Hillary's future

Interesting article that explains the mystery (to me) of why Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama & discusses who & what might influence HRC's decision whether to drop out of the race or fight to the death...

    Thanks for the share; also good expose' of how anemic the Demo Party seems to appear. Edwards was, at his best, Labor Lite. Another "great communicator" is their only alternative to Hillary Corporalinton.....

      hmm.... that's an interesting way of putting it. i still don't get why people loved ronald reagan so much (maybe it's cuz i got bit in the ass by reaganomics and "they" didn't) but i think the "image" is once again very important for president and we DESPERATELY need a different one than we have now. better policies, same great oratory...

        Here's a very eloquent essay by Alice Walker talking about the Democratic presidential race with her personal historic perspective...

        Lest We Forget: An open letter to my sisters who are brave.

        The author argues that we must build alliances not on ethnicity or gender, but on truth.

    funny, i was thinking kinda the same thing as the "conclusion" earlier in the other thread. "take one for the team" is usually in tandem with "shine another day."

    maybe i'm thick, but i'm not seeing why mccain is so "winnable." i can see how the bickering is weakening the democrats, but other than that... mccain is "more of the same with a bit more war-mongering." "not as thick, but just as wrong."

      All this talk about McCain beating both Obama and Clinton in polls and how a tight race is ruing the party is a crock of shit. Same with the Clinton supporters who threaten to go to McCain if Obama wins.

      it's simply a short attention span..the quiet period between primaries that lasts a month and people are hot right now...trust me, they will have different attitudes in 8 months, let alone 1 week. The press likes the tight race..it likes the bickering and politicking because it gets them viewers..they really are putting out some absurd crap to fuel the fire.

      The dem nomination will be decided when it's decided...fear of Republicans pulling ahead is premature at this stage..christ, it's only April.
