Tonight will Hillary continue to keep her voters mad at Obama? Or do what is best for the dem party.
Will Hillary again say she is winning the "popular vote" and "every poll" to keep her voters mad at Obama

Of course the two statements are not true. But her constantly doing this is one of the main reason her supporters stay so upset at this nomination.

If she really cares about Obama beating McCain tonight is the night she should take her words out on McCain and leave all the "read between the lines I am the nominee not him speech" on her tour bus.
Listening to Hillary doesn't sway my support for Obama but it does show why her supporters poll so badly against Obama when asked if they would vote for him in the gen election..

I really hope she does the right thing tonight to start the healing process of our great party.

1. Contrary to what some believe, it is up to *HRC* to call off her fanatics
...and tell them what's really at stake in this election.

It's her fault they're so upset because she lied to them about being pushed out of the race when she actually screwed it up on her own, and it's her fault that they're mad because they think she rightfully won it with popular votes when she lost it fair and square by the delegate count. She lied to them to create 'righteous' anger, and the Democratic Party should hold her responsible for making the big moves to repair the damage her campaign has caused.

But I'm doubtful that she's capable of that level of selflessness if she isn't along for the ride.

12. She owes it to the party, however, SHE did this. Let's see what she does now.

15. I think she wants to keep the party divided and keep her constituency angry
so that she has a better position to bargain from with respect to the VP slot.

It makes it easier for her to argue that adding her is essential to unity.

that's her plan, I think.

5. Your side is despicable in your own right. HRC couldn't change that
if she tried.

8. If she does the right thing, this will be the first time.
It's always been about Hilly, not the party. Remember all her help in 2000 and 2004? Oh that's right, she didn't help in either of those.

9. Both HRC and her husband have been spoiled with political power for too long to show ANY "grace"
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 03:48 PM by ShortnFiery
She will be looked upon in our future history books NOT as a role model for young women BUT as a tragic and bitter politician. Future hopefuls will study HRC's campaign behaviors as a *how NOT to* manual for future Democratic Presidential Primaries. :(

14. We dont like Obama because of his lack of character not because he opposes Hillary.
Rezko turns off tenement heat.
Obama literally steals his State Senate seat from AA progessive woman incumbant.
Hillary has nothing to do with it.
Id vote for any Dem before Obama.
Hes sleazy ,and for you all to accept that, shows you have low standards.
