If Hillary loses, she could become the Lieberman Party Candidate
You know, up until yesterday and her McCain endorsement, (which will definitely become a McCain ad if Obama is the candidate) I was comfortable with Hillary as the nominee. No more. I am on sensory overload with the innuendos, belittlement and bashing of both Obama AND his supporters. (I was always Edwards and very late to Obama)

I saw one DUer describe it accurately as a "scorched earth" campaign. True description. For Hillary, it's her or no one.

I now include her in the ranks of Lieberman and Zell Miller. I hope her negativity backfires on her BIGTIME and culminates in an Obama landslide today. I truly do.

If Hillary is the candidate, I would not sit out the election, but I would write in Obama.

1. Only idiots believe that was a McCain endorsement
she was pointing out that McCain will run on his experience, and that she's the better candidate to challenge him.

2. Unfortunately, that's not how it came across.
I'm sure the commercial is already in production.

5. That's because
sen obama's supporters want to believe every nasty, scummy thing they can about sen. clinton. It's like listening to rush and his minions. Pretty disgusting.

8. Actually, if we were listening to Rush, we'd be urging people to
vote for Hillary.

17. I wouldn't know
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 09:28 AM by leftynyc
I don't listen to any windbags - including the ones on this board. All I know is I'm voting Dem in November but am hearing of lifelong dems (including my mother) who refuse to vote for Obama. It makes me nervous.

And that in no way was responsive to sen. obama supporters believing every stupid thing they hear. As long as Hillary looks bad, they'll believe Rush, Hannity, Rove and every other puke scumbag that comes along. Nice company you're keeping.

11. You've got to admit, it will make a good McCain campaign
commercial if Obama's the nominee. Seeing as how McCain and Clinton became good drinking buddies, I sometimes wonder if Clinton would rather see McCain than Obama in the White House.

13. She placed herself and McCain as equals
with a "lifetime of experience".

She said "Obama brings a speech . . ."

I don't consider myself an idiot for interpreting that as an elevation of the Republican nominee over her DEMOCRATIC opponent for the nomination.

While I wouldn't stoop to calling you an idiot as you did me, I will say that my interpretation of her comments is just as valid, if not more so, than yours.

14. But why would SHE run on experience then? If the
measure of experience is years dealing with shit, then McCain will use HER OWN campaign against her. Right?

7. So, if Hillary is the candidate, you will sit sulking in the corner?
...and just say, 'screw the country,' cuz your little ego would be bruised? So much bottled up anger....

So much for the 'hope' rant they repeat all the time.

20. I'll say to you the same thing I say to HRC supporters that say they won't vote for Obama
John McCain thanks you. George Bush thanks you. Dick Cheney thanks you.

THey don't care why you don't vote for the Democratic party. They just appreciate it whenever someone doesn't.
