She's good, I'll give her that. Just not good enough.

Hillary is an impressive woman (at times), but the die is cast and some of her closing statements would indicate she knows.

[trumad]

1. She's a woman...

God I'd never know unless you told me.

[whatchamacallit]

7. WTF?

So the sexism hysteria has now gone so far 'around the bend' that even referring to the fact of someones sex is a slight? Do you honestly have a problem with the terms "impressive woman" or "impressive man"? Please either explain your issue or STFU!

edit: transposed words

11. I agree. Hang in there. nt

[polichick]

2. Yes, she knows...

And it's gotta be hard to let go of a lifelong dream. I almost wish we could have two presidents.

5. just because she wants it doesnt mean she gets it

reference childhood pony metaphors.

[Yurovsky]

3. She could have been great ...

had she not decided that the road to the White House required a series of right turns.

If you look at her past, she clearly started out as a progressive. Somewhere along the way (Arkansas?) she changed. I'm not sure if her heart changed, or if she just figured it was easier to get ahead with a more DLC-friendly message/tactics.

Oh, she'll have a long Senate career. Probably even be Majority Leader before too long. But she coulda been President. America finally came around to the progressive place she resided 35 years ago, but alas she had moved right, and Obama filled the vacuum. A heavy dose of charm/charisma didn't hurt BHO, either.

6. It's a powerful lesson about BEING YOURSELF...

Hillary is a much better person than her politics indicate.

[Colobo]

8. Hillary can't believe what's happening to her campaign.

And, in a way, most experts can't believe it either.

[polichick]

9. This may sound a little crazy at this point, but...

I think Hillary is learning a powerful lesson that will help her do incredible work in the future.

[whatchamacallit]

10. No, I think you're right

We all have the capacity to learn and grow (even me), and there's some good stuff in her already. Like they say; what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I like your tude polichick.

[polichick]

12. Well, thanks! :)

[whatchamacallit]

14. You're welcome!

4. To little to late, but she is good in this format. Can't deny her that

[loveangelc]

13. It seemed somewhat like a concession.
