Hillary Hit's The Road For Obama !!! ETC.
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton will spend the next two days in Florida campaigning for Barack Obama,including an appearance Monday morning at an event in Kissimmee,then Tampa and Orlando.Hillary Clinton has also been asked to concentrate on the working-class districts of Ohio,Pennsylvania and Michigan.President Bill Clinton will also be on the road soon.
Evidence so far shows that Palin is not drawing a lot of support from voters outside the Republican base.I don't believe Hillary was making those 18 million cracks for Sarah Palin.McCain insults Women and ALL Hillary supporters! The notion that Hillary's women will automatically become Sarah's carries the implicit assumption that a woman is a woman is a woman is a woman, that disaffected female supporters of Clinton will flock to Palin because she has the right reproductive organs and never mind that, politically, the two could hardly be less alike. Never mind pro-choice versus pro-life. Never mind Iraq, Iran, gas prices, the mortgage crisis, failing schools. Chromosomes conquer all.Palin-McCain is practising the same slash and burn politics of division of the Bush years.
On a footnote:
The "unity" convention in Denver is over. But some Hillary Rodham Clinton delegates are back home in California and other states stewing over what they describe as pressure from Barack Obama allies to create a false image of overwhelming support for the Democratic presidential nominee.For those Hillary delegates who went through so much at the convention I post this link:
Just Say No Deal
I remember California and other states 'passing'.I remember delegates not voteing as they were pledged.Not a real Roll Call at all! Before Obamas VP was announced,I remember a local festival I went to, a guy in a Obama booth being disrespectful of Hillary.It is apparent Obama DID make a mistake not choosing Hillary as VP.I just hope for the good of our nation it is one that can be overcome.

Well, the cracks are for any woman regardless of her belief system.
The question we need to ask ourselves is - does the woman who has broken through the cracks agenda represent OUR agenda? And is she qualified, experienced, etc?
I truly believe McCain selected Palin for three prime reasons:
1. To allow the Republican Party to "make history"
2. To prove the Republicans are capable of change
3. Because Palin is a maverick Republican like McCain (although most of her agenda is the OPPOSITE of McCain's...)
It is an unfortunate "added bonus" that her gender has attracted a number of Hillary supporter.
McCain was not trying to find a way to gain Hillary supporters.
He was trying to find a way to get the media attention away from Barack and back onto the Republicans, and he wanted to rejuvenate his party.
The "making history/Yes, we can Change" route was working so well for Democrats that he decided to steal that fire.
Now the Republicans are "making history" and "proving that yes, we can change", and as a result, McCain/Palin are all over the news and the Republicans are in a joyous frenzy.
"Not a real Roll Call at all!"
The DNC pre-orchestrated that.
In order to "prove" that Hillary was behind Barack, and to unify her supporters behind Barack, the DNC orchestrated a situation in which New York would give Obama the winning number of delegates.
To do this, states with the largest delegate totals (and all those states except Illinois were pledged to Hillary) had to pass.
Otherwise, Obama would gain enough delegates before New York was called, and Hillary wanted New York, her state, to be the state that awarded Obama enough delegates.
When New York pledged for Obama, Hillary interrupted the roll call vote - which was pre-orchestrated - and legally declared Obama the Presidential nominee, declaring that all the delegates were behind Obama 100%.
She should be given the Nobel Peace Prize, and the Presidency, and Sainthood, for doing that - no other losing candidate has done THAT MUCH to persuade supporters to support someone else.
I personally felt that her actions proved once again why SHE was more qualified to be President than Obama.
She exhibited a level of grace under pressure that nobody else could have ever endured.
Everything she has said and done to get her supporters behind Obama has only proven that she is the more rational and compassionate and eloquent and giving of the two candidates, which ironically makes her a divisive figure, because the more she persuades her followers to back Obama, the more she proves that SHE is the better person and induces her followers to cling to her.
"It is apparent Obama DID make a mistake not choosing Hillary as VP."
Absolutely.
But I believe that the night when Hillary cancelled her candidacy and she met with Obama, either she told him, "no", or he told her, "no". That decision was made that night.
Hopefully she will write a novel about her experiences as Senator and Presidential nominee, and she will reveal the reasons for not being the VP.

Please pass it on!
Do we know if he did not choose Hillary? Palin said on the Charlie Gibson interview (which was quite amusing) that she thought Obama probably regretted no picking Clinton now.
Can someone tell me what we do know about what happened?
I have seen a couple of commentators say that Biden could actually pull out and she could be put in, if it meant the votes of 18 million. Is that so remote that it's not even a possibility? I will stand behind Obama no matter what happens,
The DNC should have been a little smarter and not gone all-out with Axelrod. Manipulating and paying off superdelegates to get your guy selected doesn't play well with a lot of Democrats outside of Chicago. Good luck in November.
