Hillary Clinton's Next Step?

Hello Rod.
I agree with Most of what you wrote here. I think the race for the Democratic nomination should be done as decently as possible. But you forget one thing: the Clintons set the tone with their race baiting.
With his comments about Jesse Jackson in South Carolina months ago, Bill ticked a lot of black people off. Nonetheless, most black people brushed it off. The Clinton brought the whole Jeremiah Wright issue to light, disregarding the fact the Wright has also been one of Bill's spiritual advisors during his administration. Then recently, Hillary touted the "White" vote.
Rod, the break will only be as clean as Hillary allows it to be. She can go gracefully or she can be dragged out kicking and screaming. It's up to her.

Nicely put, Rod. Even the last horse in a race gives its best performance all the way to the wire. It's a shame that the ideal notion of equality has been been usurped by racism and all its "cards."

People of every genetic constitution are now predisposed to fabricate the most obtuse issues from any mention of race, regardless of context. The situation is so ticklish that freedom of speech has given way to advisory censorship.

The subject of race is so proscribed, one has to wonder what approach is used to frame a discussion of anthropology, sociology, geography and other social sciences.

I used to be fairly oblivious to race as a defining quality. Now, I find myself choosing words carefully, so they may not be misconstrued. Sadly, my racial awareness is now painfully acute.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter. I am not a race “baiter” and neither is she. Intentional misunderstanding is not helpful and only serves to exploit race as exclusive and a division of humanity.

I would ask everyone: Please do not contribute.

Yes, she deserves to finish the race. I've always been behind her. I wasn't for her because she was "white" but because she was a Woman.
Honestly what do we really know of Senator Obama ?
I would also find it hard to vote for a person who gave an opponent the "finger". If it was an innocent gesture made to scratch an itch, why the smilling and giggling like a little boy.
I've only voted for one Republican in all my years. (I'm 63.) That was for Arlen Spector in his last election and I'm glad I did.

I happened upon this blog and I must say I'm not quite sure what this rant is really about. If you are defending HRC's right to stay in the race then what was the next to last paragraph about. I think maybe you might want to consider the fact that Ms. Clinton lost her guaranteed win on her own. There really is no need for some sort of conspiracy theory where unscrupulous democrats and defrocked republicans have conspired to bring about Ms. Clinton's demise. Prior to the Primary season she was the presumptive nominee, a lock, and she had the very large majority of African Americans willing to do anything to keep the Clinton mystique going. Her behavior and campaign techniques after Obama began to demonstrate he was in fact a force to be reckoned with, and after each of her losses demonstrated her apparent willingness to do anything to win. This is what alienated most of her followers. Frankly I thought the media's refusal to call her behavior what it was until two days ago was shameful. I also don't understand how African Americans who supported Ms. Clinton could continue to sit by and let it happen. Now she has come to a point where her ego will not allow her to walk away with dignity and her speech has become outright reckless. So much so that even the pro Clinton press could no longer ignore it. (By the way don't you find it odd that a person who has chosen to argue every point real and imagined has not said anything in her own defense?) It also appears you have become reckless as well. Frankly the argument you made in this article is little more than a rant and does not present the view of an individual with a real grasp of reality.

Well, I disagree with most people. I think she should continue your racial campaign. The more she does the more of her own supporters will turn.
She is not only finished for president she has probably lost any chance of being re-elected to the senate.
I think there is an old saying,"Live by the sword".
I am a male of European decent that will be glad to see the Hoodwinking Clinton's and their Quasi-Republican power gone from the democratic party.
What is Bills legacy?
1. Largest prison expansion in U.S. history.
2. Waco
3. Nafta
4. Welfare reform
5. Sista Soldier
6. and lets not forget, the Impeachment
I would vote for McPander before I would vote for her. At least he looks me in the face when is giving me the shaft.

I hope Hillary runs as an Independent.

@Bill Madden: you say "Honestly what do we really know about Senator Obama?"

Funny you should preface your question with Honestly.

Remember the Whitewater scandal? Oh sure the Clintons were never charged - funny how those subpoenaed documents turned up missing, isn't it?

Ah yes the Clintons were not convicted but here is a list of friends and associates and the crimes for which they were convicted:

* Jim Guy Tucker: Governor of Arkansas at the time, removed from office (fraud, 3 counts)

* John Haley: attorney for Jim Guy Tucker (tax fraud)

* William J. Marks Sr.: Jim Guy Tucker business partner (conspiracy)

* Stephen Smith (Whitewater): former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

* Webster Hubbell: Clinton political supporter; Rose Law Firm partner (embezzlement, fraud)

* Jim McDougal: banker, Clinton political supporter: (18 felonies, varied)

* Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple fraud) Bill Clinton pardoned.

* David Hale: banker, self proclaimed Clinton political supporter: (conspiracy, fraud)

* Neal Ainley: Perry County Bank president (embezzled bank funds for Clinton campaign)

* Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud) Bill Clinton pardoned.

* Larry Kuca: Madison real estate agent (multiple loan fraud)

* Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned.

* John Latham: Madison Bank CEO (bank fraud)

* Eugene Fitzhugh: Whitewater defendant (multiple bribery)

* Charles Matthews (Whitewater): Whitewater defendant (bribery)

And you won't vote for Obama because he might have given someone the finger?

I've read Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope. I think I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

MY FELLOW "BITTER", STUPID, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE :-)

If you think like Barack Obama, that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE are just a bunch of "BITTER"!, STUPID, PEASANTS, Cash COWS!, and CANNON FODDER. :-(

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Best regards

jacksmith... Working Class :-)

p.s. You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you don't know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to try and defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering...

You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year. :-)

Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. And I could go on, and on...

OBAMA AIDE: "WORKING-CLASS VOTERS NOT KEY FOR DEMOCRATS" :o

p.s. I have been under heavy attacks for some time now. But it wont stop me. :-)
