Hillary Clinton Concession Speech: Suspends Campaign, Endorses Obama

I Am Not a Bargaining Chip, I Am a Democrat
Dear Hillary Rosen,
Throughout this campaign and as an Obama Supporter I have disagreed with you frequently. Your blog is staggering and precise. Not because you now support Obama, but because I was one, previously dead-set against HRC as VP, but had begun to change my mind - until she completed her speech last night.
I was so appalled and yes, angry, that one would demand respect while refusing to give it. I was appalled that she believes she "owns" the votes of 17 + Million people and that it was hers with which to bargain. I was appalled that our nation has shown itself to have risen above ALL Western Nations, and validated the efforts of many to reach a point in which an African-American would be nominated for President of the United States by a Major Party.
I was simply appalled.
I know that I am not alone and can't help but wonder how many were changing their minds too?
Thanks for your note. We ARE Democrats and we must bond together to ensure victory in November. No one person or powerful family should be allowed to stand in the way of our success.
Sincerely,

Obama Fails To Assuage White Indiana Voters With Speech On Race
I continue to be amazed at how low-brow, ignorant, and gullible the press (and often the Clintons) think voters are!
There will ALWAYS be ONE person of ANY race who will not vote for another based on their ethnicity. People like Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, Marcus Dalby, and Robert Byrd work had to perpetuate these views among the few that will listen to them.
Still, most Americans of ALL races are intelligent enough to see past these very basic tactics and look to the issues and the integrity of each Candidate. While none are perfect, Obama definitely leads the way. posted 04/01/2008 at 13:58:29

Frankly, the Lweinsky Scandal is a low-brow quesion and the least of our worries. Having said that, the scandal DID occur in the White House that WE pay for, resulted in the unnecessary expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars that WE paid for, and brought shame to the populace, and yes, that WE paid for. Thus, the question is in bounds.
Also, Celsea is no longer a little girl. Thus, if she is going to operate in the Big Time, she has to manage all that it entails. Bill, himself said, "This is politics. Let's quit crying foul and have a debate".

Hillary Clinton, who espouses being for the "Little Guy", has stiffed some of her most ardent Supporters - Ohio Businesses! This truly is shameful
We ALL know what will happen from this point: Clinton will utilize every base angle she can claiming people are being sexist, unfair, and that she is a victim in an effort to drum up donations.
With her campaign having CONSISTENTLY been in financial trouble, what indications are their that she can manage an enormous Federal Budget? No double-talk, claims of hate-mongering, or flat out lies can refute these facts.
Worse, Clinton has clearly broken her word by not immediately paying these poor Small Business Vendors. Another example of Clinton's being "Users for the Moment". Setting aside the Bosnia, Ireland, and other first-hand lies, how can she be believed to be a person of her word if she injures HER OWN Supporters?

You could not be more wrong. You infer that Hillary should be supported by women simply because she is a female, which is as ridiculous as stating that all African-Americans must support Obama because of his heritage.

America IS ready for a female President that is not only intelligent and tough, but honorable, truthful, and trustworthy. Unfortunately, the latter three attributes foil Hillary Clinton as indicated by White Water, Bonsia, Ireland, and her non-payment of monies owed the "Little Guys" who put their business on the line to help her in Ohio and Iowa. This is unacceptable regardless of the gender or race.
I am completely confident that a female President with the aforenoted characteristics (and more) will be elected by 2020 or earlier. Just NOT Hillary Clinton.

Hillary's Approval Rating Plummets In NBC/WSJ Poll
The poll information is interesting, but not revelatory in that none of us needed these numbers to confirm the Clinton's pattern of lying, bullying, and scandal of virtually every sort. Because they believe NONE are beyond their "reach", the Clintons have now resorted to intimidating the superdelegates with threat of their respective futures.
The damage the Clintons are doing to the Democratic Party is far worse than many believe, not that they care at all. Still, let's assume, for a moment that they did. Who can reliably poll the affect their actions have had on Younger Voters, the African-American Community, and Voters who are a part of neither of these two groups, but have become disenchanted from watching a powerful family literally attempt to circumvent the agreed-upon rules?
In the final analysis, the polls simply prove that the Clinton's "reach" exceeds their "grasp". posted 03/27/2008 at 10:11:03

