Why are you saying this? She was extremely graceful yesterday being very complimentary to Mr. Obama and visa versa. They both realize what a historic run it has been. They both need each other. Sure she's not jumping for joy at losing after coming so close, but she's going to back him regardless because she wants a democrat in the white-house.
I'm happy for Obama and will vote for him no matter what, even though I was a Hilliary fan, but I'm praying for a Obama-Hilary ticket. But regardless of the ticket I'm praying Obama wins White-house.
good point Tweety
We do have to realize that we seldom get a primary that goes this far. What she has achieved is a great step, in fact we could say a small step for a lady, one giant step for humanity. Let her cool down after such a long fight, and do remember that while she has not achieved her goal, she does have many supporters. And in the long run I think these supporters will see that Sen. Obama will be able to give them what they seek more likely then McCain.
As far as McCain hoping to get her supporters he should look back at his own past. Many thought that McCain supporters in 2000 would vote for Gore and they sadly did not. If they would have then we would not be in the mess we are in now.
I think that Obama and Clinton could and should work together. After all her supporters deserve it. And like Theodore Roosevelt once noted, the vice presidency is not the second most powerful part in US Government and more likely used to keep someone quiet. If looked at it from this standpoint, Obama would be better of have her as VP and keeping her quiet. Although I think that she is genuinely interested in the good for the people and NOT the good for the Clinton. Call me naive if you like.
