This Has To End NOW!
I know I was feeling that "Oh well, he's clearly won, give her a couple of state wins and she'll bow out gracefully" but whoa was I wrong!
Here is an article on Daily Kos Hillary's "white Americans" causing quick firestorm that will have you agreeing! Here is one except:
From Jack and Jill Politics a leading African American Blog:
Apparently not satisfied with her plummeting approval ratings among black voters, Hillary Clinton decided to remind us again that our votes don't actually count...
This kind of comment is less a description than an agitator, it's meant to give white voters the impression that they would be "disenfranchised" by an Obama win. It's a not so subtle effort to evoke racial resentment over Obama's success...
That's what the "elitist" charge has always been about, appealing to the sentiment that "this black guy thinks he's better than you." It will be the same against the Republicans. The difference is that they now have Democrat saying the same things to further legitimize this line of "argument".
Let me know if anyone agrees!!
I'm happy to announce that she and her comments no longer bother me. Well, not as much.
She is in her final death-throws, likely, so all this is are final protests as she floats off the radar.
Now I'm starting to sharpen my teeth for McCain.
Good news for Clinton Supporters: Post-Bosnia, Hillary now has up to a .07% chance of winning the dem nomination if she keeps her mouth shut until December.
Word. How right you are. Some folks actually fear she'll be politically viable as a presidential candidate in 2012. Nah. She has turned off a lot of major players, as well as the public. Quite of few of those political players are the former Hillary loyalists who turned against her and endorsed Obama. Early on, she even lost a campaign organizer who shifted to Team Obama.
And up until now plenty of supporters have felt a need to ignore what the pubs have been onto for years: that she is not trustworthy, and has character defects. This long campaign has allowed her true colors to show, however. Now it's harder for people to deny how lacking she is.
I think her political career days in general are numbered.

This great comment, compliments of columnist George Will. (Sandi, there is even a plug in here for the caucus states. Barbara, this is the mother of all run-on sentences.;-) What a kissoff to Hillary, and an explaination of her mickey mouse math.
< After Tuesday's split decisions in Indiana and North Carolina, Clinton, the Yankee Clipperette, can, and hence eventually will, creatively argue that she is really ahead of Barack Obama, or at any rate she is sort of tied, mathematically or morally or something, in popular votes, or delegates, or some combination of the two, as determined by Fermat's Last Theorem,** or something, in states whose names begin with vowels, or maybe consonants, or perhaps some mixture of the two as determined by listening to a recording of the Beach Boys' "Help Me, Rhonda" played backward, or whatever other formula is most helpful to her, and counting the votes she received in Michigan, where hers was the only contending name on the ballot (her chief rivals, quaintly obeying their party's rules, boycotted the state, which had violated the party's rules for scheduling primaries), and counting the votes she received in Florida, which, like Michigan, was a scofflaw and where no one campaigned, and dividing Obama's delegate advantage in caucus states by pi multiplied by the square root of Yankee Stadium's Zip code.>
