Bill Clinton signals this will not go to convention.
Rules Committee decision will be respected. Just heard on MSNBC.

For Hillar Haters .... I TOLD YOU SO. The Clintons are Democrats!

1. Yes they are
and thank you for mentioning that. Maybe we'll have some true unity now.

4. Of course it won't
A lot of people contrived a whole lot drama that just wasn't going to happen.

5. What they say and what they do are two different things

We wouldn't be where we are today if Hillary would have honored the same rules she supported and signed last year.

6. I'll believe it when I see it...
I do have respect for the Clintons, especially Bill (I don't really know Hillary, except that I know from her voting and her statements that she is a hawk. I don't like that).
However, I don't trust this process.
I think I have been traumatized by 2004, and too many elections stolen...

We'll see...

7. They apparently no longer have a sense of honor
I won't take their word for anything now.

8. You might want to save your "I told you so" until it actually happens.
Until then... we have no way of knowing. These *are* the Clintons we're talking about.

9. I will believe it when Hillary says it..
your post illustrates my problem with the Clinton "team".

Why do you presume that Bill Clinton speaks for his wife? They are individuals, despite their marriage.

It is over when the candidate herself uses those words. And not one moment before.

I was uncomfortable with the 2 for 1 talk in 1992, and even more so today.

10. I'll believe it when she says it and after a bit of time to gauge that it's operative
i've heard lots of statements from Hillary only to have her actions and subsequent statements contradict the previous stand.

so, i'm hopeful, but still not 100% convinced.
