Yeah, keep 'em riled up Hillary. Keep your supporters thinking
there's actually a chance that some kind of major string of miracles can happen that'll cause you to take the nomination from Senator Obama.

Keep your supporters riled up thinking that you're OWED the VP slot if you can't take the nomination from Senator Obama.

Keep on just STRINGING them along and hanging on to anything you say so that it will keep the party divided just that much longer. At this point, are you happy for every 24 hours that you can keep the party division going? Are you trying to figure out just how many more days or weeks you can keep the party divided? Are you going to announce that people overwhelmingly went to your website and BEGGED you to stay in, whether that's actually true or not?

Are you going to hold the VP idea hostage and threaten to blow up the convention if you aren't offered the slot on the ticket?

And how insulting is it that you and yours assume Obama, the man who won against you, is so hapless that he just can't make it without you and Bill somewhere around? Why does that raise my hackles, you think? Hmmm?

He's fine, Hillary. He's proven himself time and time again. And you? Are just keeping the waters stirred up as long as you possibly can.

Your speech tonight was one of the most pathetic things I have ever seen in my life. You could have taken several moments to enjoy the South Dakota victory then gone on to be classy and start to repair the party. But no. Your speech was NOTHING like that. How out of touch are you, anyway? Every day of this that goes by, and the worse it gets, the more I get worried about your mental and emotional health.

2. I just turned off Abrams when they started dissecting primary fights again. Unbelievable.

3. I think that after tonight
Her chances of being on the ticket are close to nil. If I were Obama, I'd stay as far away from her as possible, and Obama is a hell of a lot smarter than I am (I never wrote a paper on quantum mechanics and case law!).

She's really looking rather pathetic at this point. I just hope she gets past this denial phase before anyone else gets hurt.

5. Yeah, listening to her references to Obama at the beginning of her speech ...
... it sounded like SHE had won the nomination, and was congratulating Obama and his supporters on their valiant, but unsuccessful, effort.

6. THIS is the Clinton legacy
Narcissistic, snake-oil salesmen.
