Biden: Hillary Better VP Choice Than Me (OneVoteOneBrick's Blog)
Joe is one of my favorite Democrats, but far too honest to be helpful for team Obama. See Michelle, if only you could get past it. I'm sure this comment will bring the disenfranchised folks back to the arms of Obama soon:

Crazy Utterance of the Day: "Hillary Clinton will cause the stock market to crash" (Augustus' Blog)

According to noted foot enthusiast and former Clinton crony Dick Morris, the growing perception of a Hillary victory in 2008 will cause the stock market to crash as investors sell their stocks in order to avoid paying the increased capital gains taxes that the New York senator has promised. "And that is only the start of the many gifts we’d get...

Best shot at Hillary Wins? (kate's Blog)

With the next Democratic debate on the horizon and Obama on the attack, the Philadelphia debate tonight looks to be a chance for a little Hillary bashing (sounds oddly similar to the last Republican debate).  The struggle for Obama:  how to take Hillary out without ruining his good-guy image.  Unfortunately, however, for all involved, it looks like Hillary has struck the first blow.

Hillary Papers to Be Released in January (Augustus' Blog)

Those "mannish," "ruthless" women, Hillary and Nancy (stefcon's Blog)

I find articles like "The Myth of the Iron Lady" in today's Post, regarding people's perceptions of female leaders, very interesting. It's particularly thought-provoking to me because I still have my reservations about Hillary Clinton-- but as a young female voter, I really, really want to like her.

According to NBC, when the Democratic rules committee meets on 31 May, the Clinton team will argue that since Obama wasn't on the ballot in Michigan, he should get no delegates, while Hillary should get 79 delegates. Swear to God.

Hillary wields the gender card proudly (stefcon's Blog)

Tonight, perhaps for the first time ever, I felt like I saw a bit of authenticity in Hillary Clinton. As a female voter, this meant a great deal to me. There could never be any question about the significance of Hillary's campaign; whether you like it or not, the fact that she is a woman is notable. Mrs. Clinton has certainly acknowledged that and at times has tried to embrace it-- but, in my humble opinion, she...

Thoughts On Hillary's Speech (Mark Nickolas' Blog)

I thought Hillary Clinton's speech was incredibly powerful and effective. It must have been very difficult for her to deliver it but she did it with grace, style, and poise. Barack Obama has to be very pleased with it. It crossed my mind many times that, while it may not mesh perfectly with his campaign theme, Obama may very well need Clinton as his running mate.

This is an interesting move to have Hillary spend a day in a state where the last poll from July has McCain up +16. Do the internals from Obama show something else???

Where Was Hillary During The 2000 Florida Recount? (Mark Nickolas' Blog)

Now that Hillary Clinton (D) is shamelessly evoking the 2000 Florida Recount in her desperate effort to lay claim to the Florida delegation -- and the fact that Kevin Spacey's film on the recount called 'Recount' is being shown on HBO this...

About Hillary's RFK Comments (Mark Nickolas' Blog)

A number of you have e-mailed me about my thoughts on Hillary Clinton's (D) controversial comments during a Sioux Falls Argus Leader editorial board meeting where some have concluded she hinted at the specter of assassination (noting that Robert F. Kennedy was killed in June) as a reason for her continuing to stay in the race.

Hillary Loses democrats lost their soul and the presidential race (terramir's Blog)
Ok now it's official, the democratic party that lost the 2000 election because every vote didn't count just slapped democratic principals in the Face and became as corrupt as the republicans. One of the reasons Hillary is so behind in this race were the florida and michigan votes, not because of just this decision, but also because it took so long to decide it. If the Florida and Michigan votes had counted from the beginning the fundraising...

Obama may need to consider Hillary for the VP slot (Obama may need to consider Hillary for the VP slot Board)
Hillary did get 17 million votes, a lot of them in all the right states for November. And new polling data by SurveyUSA in the key battleground states shows that a number of the other possible VP candidates simply don’t help the Obama ticket much. Webb doesn’t seem to help Obama at all, and Sebelius helps only marginally; likewise for Richardson and Biden. The only two tickets that seem to do really well against McCain are...

Hillary's Deception (Noah Stephenson's Blog)

Is this the Hillary Clinton who supposedly will 'do what is best' for the Party?:

You know, I understand that a lot of people are asking, what does Hillary want? What does she want? I want the nearly 18 million Americans who voted for me to be respected, to be heard and no longer to be invisible.

You have voted because you wanted to take back the White House, and because of you, we won...

Hillary, Sec. Of State??? (Hillary, Sec. Of State??? Board)
Well it seems she will accept it. "Hillary Clinton is expected to accept the position of secretary of state in the Obama administration, FOX News has confirmed. A formal announcement is planned for after Thanksgiving. Reports indicate that Sen. Clinton made her decision to accept quite recently, after persistent courting by Obama and his transition team." Another 4 years of the Clintons. How could America be so lucky?
