I have no idea what that title means. Lately, however, I feel as though Hillary is taking this to the end on principal alone. I guess I can't fault. Her campaign is similar to Shirly Chisolm from the 1972 campaign. Alhtough, I must admit, I truly wish we had more folks out there like Shirley. Unbought and Unbossed. She was an original and an independent.
Anyhow, Shirley campaign all the way until the end. And finally, at the Democratic Convention relinquished her delegates. Part of why she did it I believe was pride and part of it was simply to show folks she could go all the way.
Is this why Hillary continues to run? To show how tough she is? Isn't that a bit of an Ego trip? Doesn't this election go far beyond her? Is she in danger of becoming the next Ralph Nader?
That being said. Why should she quit? Maybe she can pull it off? I dunno. Anything is possible. I suppose.
p.s. Sorry I've been missing lately, work and music has gotten in the way. i'm sure you've all missed me. I do miss ranting and raving every once in a while. Which is why I had to stop by and torture you all!!! HA HA AH AY AHAHAH!
On his show recently, John Stewart told John McCain that he should choose Hillary as his Veep. That would be friggin HI- larious, turn the country on its ear & swiftly backhand Barrack. Likely, no.
Seriously, I don't see Hillary psyched about returning to the Senate defeated. She's in it to win it; money on the table-- gotta play the bluff hard. Contest is not over until magic delegate count is reached. Neither candidate wins the nomination without Super Delegates.
What's preventing Super Delegates from totally buying into Hillary's arguments about the key Red states she thinks she can win in the National? Where is the line on how much of a delegate lead should tip the public opinion scales in someone's favor? 1 delegate? 25 delegates? 150 delegates? >10% margin? Clearly, they will give more consideration than ever, as to how their decisions are received by the various groups of Dem voters. Either way, I imagine we'll see the hardened loser offered- up again in 8 years. Oh boy, goody 
I don't think it matters who gets the Dem nomination. Hell, even Kerry coulda beat McCain if the Dems have continued success tying McCain to the Bush administration. Well, okay maybe not Kerry. LOL.
Is that I basically know nothing. I didn't think that Kerry could possibly lose to Bush. But somehow, he did. I don't see how anyone could look at Bush and not see what an Idiot he is. BUT . . . MANY people do. Beyond me. Rather intelligent people still like Bush. UGH.
At first, I was unsure if Obama could win it. Then, I thought he was going to sweep through. But I gotta give Hillary credit. She is a powerful candidate although I personally have not really cared for the campaign she has run.
But then< I thought maybe she would swing the tides . . . but she didn't. And then the Wright thing came on, but really, that is so stupid it's pointless.
But< here we are. Here chance are slim. I wonder what Barrack would do in the same situation? for some reason I think he really out classes her that way and would step down.
It's like match play in golf. Barrack has a 2 foot putt to win it. And Hillary won't concede it. She is gonna make him putt it. Anyhow. Ramble on.
ha ha.
I think I use sports references too much.
But everyone can understand Pee Wee golf, and that damn windmill ALWAYS gets in the way. And Yet, it moves SO SLOW!!!!
But, I digress, I don't want to take Hillary for Granted. Home girl is one tough cookie. And she seems set on going all 15 rounds. Two heavy weights, slugging away at each other.
I suppose June is only a month away.
When all this primary election began I was all for an Obama-Clinton Ticket.
Either way. Clinton Pres. Obama - VP. Or Vice versa. I was very much hoping that would happen. But, over the course of the election, I have been turned off by Hillary. Learning more about her Healthcare debacle of the 1990s really scared me. It also scares me of what role Bill Clinton will play if she gets into office. Then, you learn about all the money she has taken from the health care industry. Then, I look at the campaing she is run. And more and more so, I see a person who will be more divisive than I would like. Therefor, I do not think I would like Hillary as VP if Barack becomes the democratic candidate. However, I think if Hillary is elected, I would LOVE to see Barack as the VP. Does this make me a hippocrit? I think so. I think Barack offers Hillary ALOT more than she offers him.
However, at another point, I thought I could see Hillary somewhere in the executive branch. Secretary of State perhaps? but, lately, I have even been rethinking that and I think Obama needs FRESH faces.
Of course, I am sure Obama will bring in a bunch old world old time politicians. I have to believe Ted Kennedy would be in there some where.
I dunno.
I think Hillary would make a GREAT VP for John McCain. I bet if John McCain selected Hill as his RUnning mate. He would win. Or. he would lose.
yes. I believe I have covered all bases.
