Some Outcomes
ornovscot: I would not be surprised by her attempting to secure the vice presidential nomination, if she is not already doing so.
UsofA: Clinton has now begun using her powerfully placed friends, both in and out of the media, to float the idea of her deserving the offer of the Vice Presidency. She will repeatedly deny this, but I know it to be so. Additionally, and most incredibly, she has insinuated that if Obama doesn't offer the post to her, she will drag out appeals to the delegate rules committee on any and all issues she can concoct and thus, drag down the Democratic convention. Meanwhile, personal friends of Hillary Clinton, like Ms. Hilary Rosen (see her Huffington Post blog today), are being platooned to get out there and placate us all as to Clinton's true intentions. Apparently, a stake in the heart is the only thing that's going to rid us of Clinton's toxicity.
Houstonking: If the DNC seats the delegates in these states without any punishment, how is the DNC to control the sequence of primaries in the future? Besides the fact that Hillary knew that these delegates were not to be seated before Iowa, her approach feels much more about her than the party (again).
Tinsdale: The Detroit Free Press released news of a proposed resolution for the Democratic Primary which gives Hillary Clinton 69 delegates and Senator Obama 59. This compromise was soundly opposed by Hillary Clinton. The article states: “In a refusal that channels Zimbabwe politcs, Senator Clinton refused this agreement because it does not give her enough to win the nomination. She apparently wants ALL of the delegates in Michigan since she "won" that primary and Obama had no votes. Never mind that in violation of the rules, she was the only candidate on the ballot.”
The Ideology
StillIRise: This evening when I got into my car, I decided to listen to Sean to see how he is spinning Tuesday's election outcome, and guess who his guest was ... Lanny Davis! Not so surprising after seeing Clinton on O'Reilly and after a month of GOP's aiding and abetting Clinton's campaign with attacks on Obama. In the course of their conversation, as Lanny and Sean agreed with one another on every issue concerning Senator Obama and the prospect of Senator Clinton still pulling this off, they began a harmonious discussion about Reverend Wright; and Lanny made the comment, "Even though we were BOTH criticized for bringing this issue to the public ...," thereby acknowledging that he, whom we all know as the spokesperson for the Clinton campaign, was not only directly involved in putting Reverend Wright in the spotlight, but it can also be inferred that they (the Clinton campaign) were working in concert with Sean Hannity and Fox News to disparage Reverend Wright and Senator Obama. If anyone had tuned into Sean's program, and not known who Lanny is, they would have assumed that it was two Republicans discussing the Democratic election, both showing unabashed sympathy for Senator Clinton and her campaign, and unabashed disdain for Senator Obama. How can anyone still believe that Senator Clinton is working within Democratic values FOR the Democratic Party?
The Problem
k8k9: She may be saying to herself that if she doesn't win the nomination it won't be because she didn't try everything in the book. Only problem is that the book is missing a few chapters, including "How to Be Successful in Life Without Selling Out Your Own Party."
