Just to show how disorganized her campaign really was |
|
I really don't want to bash. But it's mind-boggling to me why she made the speech she did last night and endured the predictable tongue lashing, only to decide the very next day to concede.
I really don't understand why she didn't do this last night. The only possibility is that a large, influential group sat down with her to tell her how this works. In which case, it's not surprising her campaign was run so poorly if she can't at least get some grasp of reality without help.
God bless her, I wish her the best.

1. I heard that 8 of her senator superdelegates, promted by high level staff, |
|
talked her into conceding this afternoon.

4. Not sure, but Rangel spoke out earlier saying... |
|
... something to the effect of, "Unless she has some very good reason for not endorsing him already, and I can't think of any, she needs to endorse him now."

2. Seriously. This insane performance probably nailed the coffin shut on Hillary for VP. |

6. Let's hope so. That's the only good thing that came out of it. |
|
I think Obama knew he could not have her as VP, and this was a way to get beyond that.

She thought everybody was as delusional as she was (is).

7. She so missed the moment |
|
and so badly mis-judged the history of the moment.
Sad really...

8. Yeah, but once again, she's not conceding |
|
and Friday is a meeting with supporters to determine what she should do.

9. She said she wanted time to talk to her supporters - and then her supporters said, what the hell? |

12. This makes me feel sorry for her |
|
Maybe she really has been advised so poorly that she didn't know people weren't buying the whole popular vote nonsense. Something has to have gone seriously awry for her to really believe she had a chance to win.
