Slog - Comments on She's Still Out There http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/shes_still_out_there So much for speculation that Hillary Clinton would end her campaign today. She's stumping in West Virginia—oh, and she had to lend her campaign $6.4 million last month. And a Clinton campaign official tells the Washington Post that they "lost this thing in February." But no one, it seems, has told Clinton....

Whatta shame.

Ted Kennedy, with far less votes than Hillary, did that in 1980 and spiced up the convention. It’s good television. I must say, however, that I was amazed that Hillary’s campaign allowed a gloomy faced Bill to stand behind her at her speech last light and totally upstage her. It was pathetic.

The Clinton's seem to be forming their own Republicrat party -- I thought Lanny Davis was going to lose his mind last night on CNN. He was dishing out Clinton-speak so desperately, and you could hear the other panelists laughing in the background. It was good fun.

If the Democrats ran more candidates like her instead of effete pricks like Gore or Kerry they would be in the White House now. And Mike in Iowa the same argument applies to Ralph Nader.

No one wants Obama to carry that kind of stink into the general election. She has to stay in until after her strong states have voted. Maybe she just won't try so hard.

Also, anyone think that Obama will pay Hillary's campaign debts to get her out of the race?

Hillery Clinton is determined to be president, and, having lost 2008, she is doing whatever it takes to win 2012.

Amen, brother! I keep thinking Kerry and the Swift Boaters. Obama needs to TAKE CONTROL of the talking points, and tell the public specifics about his plans. If he thinks defending himself against inane questions about Rev. Wright and lapel pins is tiring, he hasn't seen anything yet!

It might also be the lesson in humility she so desperately needs.

More importantly, I think a Clinton Vice Presidency would be a bullet proof shield for Obama. No right-wing-wacko would dare assassinate Barak if the result would be President Hillary Clinton.

Obama's ego and vindictive streak will show itself with this. He'll choose a female, like Sebelius, as VP, just to torpedo any 2016 possibility for Clinton. He's bitter, very bitter, and he's out to destroy the Clintons.

(Or Edwards or Biden or Kucinich and a few others...)

But as memories of the bad side of the Clinton white house re-emerged and HC became more and more the 'vindictive bitch', I lost all respect for her... Yep, I would have held my nose and voted for her in November. (Still would.)

But her refusal to see reality and her willingness to obliterate an entire country because they have a mad-man in charge makes her seem just too much like Dubya.

Still better than McCain, I guess, but now I'd need to clothes-pin my nose if a train hits Obama.
