Life ain't always fair!
Watching recent clips of Hill and Bill is painful ~ it's obvious that they're reeling from the "unfairness" of it all, and I can't help feeling for them. Hillary has worked hard for many years; she's smart, talented and deserving ~ and yet here they are with an inexplicable Obamanon on their hands!

Reminds me of that old annoying saying, "Nobody ever said that life is fair."

2. I think the
democratic primary is still open. Right now, Barack Obama is on a roll. But I think that both Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have the ability to turn things around by February 5.

5. I'm not counting anyone in or out until Super Tuesday
By then, we'll know Gravel and Kucinich and possibly Dodd won't have a snowball's chance in hell. Biden and Richardson have chance of doing either better or worse than anticipated. The corrupt press might come up with the equivalent of the "Dean scream" by then from one or even all of the top 3.

It aint over til it's over.

They need to let the next generation of democratic leaders step up to the plate.

7. Watching Bill Clinton standing up there
whining yesterday was almost sad to see-it was very uncharacteristic of our once-great president and hero. This having Hillary run for president was a bad idea.

22. Is there any doubt...
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 05:57 PM by Steely_Dan
how much he loves his wife. This meant everything to them. They honestly felt that they could bring us back from the abyss.

Heartbreaking....heartbreaking for this whole country if you ask me.

13. That's right, it isn't...
I think the Clintons are making things worse by panicking.

18. I do think they should have carried on as business as usual
but their recent reaction to Obama's new lead was wrong. Look at me I'm so wonderful and nit-picking the other guy doesn't work. Bad timing.

Instead they should have been going for Bush and Cheney, the
GOP and hit the headlines with topics like the economy, health etc and completely ignored Obama. Their strategy was wrong.

14. I thought Hillary's crying was touching. Bill was just embarrassing.
It really looked like her candidacy was more about HIM than his wife.
