]

Father Pfleger, has been suspended for a few weeks. He will probably be snuck back in under the radar. We want him shipped to Kenya or defrocked.. We are sure he can get a job at TUCC, with the other radical, racist, Marxist..

Please sign to demand he be removed permanently%u2026This is not his 1st rodeo !
He has been preaching, according to one parishoner, %u201CBlack Theology%u201D from the sacred pulpit, that was entrusted to him, of the catholic church since 1981.

Oh, I agree - McCain and Clinton are perfect for each other. Both hopeless relics, tied to sleazy and shady financial deals, and with teeth-baring, children-scaring grimaces for smiles. And think of the fun we''d have with that manic red-faced finger-waving Bill running around in the background. Why, we''d have endless war AND sleaze ALL the time! What a great idea!

Today Obama said he wants Bill Clinton on his team, because he is so "transcendent".

[randynason]

Personally, I tend to peek at the final chapter before I actually get underway reading a book. -heh-
This was no romance novel, my dear.

If the reports are true Hillary has chosen to fall on her sword and go down with the Dems.

As for voters my confidence says, in spite of everything which is happening, we will do what is right and prudent, because we are the most fantastic and advanced society on the planet.

[briannorwood]

After reading this article, it seems Hillary felt she got "slapped in the face" alot. NARAL, the DNC, the Superdelegates.

Fact is, she ran a lousy campaign. She lost and that''s about it.

[libh8er]

''Is Hillery really that unpopular among the Dems??
I didn''''t think she was all that bad.''

The press is treating she and Bill in a manner deserving of how they should have been treated back in the 90''s.

But, back then, they were the LAMEstream media''s darlings. Now, they have a new leftwing, socialist liberal to back so they threw the Clintons under the bus.....like Cindy Sheehan.....disposable people.

[flreason]

The problem with Hillary on the ticket is Bill. Her candidacy was always a 2-for-1. I think both Hillary and Bill would have a hard time with being #2 after having been #1. Obama doesn''t need someone constantly second-guessing him...there are enough Republicans to do that. She will have more power in the Senate than as VP. And VPs have rarely succeeded at being elected to the top post, if she still has Presidential aspirations. They''re always saddled with the sins of their bosses.

[aldon61]

I''d like to get some opinions on whether Obama should add Hillary to the ticket. My gut say''s NO, but there is some logic to adding her to the ticket. In my opinon, she has too many negatives and her own words that she''s used against Obama can be brought up again. Her negatives include the Bosnia event, husband Bill, lack of preparation for a major campaign and mishandling her finances during the campaign. On the other hand, her supporters are energized, and very loyal to her. They may either stay home or vote for McCain. I''m not sure Obama can carry some of the swing states like Florida and Ohio, maybe Pennsylvania without her. Let''s try to get a discussion going on this.

She wasn''t until half way through the election cycle. She was the presumptive nominee, all she had to do was show up and she would have been chosen. Then she made the mistake of underestimating her opponents and underestimating the value of caucuses and some of the early states and Obama took advantage of that. After Super Tuesday it was all down hill with Hillary going on and on about how she was being unfairly attacked. The whining lost her the election.

[taddles2]

"Clinton told her advisers that one reason she was committed to staying in was out of loyalty to those supporters, and her belief that they could be rallied to Obama more easily if she was allowed to finish the campaign on her own terms."


What an utter load of cr4p. Hillary''s concern was rallying middle class voters to Obama?!?! If she actually said that she should be crucified.

Hillary has been all about Hillary since day one, she was the "chosen", the "pre-ordained" queen of the ball that everyone was just supposed to roll over and vote for because she was Bill''s wife.

[questionnews]

Local polls here in the NW show that 54% of democrates do not want Obama to offer Clinton the VP spot. Many indicated that if Clinton is on the ticket they will either vote for McCain or won''t vote at all.
