Re: I will never look at Democratic Party the same again...

This post isn't about Palin is it? It's about Hillary isn't it? It's over, and if you believed in what Hillary was fighting for you'll vote for Obama.

Hillary ran a good campaign but she made some critical mistakes that proved fatal to her chances, chief of which was not understanding the rules of the primary that split the delegates. Her Iraq war vote didn't do her any favors either. Her ability to manage her own campaign proved lacking, and she accrued quite a debt spending money she didn't have to defeat Obama after hte numbers showed she couldn't win then expected him to bail her out, which leaves in question her financial managerial abilities.

You can bring up Michigan and Florida if you wish but keep in mind she agreed not to count the delegates before the election, and even with those delegates she still would have lost, so it's a moot point.

I hope this has convinced you that, while Hillary DID indeed suffer sexist attacks, her loss stemmed from multiple legitimate problems within her candidacy.
