Reality Check — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:28:23 GMT

This is about power. Plain and simple. The Clintons, and as importantly, all their minions and hanger-on-ers, expected they'd be back in power. They're pissed that they're not and while HIllary is acting admirably, many of her hard-core supporters, particularly those in the "Amtrak corridor" (who feed the news media all these stories) are still acting like kindergartners, having temper-tantrums since they know they're not going to be getting the ambassadorships that they had been counting on. Let's call this what it is: a handful of adults throwing temper-tantrums because they're not going to get the plum assignments they think they're entitled to.

It has taken me a long 10 weeks to get here; but I am proud of Hillary. I would not have used her tactics; but she indeed has paved the way and made it easier and more acceptable for women to be considered for the highest office in the land. Someone said yesterday there isn't a glass ceiling - it's more like concrete. I carried a Gary Larson cartoon around for years because of the 'joke' that "...we prefer to use steel bars set in reinforced concrete..."

I think Ted Strickland said it best, she absolutely has testicular fortitude. If she would have won, I would have voted for her.

Bottom line, the MSM has decided to make this convention about the perceived drama. They will prevent unity - or the appearance of unity - at all costs.

So for all of you who are fatigued from the Clinton Drama (I speak for myself here), let's ALL let it go. She will do exactly what she needs to do. She is a true Democrat. We don't have to agree with the method; but we have got to get on board with the message.

We MUST win in November, our children's futures are depending on it!

Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:31:26 GMT

I listened to Paul Begala on Imus this morning while driving in. He made a great point.

Imus flatly accused Hillary Clinton of not wanting Obama to win. Begala came right and pointed out she'll do whatever she can to get him elected because she recognizes her future in the party is tied to an Obama win.

The simple reason is Clinton understands she'll be blamed by half the party if Obama doesn't win.

Imus didn't buy the argument, but I did. I like when we hear rationales for political motivations that dovetail with analysis of self-interest, because those are the arguments we can believe, whether coming from a cynical perspective or not.

Begala basically said that Clinton cares more about the issues than having an opportunity to run in four years, and for those reasons wanted Obama to win. But, he argued, regardless of whether you believe that about Clinton, even if she didn't want Obama to win, she needs Obama to win for her own self-interest.

I also enjoyed the fact that Imus and Begala couldn't agree on anything this morning, but retained a civility that stems from their friendship and respect for one another. But that's another story.

The Clintons will do fine at the convention. It's just her supporters acting like children. "I won't vote for Obama because I am bitter that the media treated her bad and they were sexist". What the hell does the media treating Clinton wrong have to do with Obama? If he doesn't win, I hope her supporters know what they are doing and have a back up plan for her in 2012.

Chuck, the Clintons deserve two nights......18 million people voted for Hillary and Bill is the most senior living Democrat and should be heard. Just because you and Chris Matthews would like to see them go away doesn't mean the nation does. Especially the 18 million voters who tried to get her in office. I think it is disrespectful to sweep them under the rug and at least Obama recognizes that despite the endless efforts of MSNBC to make the Clintons go away.

I will be so glad when this "Clinton Pity Party" ends. Again, the Clinton's are acting like they are entitled. Entitled to what? An image? A sound byte? A politcal Party? A country? Pleeze. They need to get over themselves. Apparently they've forgotten that Bill was impeached as president. He's not the godsend they want you to believe. They have made a mockery out of the process and need to quietly step away, but we all know THAT will never happen. I am very disappointed in both of them. The Clinton era is over (and not soon enough). Obama/Biden '08

Droppin' Science Miami Fl — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:43:36 GMT

The beauty of this Country is the collective minds of its people. Over the past 8 years we've gone absolutely nowhere. And it's easy to throw blame around, but when you strip in down to what's really been going on in our great nation, you quickly realize that "We The People" are the cause of this. We are stagnant because of us. WE DID THIS!!! We are a democracy... We vote people in... We're responsible for the predicament of this country because we choose to pick out of fear rather than for the best interest of our Country. We are slowly becoming a nation of nothing. Where we were once strong, we are now laughed at and frowned upon... And we take it lying down, accepting things at face value simply because someone says so... All that was sacrificed for the greater good of our futures are proving to have been in vain...

I looked at how some folks said that Obama lost Rick Warren's forum conversation because he was too thorough, expressive, detailed, and intelligent... WOW!!! What have we come to where we expect anything less??? The integrity and intelligence of this Country has been seriously insulted... We choose to become a failing and falling nation all for the sake of stubbornness and ignorance... It's like there's a dying breed of courage in America.

"We The People" choose our paths... We decide the direction of our Country, and we now stand at a folk in the road... We decide what our tomorrows hold.

The bottom line is, we're either going to wake up November 5th with Barack Obama as our President, willing, and able to lead us back down the path of greatness, or We're going to wake up with John McCain as our President, bringing the same failed policies of the past 8 years... Do realize though, that we are the ones who decide this... If y'all can live with that, then we'll all have no choice but to...

It's rather interesting actually to see how on the surface so much has changed over the last 200+ years, yet deeply rooted remains the same ignorant, prejudiced, tainted mindset of so many in this Country... {Just calling a spade a spade}

WOULD WE REALLY RATHER HAVE ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF GOING BACKWARDS, AS OPPOSE TO BEGINNING TO REALIZE THE TRUE GREATNESS OF OUR COUNTRY???

Obama/ Biden 2012...
WITHOUT A DOUBT, BABY!!!

