Clinton is staying in the race says a lot about Obama's electibility.
She is a smart woman -- scary smart -- and she knows full well that she lost the nomination. Barring a massive scandal or tragedy, there is NO CHANCE that the superdelegates are going to throw this her way. She also knows that Obama has enough SDs waiting in the wings and ready to end this.

If she truly believed that Obama was going to be a weak candidate in November, she would have dropped out, kept her dignity and her reputation intact, and waited for 2012 when she could run the ultimate "I told you so" campaign. There isn't a shred of doubt in my mind that McSame, if elected, would be an unmitigated disaster of George Bush proportions. He would either be a horribly unpopular incumbent, or magically decide that he's not running for re-election. Simply put, four years isn't that long as she would win in a walk. The problem, however, is that she knows it WON'T be four years when she gets another chance.

1. She's doing this to DIVIDE the party
She's doing this to disenfranchise conservative democrats.
Look up "Narcissistic Personality Disorder".
Hillary is one egomaniacal SICK 8*tch.
She SHOULD be McCain's running mate.
Afterall, she did vote FOR the war in Iraq.

3. No - she doesn't really know what she is doing --
just going on automatic adrenalin and denial.

She has not thought this through - the whole process need a change of Rules for her to succeed.

And the rules can only change AFTER the convention -- not now.

Play by the rules, or die by the rules.

If you don't like the rules - fight the point at the BEGINNING - not at the END.

12. Actually, it says more about McCain's. Hillary knows that the Dem winner is the likely President.

17. Okay
"The most telling thing that narcissists do is contradict themselves. They will do this virtually in the same sentence, without even stopping to take a breath. It can be trivial (e.g., about what they want for lunch) or it can be serious (e.g., about whether or not they love you). When you ask them which one they mean, they'll deny ever saying the first one, though it may literally have been only seconds since they said it -- really, how could you think they'd ever have said that? You need to have your head examined! They will contradict FACTS. They will lie to you about things that you did together. They will misquote you to yourself. If you disagree with them, they'll say you're lying, making stuff up, or are crazy. . "

http://www.halcyon.com/jmashmun/npd/index.html

Another quote: "So, yes, it's possible to get along with narcissists, but it's probably not worth bothering with. If family members are narcissists, you have my deep sympathy. If people you work with are narcissists, you will be wise to keep an eye on them, if just for your own protection, because they don't think very well, no matter what their IQs, they feel that the rules (of anything) don't apply to them, and they will always cut corners and cheat wherever they think they can get away with it, not to mention alienating co-workers, clients, and customers by their arrogance, lies, malice, and off-the-wall griping. Narcissists are threatened and enraged by trivial disagreements, mistakes, and misunderstandings, plus they have evil mouths and will say ANYTHING, so if you continue to live or work with narcissists, expect to have to clean up after them, expect to lose friends over them, expect big trouble sooner or later."



this is a great website written in layman's terms. It not only fits HRC to a T, but many of her shrillbots too. I learned alot reading up on this, came to realize that a couple people I know exhibit a lot of the traits, and this explains their sporratic irrational behavior.
