21. Neither Edwards nor Clinton "lost"....
They won delegates.....and they will win more as the primaries go on.

The one winning the most delegates by the convention in Colorado will win the nomination. Get it?

2. What else is she going to do?
It's not like she considered preparing a concession speech.

18. Bill Clinton was not the National Front runner
and he didn't even campaign in Iowa. Give it a rest.

23. Media has changed over the last 15 years.
I loved "Uncommitted" as President, didn't you?

5. So did Dean, when he made his infamous "scream".
I can't stand Hillary, but this is rather trivial, don't you think?

12. No. He said that they were going to go to to "New Hampshire....(name all states here)" and and win.

7. Lost what?
A caucus? Sheesh, the entitlement of instant gratification of this country is simply amazing.

26. Because, she, and others....
...understand demographics (Obama and Edwards understand this too). There's a reason why New Hampshire balances out Iowa and I'm waiting before I declare my allegiance. Finally, hope is not a method.

9. It's an excellent speech...
and I'm not that big a fan of Hillary. Keep the focus, press on, thank you for your hard work, how will we win, acknowledging all of the Dems who ran, nice swipe at Rs who have "seen the light".

What is she supposed to say? "I only came in third so I'm pulling the plug after one lousy state?"

15. Heartily seconded.
Great, classy speech. Fired up, and ecstatic about the turnout.

20. The bit about not recognizing this country...
under continued Republican rule was exceptional. And again, she's not anywhere near one of my top candidates.

13. Tweety and Mrs. Greenspan both seem to think that Hillary
and Edwards should just bow out gracefully and go home.

22. I thought she was much more humble
and her speech was more respectful than Edwards.

She congratulated Obama and said it was a great night for DEMS. Edwards focused on Edwards.

As for the rest of it she is in it to win, good luck to her, and for tonight I will say she showed much greater class than John.

It was exactly the right speech to make. :shrug:
