For once in his life, Bob Schrum made a pretty good analogy....

"Senator Clinton is a little like the Beach Boys and has the same kind of reaction as when The Beatles arrived in America. She can't believe that someone's taking her place."

- Bob Schrum... Today on Meet the Press.


Hillary is the Beach Boys

Obama is the Beatles

It's 1964.

1. He also talked about the "Soviet style primary in Michigan"
That was pretty good too.

MR. SHRUM: But she cannot in the end, "By the way, nominate me by giving me the delegates out of the Soviet-style primary in Michigan where we only had one person's name on the ballot."

6. If she doesn't believe it, it's because she's been out of touch
I khow she's a very driven person, and there's nothing wrong with that but it looks like to me (and I'm hardly an expert in this), that Obama took the country by storm.

7. I agree. They just didn't see this coming.
I still admire Hillary greatly, and I think she was the right candidate -- unfortunately running at the wrong time. Her campaign was extremely well-run at the beginning, and she dispatched her opponents handily.

However, her campaign did not figure someone like Obama into the equation, and therefore didn't prepare for what is now happenening ...

9. You said it. No one figured someone like Obama. Not even me.
I was a diehard Edwards supporter. When my candidate was killed off by the corporate media, I felt lost. Now I'm realizing that this whole country feels so demoralized after 8 years of being lied to, cheated and damaged that it really needs someone with an overwhelming amount of confidence and hope. And he's a brilliant man. I remember hearing the speech he gave at the Democratic Convention. I was jumping out of my seat! He has a way of motivating that hasn't been seen in a long time! We need someone smart who can help us see a light at the end of the tunnel.
