Obama was right when he stated that it's not that Hillary keeps running that is hurting the party; it's how she's been running.
She could keep running, and if she stopped her unfair attacks on Obama and started fairly attacking John McCain, then it wouldn't hurt the Democratic Party a bit.
Neither approach seems likely to win, but which approach would better help her place in history?
Go ahead Hillary, run. But run honestly and fairly.
After all, I really would like my June 3 Democratic primary vote to count.
But she certainly is not going to win that vote with the way she's been campaigning.

1. Good point. If she were attacking McCain instead of Obama, |
|
...then she'd be helping the Democrats.
Instead, she's praising McCain and attacking Obama.

She's a Repuke-lite in a Democrat's clothing.

2. By attacking Obama, she's gotten off her message |
|
Remember when Hillary used to go around talking about issues like health care? Now it's almost non-stop Obama attacks, everything from his "lack of experience" to his pastor. Along the way, she's gotten herself in some pretty stupid shit like the Bosnia story. By focusing on attacking Obama, she's allowed herself to wander off course. And in responding to Hillary's nonstop attacks, Obama has also allowed himself to get off his message.

7. Oh, please, BO is a baldfaced liar who has played the race card |
|
ever since S.C. and there is NO WAY he can beat McCain.
IF he manages to get the nomination through continued pressure on superdelegates, his name will join those of Humphrey, McGovern, Mondake, Dukakis, and Kerry, because rightwingers don't vote for Dems except in caucuses and primaries, trying to get the Dems to choose a weak candidate, as you should well know.
I voted for all those I named above, plus other Dems who were elected, but I will not vote for BO if he gets the nomination and there are a lot of voters who feel the same way I do.
His lies, his smugness, his sense of entitlement have turned a lot of people off, and the Obama cult has not helped. So if he's the nominee, a lot of Dems will vote third party or stay home. Some even say they may vote for McCain.
IF you want to beat McCain, support Clinton, not Obama.

10. Ya think? My new rule is to just ignore anyone who accuses Obama |
|
of playing "the race card".
It saves so much time.
