the reason no one's mentioned it is because it's now a non-issue. both hillary and the republicans milked that for all it was worth... and yawn... it's run it's course. just like everyone has managed to get over hillary's [i]mis-recollections[/i] about snipers in bosnia.

ps, and if that's "Obama's biggest liability" then he's in real good shape.

uh, you're comparing the clinton campaign to obama supporters. the clinton campaign has be derisive as have some of both candidates' supporters, but you'd have a hard time making the argument that obama's campaign has been any where near as divisive as clinton's. the reason she'll never be the vp pick is all the times she's said that mccain would be a better president than obama... hardly the kind of person you'd want as your second in command.

as for the second half of your comment i can sum it up... changing the rules. the primary is all about delegates, it's not a perfect system but you don't change the rules half way through the game.

you play by the rules of the game. if you don't like the rules the time to change them is before you start playing, not halfway through the game. as i've said to you over and over once it became clear she wasn't going to win her entire argument has been about moving the goal posts and making the vote about anything but the delegates.

i defended her right to stay in the race until everyone had voted. now everyone has voted and obama has the delegates. the only thing she's doing staying in the race now is distracting from the battle agains mccain.

the difference is that obama's campaign has always been focused on the rules of the game. as soon as it became obvious that she wasn't going to win clinton and her campaign started trying to move the goal posts and change the rules. first saying that only big states mattered, then focusing on the "popular vote" though it's only popular after excluding four caucus states and including the flawed vote in michigan.

that's exactly why i'm focusing on what the campaigns are saying. anyone can claim to be a supporter and spout off nonsense.

Uh, it's because for the last year shes been talking about how bad the Bush administration is, and how she wants a Democrat elected in the fall. If she really wanted that to happen, now that everyone one has voted and it's clear who the winner is, she'd step aside and allow the campaign against John McSame to begin. It has nothing to do with being a woman, it's all about doing what's best for the party.

I'd love to see you provide some quotes from people in the Obama campaign. I doubt you'll be able to find one because they've always been about the delegates. Clinton on the other hand has been grasping at anything that can provide a rationale for continuing her campaign since February.

The fault is with Florida and Michigan. The state parties decided to flaunt the rules. You break the rules you suffer the consequences. Those states could have done a re-vote and chose not to. If Oregon had jumped the gun and moved our primary up I'd be saying exactly the same thing.

But this is really just crying about spilled milk now that Clinton has lost. Harold Ickes, Clinton's own strategist voted in August 2007 to strip Florida and Michigan of their delegates. The only person who voted against the rules was an Obama supporter.

First of all the popular vote isn't what this contest is about, it's about delegates. Second of all the only way she can claim the popular vote is by ignoring four cacucus states and counting Michigan's vote where Obama wasn't on the ballot. The super delegates were smart enough to see the holes in this argument.

If you believe the blogs she's put the word out that he better not ask another woman to be VP: http://www.americablog.com/2008/06/clinton-campaign-hillarys-not-gonna.html

This is just as silly as the Hillary supporters who say that they won't vote for Obama. You'd rather have another four years of the Bush administration?

That said, I don't think you have to worry, there's no way that Obama would put up with both the Clintons in his White House.

What she really wants is your money. My guess is she's saying in the race to start to pay down her campaign debt. She's loaned here campaign how many millions now?
