I think she is done. Mondale and other high ranking Democrats have begun announcing their support for Obama for the past day or so. Mondale had been a Clinton supporter until today.

I think Clinton saw no hope. If bad news comes about Obama anytime between now and the election and he drops out, the for the good of the party, Hillary Clinton will step in.

I think she's somehow socked away tens of millions in 'campaign contributions' that will somehow find its way into her wallet. I never believed she 'borrowed from herself' or was out of money at any time.

And she's not going away. H stands for Hillary and it also stands for herpes - you think it's gone and then the lesions pop up unexpectedly.

I think she is giving Obama 3 days to make her the VP choice or she fights on. She is giving him an ultimatum. IMHO

She's went beyond embarrassing herself. She's entered that stage where a child is put in their room all alone screaming and crying in a corner and no one is listening any longer. I want to say I feel somewhat bad for her because she really did get eaten by her own but I'm sorry I find it so dang funny it will long be one of the best running jokes in political history for me personally. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Now if the dang MSM would just be patient and back off she'd crawl away already. Every time they publicly announce.. she's gonna do it!! She's gonna concede.. Here it comes!! She yells.. SIKE!! and stays around for just one more day. What people aren't getting, well I think we do get it. She's giving everyone who promised her a victory lap early on and the MSM that jumped ship a HUGE middle finger. This was suppose to be her time and they took it all from her and in the process her beloved man became a babbling fool and she ended up looking.. well, looking like, well ya know. Hillary LOL.

I will be stunned if she ends up on Bam Bams ticket. After all the mudslinging and the fact that his only thing has been all about change I can't see where she offers that avenue. Not to mention she has repeatedly suggested he isn't ready for the job “on day one” I won't even point out how Mrs. Bam Bam will not want her man to share the spot light on the potential day of swearing in. Just can't see it happening.

What I find most insulting is this emotional hugging game they are doing with her at this point. Everyone calmly let the crazy lady walk out when she wants to ... OR ELSE. I say take your chances and tell her GET LOST!! It's OVER! Things happen. Give Rudy a call. He'll tell ya what it's like to go from front runner to has been and he's doing just fine. It's also an insult to those that voted for Bam. For some reason she wants to stick around for her supporters but truth be told some of that support was never really hers but rather this whole stupid chaos nonsense. Apparently her supporters deserve more respect than the winning guys supporters. Sheesh.

Just get this Aria over with Diva and get the hell out of the spotlight and let us at Bam Bam. This ones going to be very easy. All you gotta say is.. Wanna debate? And get him there and suddenly the playing field isn't a sure bet for the almighty media darling. Hell, I think we need to take bets when he will actually have a direct answer in regard to all this mythical change he keeps talking about. LOL.

Go home Hill. You've given us enough to nail this guy to the wall. We made sure you were dumped and used you in the process. Thanks!

Probably she would just run against him again in 2012.

She'll be almost 70 in 2012 - and while a man can be elected when he's 70 - I doubt a woman could pull that off. Walk into a nursing home and you'll find women in their 70's...

Y’all are actually buying this crap from Politico.com? How quickly we forget, eh?

I don’t believe any of the rumors going around about her completely dropping out, and endorsing Obama. IMHO, it’s all wishful thinking on the part of the DNC, the media, and Obama’s campaign. She’s actually got them right where she wants them - scared... Why in the world would she give up now?

I may of course be wrong, but let’s not buy any of the crap the MSM is selling right now about it. Politico SAYS it’s from her campaign, but I have yet to see any names associated with this news... They were all saying the same thing last night, too.

It’s not over till August unless Hillary herself says otherwise - no matter what the media and Obama’s campaign says (and no matter how much we wish the reports were true). The Superdelegates haven’t voted yet, and they could always change their minds between now and then.

If I were her, I would just sit back for a while and let everyone stew. Chances are they would go into “meltdown mode” and start saying some REALLY stupid things. That could be just the thing that she’s waiting for, IMHO.

Is waiting till Saturday enough time to shred the incriminating donor information?

Is it enough time to make personal file copies of the dirt gathered on others?

So much work, so little time

I don't buy it either. Thats why I say SHUT UP MSM. Let that Diva sing her final song her way with little fanfare and she'll back off. If you pay her no mind she finally go away. Just keep saying she has lost the nomination and then focus on BAM BAM. She'll look like the village idiot riding her bicycle around city hall covered in American flag decals chanting I am a pretty white American gal.

Right now they are daring her to stay just one more day. Just to tick her off more. It's almost as if they haven't paid attention to a Clinton. NO ONE TELLS A CLINTON what to do. She has to call the shots. She's even trying to hold the VP position hostage. They all just need to back off. They can throw their party the second she says she's done. If they really wanted to get under her skin just keep the headlines simply. Hillary has LOST. Then move on.

I could see a group of people dressed in white with a straight jacket and net waiting for her on the sidelines talking to her like she's a little child. It's ok sweetie. Come this way. Every things going to be just fine. There ya go. Say it's over. Thats right sweetie...closer... GRAB HER! LOL

Once she is out; she is out. There is only room for one liar and that will be Obama for the time being.

Well if you don’t like McCain there’s always Obama who says he would like to rid the world and America of its nuclear weapons and gut our military.

Which says nothing at all to the original point...

You are assuming Obama will be President for 8 years, but if he is, I am pretty sure he could pick another VP for his second term.
Heaven forbid any of this transpires
