I still believe that there should be an Obama/Clinton ticket IF the dems want the big house. There's no way Obama can win this without her - or former President Clinton. Like it or not - the underdog's on top! Great article! I still believe that there should be an Obama/Clinton ticket IF the dems want the big house.

This has been going on for a long time yet both Clintons have managed to survive and prosper because too many Americans, when given a chance to hear directly from the Clintons, like what they stand for. The celebration going on in the media over the supposed demise of the Clintons is unprofessional and bizarre. Does anyone think that there will be similar ecstasy over the demise of the Bush dynasty when George is out, even though the father was mediocre and the son has been a debacle.

After all, "Change You Can Believe In" is NOT voting for John McCain, which would be like the next term of George Bush. Hillary said it best: "George Bush and John MCCain are two sides of the same coin and that does not amount to a whole lot of Change."

How can you say you believe in Sen Clinton and her policies and vote for someone who is the complete opposite of what she believes in. We as a country must step back and look at the big picture and realize that our country is at stake. To the supporters of Sen Clinton who is planning on voting for Mccain.

I doubt you will be seeing BO and Hillary on the same stage in the future. She has so much more experience, class, speaking ability, and depth and being on stage with her makes BO look like a poor choice. I love Hillary but will vote McCain in 2008 Regarding the abortion issue that liberal Democrat men think they can use to snap women into line. 1. Because paternity testing is now cheap and accurate (unlike 1970) men will not throw out the right to abortion because now women are not the only ones who will pay for unwanted pregnancy. 2. The many formerly radical women who fought for abortion rights in 1970 are no longer fertile and could not possibly need an abortion making other issues more important to them, like a non sexist media. 3. Birth control is more available, effective and safe than in 1970. Hillary looked great as usual at the fake unity event. I doubt you will be seeing BO and Hillary on the same stage in the future.

It would be the worst thing that he can do for "his" presidency. Why? Because Hillary likes the limelight too much to ever make it work. I don't believe she would ever accept being the second in command and have to work in the background. Being second fiddle is not in her personality.

Will she come back? Who cares! Liberal Democrates are destroying this country by giving rights to terrorist who try and kill Americans, to having law makers in MA say they will tear apart children who have been raped, to having the ACLU try and take away rights from Christians and only Christians, to not wanting to drill off the coast of the US to save the enviroment... oh wait China is already drilling there so the enviroment is getting destroyed anyway, ..... WOW wait to go. So as far as the Clintons or for that matter any democrate is concerned who really cares.

The Clinton camp makes it sound like they are the only one who gather a large group of supporters. To be fair to Hillary, she isn't Bill and ahe will folow her own path. Following the Clinton strategy probably cost her the nomination more than any of her other mis-steps. I see HRC being more of a team player than Bill could ever be and a strong leader within the democratic party. The Clinton's as a pair are finished and people are getting tired of Bill but HRC has just begun her own chapter.

To the woman who just posted before me, first off I am about 38 years old and find going to college very expensive. I cannot even think I will be able to break into any profession. I got good grades and that, but some of the Ivy league schools wont even take me. I see more women breaking into professions than I can dream in my lifetime. They got accepted over me and I served my country. I think Obama earned his way thru the ranks like Clinton did. I think by voting for McCain your only mortaging your daughter's future and freedoms and dreams by voting for him. I used to be a Republican up till 2 years ago and decided to go Independant because I did not like what I saw and learned about its history. As much as Hillary did not get it, she may still get selected as VP and then down the road run for president again. Give Obama his due as I feel he played by the rules.Like the saying goes in my generation and younger, don't hate the player, hate the game. Shame so many women feel this way.
