Wasn’t she the one who told Obama, while he was mired in the Reverend Wright smear campaign, that if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen? Fuck her.  
[/QUOTE]

It’s possible to feel empathy and understanding for her actions without forgiving them. I denounce and reject her, but that doesn’t mean I feel no empathy.

I’d rather do it the other way around. I forgive her, but that doesn’t make her actions any less crude.

Obama is going to be there with HRC? I would be worried about the Ellen Jamesians.

[QUOTE=holmes]  
It’s bizzaro world in Clinton land…one of her supporters Lenny something or other was just on MSNBC, telling us that “She needed time…but that time could’ve spread out to weeks…WEEKS, as it was a day to day decision.” Can you imagine? She wouldn’t reduce her delegates for WEEKS!

Thank god, those guys found the guts, to tell her to get out.  
[/QUOTE]

Probably Lanny Davis. The man is a complete moron and wrote an unsolicited letter to Obama urging him to pick Clinton for VP. Like that sort of thing is going to go over well.

After all the crap she’s pulled, I simply don’t trust her. Nothing ever transpires as expected. Until and unless I hear the words “I concede and unequivocally and unconditionally offer my full support and resources to ensuring Barack Obama is the next President of the United States” or similar sentiment, Hillary’s just a Cylon to me.

[QUOTE=Pashnish Ewing]

I was also trying to guess which ones were **ElvisL1ves** and **DrDeth**.  
[/QUOTE]

Except that I am not a Hillary supporter. I guess anyone that casts doubts upon Obama’s victory is a supporter of his opponent? :rolleyes:

My take:

The speech writer for her concession was holding the text hostage until he got paid in advance, in cash…didn’t happen.  
The venue? It was offered free of charge by a supporter.  
My worry: Is Hillary at risk for suicide? Yes, political for sure, but I’m talking about physically hurting herself. Yes, I’m serious.

If that were true, it would make you a McCain supporter.

[Adviser says Clinton to express support for Obama](http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5izQosMtCfjNjE1uAP6fQV2BZ_qWwD913IK100) (From the AP, not sure how long this page will stay current.)

And with that note, this thread is no longer needed and it is closed.

(If she indicates that she will fight to Denver in the next few days, I will re-open it.)  
(Edited to fix link–it had not expired THAT quickly.)
