Hillary Clinton is going to concede soon enough
She invested all her energy into her campaign because she believed that she will be best person to run this country. Now Obama crushed her dream of becoming the first woman president for good, she is going to take some time to face this reality. These campaigns are emotionally draining and it will take her time to grief. Give her a break

This idea that Hillary is going to take this to the convention are is setting up for 2012 is just absurd. Some of her tactics pissed me off, but she still wants the Democrats to win the election. Listen to her speeches today and yesterday, she just praised Obama and stressed the need for Democrats to unite and win the election.

Relax, She knows she lost and it is just a matter of time before she gets in line.

7. Not to appear sexist......
but this 59 year old white woman wonders why as losing candidate she is the only one who needs time to 'buck up' before conceding? Does anyone know of any other losing candidate in the primary had to take time out to do this figuring out of what needs to be done next?

15. I don't reacall
Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Richardson, or any of the others going about things like Hillary is doing. Edwards was ready to take it to the convention also, but he gave a great concession speech and bowed out with grace, as did all the others. I admit I was not happy when Edwards left the race, I really wanted to see him win the nomination, but I got over it, an now I support Obama 100%!

8. I thought she would concede yesterday...
Now she seems determined to do everything she can to make sure Obama loses in November.

10. She hasn't said one negative thing about Obama since then
or that she said that she will continue to fight this. Her tone has changed and she will be in line soon enough.

14. When she is still pretending she won the popular vote that bothers me...
Obama won legitimately, and this whole fake popular vote argument makes people believe he did not win legitimately. The fact is however that by any reasonable measure Obama did win the popular vote, and Clinton is just playing with numbers to make it appear as if he did not. This makes people think that he is not the clear choice of the people when in fact he is, until she admits that she lost by every measure including the popular vote she is undermining him as a candidate and she is damaging his chances to win in November.

13. Who cares. She's made a complete fool out of herself with this behavior,...and
this is what one of her top supports says:

"Unless she has some good reasons — which I can't think of — I really think we ought to get on with endorsements and dealing with what we have to deal with … so we can move forward," New York Congressman Charlie Rangel
