Senator Hillary Clinton ran a great campaign
Even if you all do not want to accept it, Senator Clinton ran a great Campaign and she toughen up Senator Obama. Not only that, for the first time in history, all the states got to vote. Am an Obama supporter but Senator Clinton really made a difference. At first, I did not want her on the ticket, but now I am thinking, she would be good for Senator Obama as the VP. Just my opinion. What do you think?

2. I understand your feelings but she did toughen up Senator Obama ..
plus she is a great woman, I really liked her. However, am backing Obama, saw his speech tonight and short of crying, I felt he is the person American needs. Too many heroes in America has been assassinated, am scared for him but I sure want to see him in the White House!

4. she ran the crappiest campaign in modern US history. She's tens of millions in debt
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 11:34 PM by cryingshame
she was unable to fight without playing the victim. She was unable to concede gracefully.

13. Atomic, I have lurked on here for years and I really respect you ..
Let us give Senator Clinton one day of glory. I had tingles seeing Senator Obama speak tonight. And most of America is behind him, awesome!

16. Obama deserves this night of glory. He worked long and hard for it.
If she had exhibited an iota of grace tonight, I would be more pliable on this matter. But she yet again acted so rude toward Barack. Both she and McCain stepped on HIS night tonight.

I'm sorry to disappoint you in this regard if that be the case, but tonight is Barack's night. He deserves a moment in the sun, by himself, to revel in his victory. It is historic.

But, take heart. In the words of Miss Scarlet, tomorrow is another day. :D

21. If Hillary would have run a decent campaign she would have won. Hands down.
It's not about disrespect or not uniting. I think it's just true. Hillary had so much on her side as the establishment candidate and her campaign frittered it away.

And thank you for your kindness. I believe in spreading good deeds to others just as I have been lucky to receive them.

8. She didn't!! She used the race and gender card to win the remaining contests!
She ran an abysmal campaign. She just had the aid of the media and using race and class to divide the Democratic party. She should have beat him flat out as the coronated nominee for almost 2 years. She couldn't seal the deal. She should have won this, hands down!!!

11. The second half of her campaign was good. The first half was awful.
After she lost the 11 straight races, she remade herself from the inevitable candidate of experience to the populist candidate of blue collar workers. That was a good campaign. Before that, her campaign was terrible.

14. No she didn't. It was an endlessly divisive and nasty campaign.
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 11:40 PM by ProSense
Without her personal millions ($11 million to be exact), she would have had to drop out.

She owes $19 million to vendors in addition to her personal loan.

19. You know, Senator Clinton was looking to sink Obama and he came
out as the winner and now she wants to be on the ticket, like frig no. I wish he would select Richardson as we already know Edwards has a place. Please, no clinton and her baggage re Bill!

25. He did ran a super duper campaign, Senator Clinton thought it was wrapped up on February 5

37. To that point, because the campaign was so long it focused more on the Democrats
than the republicans, and that is fine

but if this doesn't stop soon, where the focus should be on mccain

then we are in trouble

as a speech. The Clintons are only for the Clintons!

and should be ashamed of herself.

40. I totally agree with you. First time in history all states got to vote...
For that, all americans were involved in the process. Like I said earlier, kudos to Senator Clinton for ensuring all voters were franchised!
