Clinton says don't vote for McCain
Per CNN:
Clinton was asked by a questioner in the audience here what she
would tell frustrated Democrats who might consider voting for McCain in
the general election out of spite.“Please think through this decision,” Clinton said, laughing and emphasizing the word “please.”
“It is not a wise decision for yourself or your country.”
So, Senator Clinton, if you believe that Democrats should not vote for McCain in November, then PLEASE,
1. Stop claiming only you and McCain have passed some imaginary CiC threshold.
2. Denounce and reject Bill's assertion that only you and McCain are patriotic Americans
3. Realize that you cannot win the pledged delegate count, and blackmailing the Speaker of the House isn't going to work or win over positive public opinion.
Senator Clinton, if you want to "make a wise decision for yourself and your country" and to see a Democrat win the election in November, then PLEASE,
Step aside and concede the election, endorse Senator Obama, and then work to encourage your "intense" supporters to also endorse and support Senator Obama.
This is how you can accomplish your stated goal.

It's a very weak plea.
Just as I suspected. She's shooting for 2012.
The New Nader = HRC

I disagree.
She said the right thing here. She can't come out and tacitly ask her supporters to support Obama in November if she still (mistakenly) thinks that she has a chance at the nomination.
Kudos for Hillary for thinking of the party in this instance.
I would suggest the same to Obama supporters.
Now lets talk about her wanting to take this fight all the way to the Credentials committee. Hill, watcha thinkin'????
