Also discussion about Clinton as a negative along with Bill, rather than the IMMENSE asset she would be.

"We all talk about the Clintons," Matthews said at the conclusion of a diatribe about the national obsession with Bill and Hillary. "I have never been at a party where it doesn't become a topic. Who are we gonna talk about? Bob Dole? John Kerry? Al Gore?"

Daily, they have exceeded what I thought were the outer reaches of contempt for women.

Under Boss Roolz, a woman who's ten times qualified and has a record that far outstrips an unaccomplished empty suit like Obama isn't even being relegated to cargo class but brought to the center square to be vilified, insulted, demeaned and even stripped of her accomplishments.

Oh yeah, and asked to clean up after the Party.

Thanks a Brazilian -- Dems can ride to glory on their own steaming stack of BS.

They should be grateful that I'm strong-willed because it's the only thing keeping a diehard Proud Liberal like me from actively supporting McCain (in the hope it clears the fetid jackass stables that is today's House of Dem.)

They will come to reality .. sooner or later..

really, you should know by now, everything is the fault of the clintons, from forcing adam & eve to eat the apple, all the way up to making pres. bush say something stupid in public now. it's. all. their. fault.

It just occurred to me.

When Senator Obama finally extends his hand, perhaps it will be like a musical some of us old tired white folk may have heard tell of:

And what about the Party?  Ah, that's where Hillary can be brilliant.

Most people by that time will understand what we all here on TL already know:  this Nomination wasn't the Will of the People, but a select few at the DNC.  Furthermore, by most logical accounts and EV maps, the Nominee is almost a certain loser.  A President McCain, for many people, won't be such a bad idea after taking a long, hard look at what the Democrats are offering.

So, Hillary focuses on getting out there and campaigning for Downticket Dems State-by-State.  The crowds she'd get, the money she'd raise, the sense of love and fidelity she'd earn ... her efforts to support the Party (a promise she's made time and again regardless of who the Nominee is) may do a lot to save the Dems from a total blow-out this year.  We won't get the White House, but we'll protect our House and Senate numbers.

Because of this, she becomes a very popular Dem figure and, post-November Election as we march toward a McCain Inauguration with the Media doing their usual "how idiotic is the Democratic Party" post-mortem and finally offers the facts and figures we're all familiar with here.  

And people around the Country will be absolutely livid that, much like Gore in 2000, the BEST candidate was essentially robbed of the Nomination (or Presidency, in Gore's case) due to the actions of those who wield power.

In other words, Hillary becomes the Gore of 2012 and, unlike Gore, is more than willing to get into the next fight.
