Let me EXPLAIN something to those of you that are asking where Hillary is:
Now, this MAY shock you... but she DOES have a JOB!! And it seems likely that she can't
be at your beck and call 24/7 to try and counterbalance the Palin mania the M$M is promoting.

Obama chose Joe Biden as his running mate, and as such, Joe Biden is the one out there talking.
Yes, Senator Clinton HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO campaign. But frankly, this is Obama & Biden's campaign
and the decision of how and when to use her is theirs. Have some faith that they know what they are doing.
There are less than 60 days left now. Obama & CO. aren't dumb. They aren't going to show their entire hand
this early. They are running a tight campaign. Let them continue to do so.

Please stop posting threads that call her out because the M$M is telling you that Obama
is losing votes with women because he didn't choose Hillary & McCain chose Palin.

This is all part of the BULLSHIT that the M$M throws at us as the election comes to a close.

Instead of putting your angry hat on and working yourself in to a lather... get out an register some people to vote.
Phone bank. Help make signs. Canvass.


We only lose when the M$M sells us on everything we aren't doing.

1. They better be careful
Back the fukk off Hill...you think this is her fault? Palin comes out of nowhere, now Obama's army is asking us for help? Fine, we'll help but watch your attitude. Seriously, don't open old wounds or you'll be sorry.:mad:

2. Actually both Obama and Hillary seem to be saying, "Ignore her."
Thus they do not need anyone's help. Palin is going to hang herself.

4. "now Obama's army is asking us for help?"
Whose side are you on anyway? Hillary's, the Party's, or the Country's?

6. Some people think this is a game.
If they care about the country and it's people they wouldn't be starting shit like this.

And, if Hillary cares about being able to do her job to it's fullest she would be doing everything she can to help get Obama elected.

11. Agreed. It's not like she can't find cameras and mics in the halls of the Senate.
She can be on TV or in the papers or on the radio ANY TIME SHE CHOOSES.

The post I replied to said "back the fukk off hill" and "we'll help BUT" (caps mine) like they were threats.

5. yeah, she's gotta earn some $$$ to pay off that debt

10. Nothing is wrong with expecting the PARTY LEADER BEST POSITIONED TO ACT, to do so.
Speaking against a disgusting RW effort to draw some of her voters with an unqualied female V.P. pick is EXACTLY the kind of thing one would expect Hillary to do.

12. whatever. all she needed to do the last week was
release a few statements bashing Palin. That isn't too hard to do.

She obviously doesn't need to be campaigning every day, just releasing proper statements when necessary.

18. The campaign is being coordinated by Obama, not Hillary. She will make
statements and make appearances when Obama's campaign thinks it will do the most good. She is working with his campaign to make the greatest impact.

22. true, but it isn't like the Obama campaign
is going to make her an attack dog for Palin unless she asks to be. Hillary has a lot of power, the Obama campaign can't just tell her what to do (like the GOP is doing with Palin). If she wants to, I'm sure she could come out swinging at Palin.

I could be wrong, but I don't think they are telling Clinton what statements to put out.

23. I could be wrong too, but I think they are telling Clinton what statements to put out,
or at least they are setting the general tone for her to follow. One of the best examples of this that I've seen is the similarity of their statements concerning Palin's nomination for Vice President.

Obama/Biden statement:

“We send our congratulations to Governor Sarah Palin and her family on her designation as the republican nominee for Vice President. It is yet another encouraging sign that old barriers are falling in our politics. While we obviously have differences over how best to lead this country forward Governor Palin is an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign.”

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/08/29/obama-biden-statement-on-gov-palin/

Hillary Clinton statement:

"We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin's historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain. While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate."

25. interesting, I would really like to find out who is correct.
I was thinking about this last week after she made her statement, whether or not she had full control over what she said.

13. She had the same job when she was running for the nomination, and she wasn't
scarce then.

21. I don't know a single woman anywhere
of any party affiliation who isn't totally insulted by McCain picking Palin.

But that's just anecdotal.
