This speaks to a deep bitterness in some of Hillary's former supporters that really need to be addressed by them before they cast their vote.

She wants to be the president and in order to do that she need to either wait until McCain screws up the US even more and she will run again in 4 years, or if Obama wins she can try again in 8 years. Why is it so hard for everyone to see. The VP spot is not the way for her to become President. Shame on those of you who would compromise McCain getting elected so Hilary can try 4 years sooner.

Know who championed that - Phil Gramm, economics advisor to McCain, when he was in the Senate back in the 90's. McCain himself has said he's &amp;quot;a dergulator.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;Until this week when it was not a good idea.&lt;br&gt;Economy - &amp;quot;fundamentals of our economy are strong.&amp;quot; McCain has said this numerous times and interestingly enough, not long after, the financial markets seem to falter. &amp;nbsp;He's told us he's not strong there, and his actions have proven that.&lt;br&gt;War - He's even putting Spain on notice this week that they may not be our friends. &amp;nbsp;Huh? &lt;br&gt;Taxes - Trickle down didn't work under Reagan, who left office with a $175 million deficit. &amp;nbsp;It was larger than that but he at least raised taxes to abate the situation. &amp;nbsp;My tax bracket will be hurt a little, but I know I'll make it up when those in the lowest tax brackets actually get those tax cuts and spend them. &amp;nbsp;Trust me, they're not going to go sock those cuts away in a savings bond or the stock market.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, I'm open. &amp;nbsp;Please show me what experience he brings that is so overwhelming reltaive to Obama. &amp;nbsp;Because the way I see it&lt;br&gt;One team has two post graduate degrees while the other team has only bacehlor degrees. One on the team was 5 from being dead last in the class, while the other wne to 5 schools over 6 years to get a journalism degree. &amp;nbsp;And that's going to help how when dealing with Putin or Constitutional issues?&lt;br&gt;One is not under investigation and hasn't been caught up in a federal investigation while the other team has one member currently under investigation and the other infamously tied to a horrible Savings and Loan bailout that costs taxpayers millions.&lt;br&gt;So, without giving the names, which one do you want running the country?&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430577</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:22:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430577</guid><dc:creator>Besharpone Des Moines, IA</dc:creator><description>&amp;quot;Of course, political observers will likely see the former Clintons staffers objections as sour grapes -- they're upset because Clinton lost, and they're out of jobs though they're candidate was that close.&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sour grapes is exactly what it is! Why else would they be comparing Obama to Hillary with stupid commments such as Hillary is the sky and Obama is the sea and how much better she would than he and how disappointed they are that Hillary was not even comtemplated as a running mate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They also want to accuse him of negative ads, never mind that most of the time, he is only responding to McCain and that her former boss did a pretty good job with the negative ads herself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is not totally unexpected, I would think, especially considering that it is former staffers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They have the nerve to sing McCain's praises when wel all know exactly what he is about, but they want to be concerned about claiming not to know Obama?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;McCain has been flip flopping all campaing and especially in the last few weeks, so how does that make them feel comfortable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is pretty obvious to anyone who wants to see that this is nothing but political BS and resentment because their girl is sitting at home while the other woman is getting all the attention and with her step on anyone to get to where I want to go, she will likely try to run for the presidency in 2012, which will be in conflict with expecations for Hillary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I also wouldn't be surprised if Hillary didn't put them up to it because I recall how she condemned Bill Richardson when he decided to back Obama. Now, if she wanted those defectors of hers to stay with Obama, she would have resorted to the same feelings of outrage that she displayed with Richardson.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430578</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:22:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430578</guid><dc:creator>MtnV</dc:creator><description>Cut your nose to spite your face.&lt;br&gt;Try to get R v.

