LOL at the above.

One thing, please oh please tell me that "Obama-nation" doesn't catch on. I realize it's a cute play on words, but your friend does realize that "abomination" is a negative word, right?

JUST FREAKING CONCEDE ALREADY.

OTW-I agree with you. I do not understand the poker games she is now playing at all. Yes, she does have chips to cash in but at what cost to whom and how many?
Just about the only thing I can think of at this late hour of the day is that she wishes to let her followers vent for a few days and then come out with some speech or announcement that she is going to fully support Obama.
But all in all, IMVHO, it would have been over all so much better for just about all concerned if she had done that tonight.
As in many cases, only time will tell on this.

Saying it because I don't understand how Americans have let this happen.

Yes, I'm in a GOP lobbying firm and I do support McCain, but I can fathom the idea of Hillary running the country. And while I don't like her or her politics, I don't think she'd be a global disaster for the US the same way I think Obama could be.

He's a FANTASTIC, top of the line speaker but the man's hardly ready to be Commander-in-Chief and President and his politics would destroy our economy in my opinion...

Oh well, let the battle begin I suppose.

That might be the plan.

I wish the vindictive, shrill bitch would just go on and quit. No one wants her as VP. In fact, I'm still undecided at this point, but if she is Obama's running mate, I'm going McCain all the way. I don't want that woman and her dirtbag husband anywhere near the White House.

Word, word, wordy mc word. If he picks her (or should I say is forced to pick her) he'll never have a chance of winning.

First, this is a terrible argument for why I should vote for Barack Obama. Wealth redistribution, higher taxes and increased regulation aren't what I think America needs to rebuild the economy.

Second, at least we're retaining the appearance of capitalism. Enterprise economic systems fluctuate. I'm ok with that.

Agreed, Hillary would have been a pretty good choice but we haven't had a president as liberal as Obama since.... I can't even think of one.
