Too bad she doesn't seem capable of the political will, courage and commitment to the party ideals to step down and help Obama and the party
do everything they can to take the White House...

That wouldn't be much fun and what a frightening proposition.

When Bill Clinton won back in 92, MTV threw him a party that's fondly remembered to this day for having a pretty impressive line up - including Automatic Baby (half U2/half REM!) - and one of the highlights was 10,000 Maniacs, performing, among other classics, "Candy Everybody Wants" (with Michael Stipe guest vocals!) - who knew that Hillary would be listening closely, taking notes, and basing her 2008 Campaign on the lyrics!!

(reprinted here for your reading pleasure!)

"If lust and hate is the candy,
If blood and love tastes so sweet,
Then we give 'em what they want.
Hey, hey, give 'em what they want.

So their eyes are growing hazy 'cos they wanna turn it off,
So their minds are soft and lazy.
Well, hey, give 'em what they want.

Hey, hey, give 'em what they want.

Well... who do you wanna blame?"

Not sure if this is photoshopped or not, but it's still damn funny:

Next time, she needs to be more aware of her surroundings, don't you think....?

Methinks what I find a frightening proposition and what Daniel Presedo finds
a frightening proposition are very different things...

Definitely. Obama and Hilary are reprehensible candidates.

And I am not affiliated with either party.

There is a way for Hillary to take the White House. Drag it out to August. Embitter her supporters against Obama, making it likely McCain would win in November. Blame the loss on Obama. Then run again in 2012. 

Ahh, those clever Clintons !

>>well-trained.<<

If you are insinuating that I use Aristotle principle's in the way I choose candidates... then yes.
