I am not a bargaining chip. I am a Democrat!

Sorry if this was posted previously.

I was stunned - and happy - to see this from a STAUNCH Hillary Clinton supporter.

Bravo Hilary Rosen. Bravo!

-snip-
Senator Clinton's speech last night was a justifiably proud recitation of her accomplishments over the course of this campaign, but it did not end right. She didn't do what she should have done. As hard and as painful as it might have been, she should have conceded, congratulated, endorsed and committed to Barack Obama. Therefore the next 48 hours are now as important to the future reputation of Hillary Clinton as the last year and a half have been.

...I wrote before how she had a chance for her "Al Gore moment." And if she had done so, the whole country ALL would be talking today about how great she is and give her her due.

Instead she left her supporters empty, Obama's angry, and party leaders trashing her. She said she was stepping back to think about her options. She is waiting to figure out how she would "use" her 18 million voters.

But not my vote. I will enthusiastically support Barack Obama's campaign. Because I am not a bargaining chip. I am a Democrat.

3. Hillary could have given us all a kumbaya moment today.. Oh well kumbaya anyway DU..

Is that spelled right? It didnt show up on spell check, so maybe I was way off??

4. That would take a better spell checker than mine...

Unfortunately - for me - last nights speech by Mrs. Clinton was par for the
course, and very predictable from what i've seen of her character.

still awful to watch - but not surprising.
