Hillary Clinton's campaign photo album's got something missing

For those of you who still can't quite accept the fact that Hillary Clinton is gone, finished, beaten, defeated as a Democratic presidential candidate, her campaign has just posted an online photo album.

For a walk down memory lane, go here. But FIRST, be warned: She's gonna hit you up for money on every page. There's that $2New York Senator Hillary Clinton in happier Democratic presidential campaign times0-million-plus campaign debt to pay off.

It seems like only two weeks ago today that the gritty, determined candidate who went farther than any other serious female candidate declined to concede and appeared to be ready to fight on for some time.

But then the next morning the Three Democratic Musketeers -- Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- launched their preplanned pre-dawn publicity offensive giving party superdelegates two whole days to make up their mind on their favorite candidate, Clinton or Barack Obama, knowing full well the latter already had it in the bag, delegate-wise.

They headed Hillary off at the pass. And after moving through her five stages of grief Clinton gave her gracious surrender/endorsement speech the following Saturday. With those secret signs of friendship buried within.

Since then -- poof! -- she's disappeared. Seems like there's a hole in our life after 17 months of Hillary Clinton all day most days, nothing. Suddenly. Nada.

Some polls seem to show her followers, namely older women, falling in line behind Obama, although our comment board sure doesn't show that.

Anyway, for a little trip down memory lane complete with photos of Hillary and Chelsea and, oops, wait, no Bill photos. Not one little snapshot to commemorate his angry outbursts. No head about to explode after another primary defeat for his spouse. Not one hubby pic in the whole book. Hmmm.

Wonder what that's about? We'll have to wait and see what the National Enquirer can make out of that.

It won't take long fore more people to wake up to the fact that Obama was helped to his selection as the nominee by the Republicans. That is one of the reasons he has running low on cash. Thats why he does not care to see the people anymore he just wants the money.

The Clintons made well over 100 million dollars in the ten-years following the presidency of Bill Clinton. It was her choice to stake her campaign with over 10 million dollars (a luxury few could afford) and run up another 10 or so million in debt to vendors. The Clintons should pay their own bills just like the working middle class she claimed to identify with! They would still have 10s of millions left over afterwards; hardly a case for bankruptcy!

Hillary, the Queen of Spin and a Legend in Her Own Mind!

Why do we need the National Enquirer when you folks seem to be doing such a thorough job?

Obama's running low on cash??? Obama does not care to see the people anymore, just wants the money? Huh? Obama has plenty of money from my $5 here and there and others $20 whenever they can amounting to millions in small real people donations.

Hillary is an amazing public servant who remembered too late the people she is really serving. Obama has sparked a movement that is deep, powerful, and will create lasting change because it's from the grassroots up with an amazing once in a lifetime leader. Wake up, Joe Smith or is it time to get a good night's sleep.

When is the news media going to stop talking about the Clinton's and concentrate on real news. I want to know how McCain intends to staff the war that he has said he will continue if elected. Is he going to bring back the draft or send back the National Guard for the 10th time?

ABSOLUTELY, Joe. Not a day goes by I don't get e-mail from the DNC BEGGING for money now that Rove has completley cut off the GOP spigot to Obama's straw campaign and they're dependent on the real 20% of his DNC supporters.

And thank you Andrew for admitting that the mainstream media is full of nothing but lies with their skewed polls of Obama supporters, compared to the real sentiment on the message boards. The Nobama/PUMA movement is adding/finding thousands of followers per day, and if the DNC wants to win, it had better do a 180 and choose the only candidate that CAN win against McCain, because 95% of Hillary's voters ARE voting McCain in November.

Hillary or McCain!

Nobama '08

What are you talking about? He has lots of money, Clinton was the one that was 20 million in debt. He broke the records for the most money ever raised in the history of America.

Wow. Just wow. What world are you living in? The republicans working *against* Obama and *for* Hillary (did you never hear of "Project Chaos"?) He's raised more money than any other presidential candidate in history up to this point, AND he's been holding more small, "get to see the people" campaign events since clinching the nomination.

Congratulations, you managed to be wrong with every single sentence in your post. My only guess is that you did that intentionally as a troll. Noone could be that dense.

