Clinton Can't be Saved
by mparker99
I am so angry at Feminist right now. And dissapointed with Senator Clinton who I had the privilage of voting for in her first run for the Senate. They make it seem like there will never be another woman candidate for President. When I can think of a couple possiblities off the top my head. Let's get real. Including women who have succeded there dead husbands there have been 30 women goveners. 30! This is not the end. Senator Clinton is not even deserving of this loyalty. Talk about nepotism. No other woman would have been able to run for Senator of NY without holding any previous political office and win. She really thinks she's been treated unfairly? What other candidate could have gotten this far with all the mistakes that her campagin has made. If you are Democrat that does not vote or votes McCain in Novemember you will be the ones disenfranchising millions of voters who need affordable healthcare, a quality education for their children, and a living wage. There continued despair will becasue of you. I am a woman, I know how hard it is to let things that bother us go. But we must let it go and support the Democratic nominee. It is now time to move on to more important battles.

To Sen Clinton supporters,

IF Sen Clinton wasTHE stonger candidate ... she'd be in the lead ... Period!

Despite having OVER WHELMING odds in her favor ie ... money ($200 million +), national name recognition, backing of the most famous ,well respected, former President living, estabished national organization, arguably the best and experienced, seasoned campagin team in Demo politics, support and backing of the largest donators in the demo party, support of Senators, Congress people, Washington politicos, early large lead in super delegates, early support of Unions, Newspapers, influential vocal National support, the major news media,its pundits AND a national consensus that SHE is THE front runner (that against 5 white males and 1 Hispanic male) ... etc.

Sen Clinton IS behind ... delegate count. super delegates, money raised, states won, legitimate universally recongnizes popular vote, support of Unions, Newspapers, donors, Senators, Congress persons, major news media, pundits, endorsements of former competitors in race AND national consensus ... etc

Sen Clinton IS LOSING to a guy whom the American public 15 months ago could not pronounce his name AND is an African- American male with little national exposure ... WHY you might ask?

Sen Obama ran and continues to run a better organized, smarter, financially responsible campaign. Has been in public office WITH a track record of doing what he says he believes in. Presented policies and postions that the American people want and offered an invitation to the American people to help in making the same happen. AND has PERSONALLY demonstrated himself to be a rational, thoughtful, level headed, intelligent, open minded, inspirtational, good natured, responsible PERSON ... that's who WE ... THE American people want in the White House!!!!!

Is that too much to ask?

Nor should she!

I'm also pissed at her. Sorry, but I am. This has just gone far enough. I can't wait to get the last three primaries over with and for her to get the hell out of the race.

Period.

End of campaign. End of sentence. End of Hillary. I"m sick to effing death of her.

Nicely put.

I actually checked out the list of female governors, past and present, and I found this:

Clinton has been treated equally or even better than her counterparts. If someone else had been as stubborn and had employed race bating as Clinton had done, the MSM would probably have been on their case. This woman lies without any compulsion. She totally lacks class and to me, she has given feminism a really bad name.

She should go away before the democratic party begins to query her credentials.