The drama between Clinton and Obama is overblown.

Clinton herself came out saying that she does not support McCain, and doesn't approve him using her comments on his ads.

Clinton would make a better supreme court justice than president in my opinion, and i can see her nominated to the bench by an Obama presidency. That is where she can best help to shape america, and i think she realizes it.

I am more interested to see the non-Clinton speakers at this convention. As far as Hillary and Bill go, they seem unable to contribute positively to the cause of the Democratic party because they are so self-obsessed. I know that as president Bill Clinton was able to carry the party for a while, but his personal foibles got in the way of his policy agenda. I am a pragmatist -- I want to know what people think and will work for. As far as Hillary Clinton is concerned, I am more interested in what she will to to advance the Democratic platform in her role as a Senator than in hearing her wax poetic about not being the nominee. If her speech turns out to be another "Clinton's greatest hits", I will stop watching.

NOT VERY BRIGHT CHUCK and if Obama loses in November it will because you and the MSNBC team would not let up on Hillary . Even though Obama won, you still continue to harass and slander Hillary. Do you really think that this will help UNITY in the Democratic party?????????? Obama's loss will be your fault.

So Obama had told Hillary she would not be his VP running mate early. Good to know. And here all her wacko supporters (what Chris Matthwews calls them) thought she was shown no respect because Obama didn't vet her or even talk to her about the job. Well, it seems he did talk to her and that she knew early on she would not be his pick. There goes their arguement he didn't say a word to her and therefore showed her no respect.

Obama gave respect to an older pol who actualy DESERVED respect---Ted Kennedy. Why should he respect Hillary, a one-term senator like himself, or Bill, as brilliant as his presidency was, who seems to have lost his mind since then? They both tore Obama down, unlike Kennedy, who saw in Barack a truly new kind of politician and honored that newness. I hope to God Hil and Bill behave themselves and at least ACT convincingly when (if) they boost Obama. If they don't, Hillary can expect the kind of shunning in Congress some religious groups used to do to misbehaving members, and her career will end right there. She'd better remember that.

Wilder is way off base:
How does.... "the Clintons do not seem willing to let go of their 16-year dominance of the Democratic Party, while Clinton aides complained privately that the young presumed nominee is not paying them proper respect -- a tension heightened by the revelation that Obama never seriously considered his rival as a running mate."..translate into the Clinton's not being ready for our first African American President? One could argue that they haven't accepted that she lost or blew it, but not sure what race has to do with it. Seems like more race baiting - not by the Clintons, but trying to pin it on them.

In order to be shown respect one must show respect. The Clintons need to suck it up and show Barack Obama the respect he deserves, especially after throwing the kitchen sink at him during the primaries. Respect is earned, not demanded. I think Michelle did a nice job of paying respect to Hillary last night and now Hillary needs to show she has similar class.

Why is Moronic Joe on after 9AM Eastern/6AM Pacific? I can't stand listening to his clueless vile lies of fear and smear. Instead of listening to his clueless babble I switched to the NASA channel because listening to the sounds of humming machines is far more intelligent sounding than Moronic Joe.

we have with the Clintons and the Obamas will be long past by the time the election rolls around. You guys are a joke, Corporate talking points the same as the
republican talking points. Your network corporate CEO and your big excutives will all be voteing republican.
We know we cant believe a thing you guys make up.

You know what, here's a bit of an interesting idea. With McCain and the RNC purposely trying to use her as a wedge within the Democrats...she needs to get mad.

I'm serious. I'm not exactly a bit supporter of Mrs. Clinton, but I think if she really wants to unify this party she has to do it with more than sweet words. She needs to come out hard, outraged, at McCain for even daring to use her name as a political weapon. She needs to completely call him out for what a deplorable tactic he's been using and SHOW her supporters that McCain is trying to USE her. That they're all in this together.

If she can do this, you'll see a large move for party unity immediately and likely a large jump in the polls for Sen Obama.

The media and the pubs just keep everything stirred
up. To think the Democratic party is going to get
a break from the media, is living with blinders.
They have ignored Mccains lies, blunders and the
outrageous swiftboating. They have not exposed
Mccain for the fraud he is, ie, the so called
religious debate where it was obvious Mccain knew
the questions ahead of time, the cross in the sand
story which he stole, and his obvious inadaquacies.
As a 72 year old, I know the signs of aging and

Maybe when Hillary Clinton gives her speech - you Media folks can finally keep her name out of this election.

My question to you guys - has there ever been this much media attention for a losing potential nominee before? or are you guys using her lost as a tool to sway voters - not to vote for Barack Obama.

I can not believe the attention Hillary's getting from the Media ...and John McCain is using this to his advantage and you media folks are feeding right into his plan as if you both are in collusion.

IF John McCain is elected we will blame the Media for it unbiased coverage and blatant plan of attack on Barack Obama.

SO - when John McCain takes us to war with North Korea, Iran and possibly Russia and we get blown off the Map...I hope you guys feel good about your contribution to our destruction and you burn slowly as you descend towards HELL.

Hillary will play her role as expected but won't change any of her supporter's mind. At this point, it isn't about her, it's about her gender and how much she was disrespected. Nothing will change the fact the Obama camp played the race card on the Clinton and did not even bother considering her for VP.
Just as blacks will vote for Obama no matter what (skin color talks), many older women will make a PROTEST vote against Obama in November. Women want to show their displeasure to the Democratic Party and there is nothing Hillary can do to change that.
Thank you
