Hillary Clinton, projected to win South Dakota's primary but unable to keep Barack Obama from clinching the Democratic nomination, congratulated Obama tonight for the inspiring race he has run and said she was "committed to uniting our party,"
"This has been a long campaign and I will be making no decisions tonight," she said, provoking wild cheers from supporters.

Run Hillary. Third Party is the way for you to go. Hell it can’t be worse than Obama, the Marxist, chauvinist.
Having spent this many years waiting for the final demise of the Clintons I find it difficult to admit, but admit I must:
If a democrat had to be elected this time, the country would be better off with Hillary than Obama. There. I said it.
Hillary’s damage can be fixed. Obama may do damage that cannot be fixed.
and candy from babies...lol
LOL. I hope they don’t track ISPs because a number of people from various zip codes are supporting her, but strangely they share the same ISP address.
“Ooh. I know. Sizzler’s!”
Good one!
Yes we do! That Limbaugh is such a clown.
What is even worse are the folks who worship his every utterance.
The factors involved in this are absolutely fascinating to me!
First of all I love that the Clinton’s aren’t getting the almost automatic coronation they were clearly expecting!
Obama’s speech is designed to shame Hillary out of the race—I predict she will NEVER concede! He better watch his back—she will stop at NOTHING . . . and IMHO she would NEVER stoop to accepting a VP slot . . . they’ll twist and spin whatever they need to, to get her the nomination.
As for an Obama/Clinton ticket . . . I think people would see the WORST of each of them, not what they (theoretically) could do together. That ticket would go over like a lead balloon!
And then there’s Bill. Jumping up and down with glee that she’s “almost” out of the race . . . but to her face, turning on those fake tears. (tee hee!) I don’t think he could stand the thought of her being President, b/c that would take away something he had but she didn’t. If she gets far enough in this race (somehow) I think he’ll sabatoge her efforts, big time.
McCain isn’t my choice for the “R” nomination, but if he’s smart, he’ll hammer home what he’s going to do, and continue to let the “D”s sabatoge each other.
I don’t remember who said it on talk radio today, but it was interesting . . . “The change some people are hoping for might be worse than what we have now.” (or something like that!)
So that’s my 2 cents . . . I enjoy reading everyone else’s, too! The next 5 months will be very interesting indeed.
It over DFU, it is over :) Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton have been defeated for good :)
j....I respect you....but.....it will NOT be over with the Clinton’s until they are 6 feet under....IMHO....
Did we quit when the German’s bombed Pearl Harbor?
Pants suite ping!
I don’t believe there is a tape. In this campaign season, all you need is the rumor of a tape and suddenly, in people’s minds, the tape exists.
This is 2008. If the tape existed, it would have you-tubed itself by now.
There is no tape.
***(Sighs with relief)...ahhhhhh.... Go, Cruella, go.***
She’s not gone yet!!! Don’t count your witches . . . er, chickens . . . before they concede!
So, we work harder than ever to keep him out of the White House. They are equally liberal. They would appoint the same judges. I respectfully dispute the premise. She knows how to abuse power and would abuse power. We would have a better chance battling him. He would not dare try to pull the things the Clintons pulled.
I am, of course, worried about him defending the country. He is hopelessly naive. Kennedy was naive when he met with Khruschev. That is why Khruschev had the Berlin Wall built and put missiles in Cuba. He saw Kennedy as weak. That weakness was exploited. If Obama wins, he will be meeting with military advisors who will tell him we cannot set a timetable and let the enemy know when we will leave Iraq. He had better listen.
Not quite. Obama's pledged delegate total leaves him shy of the majority necessary for gaining the nomination. He will have to rely on Superdelegates to get him over the top in Denver, and Superdelegates, by definition, can cahnge their mind between now and August.
Obama is entirely capable of committing a gaffe or series of gaffes that would make his nomination a disaster in the eyes of many superdelegates. She still has a 5-10% chance of seeing such a reversal before Denver. Many others, with far less support, stayed in their races all the way to the convention, plus it will guarantee her a primetime speech in Denver.
