1. Good news. This is the right message and yes, it's gracious. n/t

[Muttocracy]

2. though it's still a little vague - not a clear "NO" nt

[writes3000]

4. It's asserting that it's his decision and she's not endorsing a public campaign to be VP.

Sure, she probably wants to be VP. But this defers to him.

It's not "you must make me VP". That's progress.

3. Now that she knows she's got no chance in hell of getting the nod.

  Of course she doesn't want it now that she knows she can't ever have it.

  Next up: Obama picks a female VP which is someone other than Hillary and Hillary's head explodes. For no reason, none at all. She didn't want to be VP, anyway. :evilgrin:

5. If she was half as good at campaigning as she is at keeping her name in the headlines

she wouldn't be in this position

6. you're right about that - serious attention hound. nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. That looks a lot like a critique.

Prove it!

13. Why is she still in the headlines?

as Jeffrey Toobin so clearly put it

"She.lost."

but yet everyday we see "Hillary says this" and "hillary says that"

IT ISN'T HER CALL ANYMORE

12. Actually she got pretty good at campaigning over the year's time

She didn't get good at campaign strategy, but I saw a drastic improvement in her personal performance on the road.

14. Well she got desperate and went for the jugular

which didn't really end up helping her that much anyway

[Adelante]

16. That, too

But I meant in how she connected with her audiences.

7. If she would release her delegates I'd believe it with no reservations. nt

8. Great, now that that's setlled, let's just move along.....n/m

10. Question: What's more embarrassing than blowing a 35 point lead for President?

Answer: Demanding to be VP and being turned down.

11. Good - it is not happening so best to start easing out of speculation

[Lucky 13]

15. Thank god.

She wouldn't be happy in that role anyway. I'm pretty sure both she and her supporters know that deep down.
