I think Hillary will slash and burn the Democratic party to get nominated
She does NOT have the best interests of the Country or our party at heart, she only cares about getting nominated. Her tactics are abominable, and her derisive comments about Obama only divide us further. Her latest attacks on Obama are juvenile at best, and winning in Pennsylvania will not save her selfish ass.

Time for her to give up and let history take it's course.

1. nah, she wants to run again in 2012
She knows this is lost to O but if he beats McCain, she will need ot wait until 2016.

She will be to old by then.

4. Hillary slashed and burned herself at last night's debate:
"I said some things I knew not to be the case." - Hillary admitted to being a liar.

5. I USED to believe Hillary would slash and burn the Democratic party to get nominated. Now I believe
she would slash and burn the Democratic party to handicap us in November so she can mount a renewed campaign in 2012.

12. I'll say it here then... you're right... here you go
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 03:49 PM by crankychatter
This is what will happen I think. This will look like spam before I'm done repeating myself.

The SD's will be out soon and join the voters, bringing Obama to the requisite number for the nomination. Clinton will not concede with real grace, until August, no matter what.

There will be continued litigation and complicity from the Corporate Media, spinning the Florida/Michigan Self-Martyrdom.

We will exit the Convention with only ten weeks for Obama to campaign against McCain. Clinton may at that time profer some "support," but it will be meaningless by that time.

The only hope I believe we have is to keep working the phones and donating for Obama, but presume the Primary Contest is over, and register new voters for November.

Act as if Obama is the nominee, but at least SOME of Clinton's supporters will make good on their promise to vote for McCain.

Put OUT the tentstakes and invite the cynical, non-voting majority and our progressive brethren in the Green Party home... with US, where they belong.

I have a tambourine and a gospel choir ready to go.

I think it's time... high time.

I'll be registering voters in Missouri and working the phone... you?

13. I work six days a week, and if I can afford it I will donate as much as possible
To his campaign. I will work at least a couple of nights at Democratic headquarters in my county once the nomination is complete.

And I agree with your analysis 100%.

14. How about a Debate right NOW between Obama and McCain?
Without inviting Clinton?

Who would do that?

15. Uh, you're a little late to the party....
This is not news. She has been using the scorched earth approach for two months.

Which says a LOT for Obama.
