End Of the Road for Hillary
The Clinton Campaign simply does not want to accept the fact that the major problem they have in promoting Hillary is the candidate herself AND the message. Many people just do not like or trust Hillary or her continuous self-centeredness and self-aggrandizment of "experience".
She always nods her head when speaking as though everything she says is above question. It is like putting a new suit on a corpse. It will not make the dead man walking any more appealing as the faltering campaign's lead continues to slip in the polls.
Hillary's message is always "about her" whereas Obama's message is framed in "we" when addressing the future challenges this nation's next President will face. Also, I cringe at the thought of Bill Clinton being anywhere near the White House for another four years. It's all about him whenever he speaks, so you think he'd be a passive First Spouse? I doubt it.

Yes, she looks like a "bobblehead."
What is wonderful about Obama is that he applauds the audience!
But Hillary, as you correctly point out, agrees with herself!

Also well said. It's time to bring the primary to a close, as the general election has more or less begun. The Pentagon challenging the Army captain Obama referenced and new organizations backed up is a sign of this. McCain is already going after Obama. He is already the Democratic candidate, final delegate count be damned. It's time to unify the party. If Clinton continues on the course she's treading, it could cost the party the Presidency as well as coat-tail seats in Congress. It's time to put ego aside and work towards electing a Democratic president, Barack Obama.

Bill, setting up a cot in the Oval Office, wandering the halls of the White House...eesch. Enough said.

I know this will come as a shock to some, but I say, let the process play itself out. We need to feel that each candidate bows out when *they* are ready to, not when we are ready to see them go.
The more decisive the primaries, the less divisive the convention.

Cleveland Debate: Which Hillary Will Show Up?
After last week's "sweetness and Light" debate in Austin, Texas, we all saw the dark side of HRC in Ohio less than two days later.
And the Clinton Campaign Machine wonder why her "dry ice" lead is evaporating?
By next week (Super Tuesday II), Barack Obama could conceivably have a double-digit lead in both states plus Vermont and Road Island. Everything depends on how nasty HRC is in the future.
No Hillary Clinton portrait will ever appear on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, because there isn't enough room for carving two more faces.
