"There's a great saying in Texas," she said, "all hat and no cattle. Well after seven years of George Bush, we need a lot less hat and lot more cattle."

what washington needs is more cattle?
what's that, a code for lobbiests? ha!
or is she just trying to be the candidate you'd want to go out for a beer with?

what a bitchy thing to say.
she's been fighting neocons too long.

how do you tell someone to get out of that mindset?
i don't know if you can!

blackmail more super delegates.
i guess that would be my advice to her.

Don't pander, but that would be like trying to teach a pig to fly... you annoy the pig and frustrate yourself. She just can't stop.

Is there really any way for her to win 57% of the remaining delegates? If not then she should drop out.

Barack is the clear favorite in the Democratic voting public.

When did mcbush say he will not have huckabee as a running mate???

That would seem to cover the bases for him................

All Hillary can do now is stress her policies and hope for the best.

The public, most of them, have caught on to the race baiting and playing the damsel in distress. Those aren't working for her at all. And every time she goes negative, Obama's campaign responds with a 'Tsk Tsk shame on you' reply that makes her look even worse.

Her biggest mistake was long before the campaign ever started, allowing the 'inevitability' meme to become common wisdom. When you're on the top of the hill, there's only one direction you can go.

Don't expect to see her as a VP for Obama. Just a guess but I don't think he wants her.

Well the possibility of my opinion of her changing will in part depend upon how she handles that.

If she scorns or disdains the vp spot (especially knowing that/assuming it would help the ticket) as being beneath or unworthy of her my opinion would remain the same.......

not to mention she absolutely must stop using his catchphrases and trying to incorporate his speeches into hers...granted they are not copywrited nor trademarked but it makes her look more desperate, weak and incapable of reaching people on her own...she has no message and when trying to use his, it just makes people think she wants to be him...that effectively makes him look even better

I wonder why this same notion wasn't applied to both Clinton and Obama when they were stealing his ideas wholesale?

If he'd accepted Huckabee as a running mate he'd have done it now. Plus, when you read through Huckabee's public statements about what McCain should include in his platform it's clear Huckabee made other demands not being spoken of in front of the cameras.
