Who said they didn't?
This is pure conjecture on my part, but IMHO-
Hillary knew the old-guard Democrats like herself couldn't beat McLame, so she ran a losing campaign on purpose in order to step aside and give Hopey-Changy the win.
Think about it - after this administration, Hillary's policies would look downright......Republican.
I don’t believe for a second that Hitlery wanted to lose for any reason, I think she was blindsided and I think she overlooked what most people overlook. The women of America DON’T WANT a woman in the white house. They may toy with the idea but when it comes down to voting for a woman they don’t do it. Over the years I have asked a lot of women and I asked in a very respectful way to seriously consider whether they really want to see a woman president. I don’t remember one ever saying yes. I think if Sarah Palin runs she will get more votes from men than from women and she will NOT be nominated.
As to my own vote, if Palin runs my primary vote will depend on who opposes her. If she is somehow nominated I will vote for her in the general election against any democrat on the Earth.
