LaurieAnnM,
Please, stop the “HRC as victim” nonsense. It’s getting tiresome. Hillary ran a bad campaign. She thought she had it in the bag, then Iowa happened and she realized she had work to do. After her very un-presidential crying display, she tried to catch up but this is where we stand now…
Obama leads in pledged delegates (1,602 to 1,444), superdelegates (303.5 to 279.5), overall delegates (1905.5 to 1723.5), the popular vote (16,157,639 to 15,583,020), and the total number of contests won (31 to 17).
Of course the media focused on the superficial, media outlets are businesses and superficial sells. Why does it sell? Because this country is filled with people with simplistic views and lazy minds (TWO terms for Bush).
Obama had to deal with the same beast.
Listen, Obama didn’t spend all of her money, he never commented on her appearance, he didn’t advise her to pander with empty pseudo-working class musings and photo-ops and economic quick fixes.
It’s not his fault. Nor it is it the fault of his supporters who are bored with the whining and delusions of victimization the HRC supporters can’t let go of. It is immature and it requires a nimble dance around reality.
Honestly, if you really cared about that little girl in the picture and millions of others like her you wouldn’t even contemplate letting McCain shift the Supreme Court to the far right or continue a foreign policy based on aggression.
But it isn’t really about them, is it?
By the way…
“'Hope' for more fair and equal treatment for women will continue to thrive.”
Really? Do you really feel this way?
“His choice of a wife is pretty indicative of how stupid he thinks women are. Damn, jegal..That last line is amazing revealing food for thought about him for real! Great call!”
This is petty and catty but, more important, hypocritical. It contradicts the core of your initial post.
