Concession Revisited: What I Wish I'd Heard Her Say
I wish Hillary had been able to transcend that constantly reiterated "I" and exhort her followers to embrace the perspective of "we". That might have done something to influence obdurate positions.

I never paid attention to Bo Diddley's lyrics; I was simply moved by the rhythms. But the passing of Hillary Clinton's campaign makes them seem quite relevant.

How did Obama's historic win, turn into a story about Clinton's race for the VP? Obama has to stay on message. Clinton isn't change. If your donors are insiders, you're gonna be the same old-same old.

I can't help but sense a subtext in her odd decision to end the speech by reminding us, for a second time, that Democrats have a lousy track record in modern presidential elections.

Clinton's tenacity, her desire to be a model intelligent women in the public sphere influencing governance, has turned the scarlet letter she has been made to wear-- A for Ambition-- into a badge of honor.

I'm sixty years old. I can't recall a time--ever--that any man who lost a close election demanded "time to adjust to the pain of losing" before conceding. Hillary lost a close one and got a case of the vapors.

We can credit Hillary with many gifts, among them, however, is not a mastery of timing: The "experience" candidate's campaign is a textbook example of right things done at wrong times.

Feminism isn't the same now in the wake of the Clintons. Clinton campaign is partly responsible for femininity's evolution from equality between genders, to expectation among genders.

It's true, I didn't get many votes, but by the rules of politics I get to make my own decision about when I stop running, and no one else, not even America, is going to make it for me.

Hillary seemed to be saying "with my departure from the race the world is left to geese and fools like Obama." Not a word about McCain. Nobody ever expected better of her. Wait -- somebody did. Me.

What magic did the boy-wizard use to achieve his victory? Bow and arrow, lance and rocks, gun powder and lead. "No," he replied, "Just math." It has been like Eliot Ness, using the IRS to take down the mob.

Make your case based on the electability argument. It may be persuasive. Don't stir up our base with anger and the irrationality of the "if onlys."

The letter is a window into the post-rational mind of Hillary Clinton in the waning days of her lifelong dream. It's a doomed Hail Mary, with its typos and misrepresentations and flat-footed play for sentiment.