Trey,
You are absolutely right! Obama needs to recall the confidence with which he behaved, spoke, and responded to difficult criticisms prior to the Wright incident. Make ANY discussion of Wright and/or other sensitive issues a part of his unflappable, straightforward demeanor. THIS is what unnerved his competitors, especially the Clintons, in the past.
Stick to the issues that are important; avoid getting into the weeds; hit back ONLY if necessary, however, if doing so is inevitable, hit back HARD. Obama will be in shape and at his "fighting weight" by the time he faces McCain.

1. You have supported your Mother's version of the Bosnia trip, as shared on more than three documented occasions, which has now been refuted by video and eye-witness accounts. How do YOU account for the discrepancy? Follow up: How does your Mom feel about having FAR less credibility tham Sinbad?
2. Sen. Clinton claims to be the most vetted, transparent politician in America. If such is the case, why the tremendous delay in releasing her tax reurns and Pres. Clinton's Foundations/Library Donors and when can we expect to see complete documentations of both?
3. Your Mom has claimed to have been against NAFTA from the beginning, despite video and written documentation denoting her full support. Why the reversal?
Would a straight answer be provided or will the Clinton Deflection Genes kick in?

Reid: "Things Are Being Done" To End Dem Primary Before Convention
Reid is clearly unwilling to allow to Clintons to squander a potential win in 2008 and virtually KILL the Party's future. The Clinton base and desparate behavior is beyond description as they believe that "Powers of Influence" are greater than the Will of the People reflected in the delegate count, popular vote, and number of states won. posted 03/25/2008 at 19:07:08

Is Hillary Positioning for 2012?
Most of us would rather avoid the "McCarthy Hearings" we would get with another Clinton White House.
BTW, Michigan and Florida HAD elections. Hillary Huckabee just wants ANOTHER mid-tream rules change. If Hillary were THAT good, why isn't she winning in the States that followed the rules?
I get it. She NEEDS to cheat simply to feel comfortable in her molting skin! posted 03/23/2008 at 00:12:05

Bill and Hillary Huckabee ARE calculating enough to be working on 2012.
The problem is their reputations, riddled with scandal, will continue to follow them even then.
Wonder when (or if) we will see their tax returns and foundation donations? Both would likely provide the media enough fodder to last for four years! posted 03/23/2008 at 00:07:32

Crunch Time: John Edwards Needs To Step Up For Barack
John Edwards should support Obama prior to Penn primaries as his stock continues to erode as time passes. Any move afterwards will be virtually worthless.

Another Bill Clinton Moment On The Campaign Trail
They obviously are already working on 2012. posted 03/22/2008 at 13:18:40
Bill and Hillary Huckabee make me ashamed they were ever in the White House at all. Despite his personal challenges, I has SOME respect for them which has COMPLETELY evaporated in the last year.
I hope the voters in the upcoming races, including the small States for whom they seem to have little regard, issue a savage rebuke when it is their turn to "pull the lever". I also hope other superdelegates will soon follow Bill Richardson's excellent example by showing clear support for Obama.
We have had ENOUGH of Bush/Clinton! posted 03/22/2008 at 13:17:52

Obama Endorsed By Bill Richardson
Richardson's endorsement is very significant on several fronts:
1. When one of his stature makes a move it signals to the other superdelegates that doing so is OK.
2. As one with extremely close ties to the Clintons, it signals more clearly what chances he thinks Hillary has.
3. Both his endorsement and the sterling manner in which presented it is challenging the SDs of higher stature to make their moves NOW to close the deal for Obama.
Hopefully, the floodgates will open. posted 03/22/2008 at 05:05:14

Not only does Obama have to work TWICE as hard, be TWICE as intelligent, have TWICE as much integrity, provide TWICE as many explanations (even when sufficiently done), and be held to TWICE as high a standard overall, activities such as this breach occurs.
