Senator Clinton has acted like a stateswoman since deciding to concede
I am very impressed and gratified by her actions since deciding to concede the primary race to Senator Obama last Wednesday afternoon. From her full boar endorsement of Senator Obama last Saturday to her statement that said that she was not pushing for the VP slot and now to an item just posted on Mark Halperin's website, she has acted with class and honor. I am so glad she has decided to act this way.

Here is the Mark Halperin item. Not only has she released/urged her delegates to vote for Obama, she is also urging her fundraisers, some of whom are hurt, to fundraise for our presumptive nominee. These actions deserve to be commended. She is making good on her promise to work her heart out.

Clinton Camp Urges Donors to Back Obama
WashPost: Campaign’s finance director Mantz held a series of conference calls with major donors Tuesday “to urge them to throw their financial weight behind” Obama.
Source familiar with the calls: “Honestly, reaction has been mixed. There are a lot of hurt feelings out there. And a lot of folks that want to make sure Hillary is respected through the remaining process.”
Obama campaign manager Plouffe is expected to huddle with a number of Clinton donors later this week in New York City.
Plus: Clinton also reaches out to delegates in private conversations, conference calls, asking them to vote for Obama at the convention. Permalink

10. Exactly, I find her to be a dynamic lady
and terrific Senator...........she also was key in fundraising for all Democrats in the 06 Election. We won with money she helped raise for all of them.

OP is a hate-monger flaimbait bully.

Kiss My Ass OP'er...........

Vera for Peace and Unity

5. I've been very happy with how she has conducted herself
Unfortunately, the push for her to be Veep will only mean the choice will take longer, especially if she's the choice.

11. That's great.
And, Obama has always "respected" her...the other way around not so much.