More importantly, who cares what they think, whoever they are.</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430603</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:28:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430603</guid><dc:creator>Hilary, NJ</dc:creator><description>Traitors to the issues Hillary stood for. &amp;nbsp;Palin | McCain do not represent what Hillary's campaign stood for and what the Democratic party stands for.</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430606</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:28:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430606</guid><dc:creator>Ann, CA</dc:creator><description>Why hasn't anyone even brought up the idea that someone who is as committed to her ideals and getting something done as Clinton may prefer a much more powerful position in the cabinet then the VP position, which let's face it, aside from the actual campaign doesn't get much press or action?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I wouldn't doubt that she would be on the cabinet and may have cited a preference of that over VP.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And by this stage in the game, why are we not discussing who the candidates would place in their cabinet positions?</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430610</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:29:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430610</guid><dc:creator>km, florissant, missouri</dc:creator><description>I cannot believe you wasted so much ink on this.</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430612</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:29:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430612</guid><dc:creator>Mike, McLean,VA</dc:creator><description>Wow. &amp;nbsp;This was clearly orchestrated with/by the Clintons. &amp;nbsp;They really DON'T care about the future of this country - only about themselves. &amp;nbsp;Scary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430613</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:29:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430613</guid><dc:creator>Jaharto, Brookings, SD</dc:creator><description>Millions of former Clinton supporters DO support Barack Obama. Why should I care if literally a handful don't? Is this really news at this point? The economy is melting down. We're involved in two wars. John McCain can't seem to recall from moment to moment what he's for or against. And this is what we get from the mainstream media. You're hurting America. Get up off your rear ends and report some news. I suggest issues as a good starting point. Oh, wait. I forget. You're a huge corporation. I guess lipstick it is. Cripes.</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430614</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:30:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430614</guid><dc:creator>l. Pacheco Fort Collins, Colorado</dc:creator><description>It seems to me everything that they accused Obama of being McCain is. The reason Obama is hitting back hard is because McCain started with the negative ads. Funny, when he did not respond people asked &amp;quot;where is he, is he tough enough?&amp;quot; But now that he is hitting back, he is the negative one. McCain is hurting himself with the lying ads that he puts out, so I hope he keeps it up. Do not this man for my President. He needs to retire and go home...if he can remember where all his houses are.......</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430615</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:30:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430615</guid><dc:creator>Ashamed Democrat</dc:creator><description>It's about time that people start growing a backbone and stand up for what's right. &amp;nbsp;Obama is a used car salesman at best. &amp;nbsp;He has NO integrity and time after time the media forgives him. &amp;nbsp;It's Amaricas future on the line. &amp;nbsp;Wake up America and just say NO to Obama!&lt;br&gt;God Bless the USA!</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430617</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:31:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430617</guid><dc:creator>steve, oregon</dc:creator><description>yawn...hard to get over the bitterness, I guess.</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430620</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:33:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430620</guid><dc:creator>Peter Principle</dc:creator><description>So two obscure Clinton staffers -- who nobody has ever heard of before -- suddenly pop on a conference call organized by the McCain campaign, and that suddenly big news for First Read?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Every party has its Quislings, but it seems the corporate media whores at GE-NBC only take Democratic ones seriously.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gee, I wonder why that is.</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430621</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:33:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430621</guid><dc:creator>frank, nc</dc:creator><description>told you Hillary wants him to lose. &amp;nbsp;She is sending her team to help Mccain</description></item><item><title>Former Clinton staffers jump to McCain</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/09/21/1430406.aspx#1430622</link><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:33:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1430622</guid><dc:creator>Erik, Bowie MD</dc:creator><description>This is ridiculous. There are two political philosophies in this country. One comes from the Democratic Party and the other from the Republican Party. We've seen the fruit of the Republican ideology over the last 8 years. It's rotten. &amp;quot;Maverick&amp;quot; is just a re-branded version of 2000's &amp;quot;compassionate conservative.&amp;quot; McCain is a Republican. He believes in Republican political theory. He would govern as a Republican and if given that opportunity, the woes of the last 8 years will continue. These former Clinton staffers are pathetic.</description></item></channel></rss>