Wow, to be a reporter that is supposed to be unbiased you are a real jerk. Hillary won the popular vote and the DNC decided they knew better than the people! That is why so many of us are crossing party lines, not that we particularly like McCain, but anything is better than Obama! Obama is the elitest choice and the people in his consituency whose statements I have read are not supporting him, I have read him being described as corrupt and having not accomplished anything he promised. I am not surprised! He wasn't elected Senator tot he US until 2004, so he didn't get to vote on the Iraq war, did he? And if he had of had the opportunity he probably would have voted 'present' like the other 130 times on hard issues!! AND why shouldn't she take a break? THe photo album is about 6 or 8 photos, and it is her with the people who voted for her!!! There is one pic with Chelsea at a rally! Grow up, this is the best reporting you could do? So report this, Most Obama supporters immediately call a person not in favor of Obama a racist even if one tries to discuss issues and can specifically name issues and policies they disagree with. Why are these Obama supporters trying to strong arm America into voting for Obama? Why should we be victims of Chicago style corruption and pressure? He won't get my vote or my husbands. We are now independents, we disagree with the DNC and how the states of Florida and Michigan were handled. Cheating is wrong. Period. So they lost our votes.

(NEWS FLASH! We're not reporters. This isn't a newspaper. it's an online political blog. Have your say. So will we.)

Why, oh Why, won't this woman GET OFF THE STAGE! Hands out for $$, who would have thought! Since leaving the whitehouse, this trailer trash wench who never owned a home has raked in millions from her favors from the whitehouse. Let them pay off their own bills, or give up the trips to Switzerland for face work. Just go away.............

It is an enigma to me. I have NEVER respected nor liked Hillary Clinton...far from it. Between Hillary and Bill, I would have chosen Bill any day, and I detested his all-encompassing, philandering ways. How frightening to me that Barack Obama has "almost" made a Hillary fan of me. How then, must true Hillary admirers/supporters feel?

How is Obama low on cash when he is crashing McCain in fund-raisers (joe smith). Obama took out the Clinton machine, in a party that heavily supported her. He comes in to the main race three months behind McCain and now leads him by 6 points in the polls. Lets all be real about Obama his campaign is light years ahead of everyone else's, thats why Clintion lost.

Just think where Hillary would be if wiriters like you supported her instead of Obama. The Obama celebrity drama is no way to elect a president. I'm not star struck. I'm voting for the real deal. Hillary's got my vote even if I have to write in her name on the ballot.

Joe Smith, you have got it backwards. Its the Clinton campaign that is in debt; the Obama campaign is flush with money: they can raise millions in online contributions from small donations. And you have it backwards about the Republicans supporting Obama: they supported Clinton because they knew she would be the easier to beat in the fall. They have been collecting dirty Clinton laundry for years. Remember "Operation Chaos?" It was organized by reactionaries like Rush Limbaugh to support Clinton and boast her over Obama. The Republicans are afraid of Obama, very afraid, because they know he will win.

Andrew Malcolm why are you still so rude and insulting toward Hillary Clinton? (rhetorical question) Wow, some of you men just can't help yourselves. I wonder how many of your readers are women...and you are insulting many of them too!

Hi Joe Smith. I'm just wondering where in the world did you get that from and where have you been? Better yet, where are you now. So misinformed.........

Joe...sounds like you have more than caffeine in your early morning coffee.

Republicans placed all of their hopes on the fact that Hillary would win the Democratic nomination. They've had years to formulate thousands of offensive and defensive plays against the well-established Clinton play book.

Rush Limbaugh and other right wing radio nuts actively encouraged Republicans to vote for Hillary to derail Obama in many of the final primaries.

Hillary failed because she adopted a 15-state strategy that hinged on her sweeping the "Super Tuesday" primaries. The arrogant strategy of an assumed coronation of the heir apparent failed miserably.

Perhaps, if Hillary had considered ALL 50 STATES to be important and if she had spent less time posturing as the inevitable nominee for a year, she would have righted her course long before late-April. She didn't.

And, yes,apparently it is possible for a black man to compete and win in primarily white states, especially Iowa...something else that Hillary and her aging baby boomers apparently never thought possible.

Your generation had a dream; we are that dream.

Welcome to the future.

I miss Hillary...please don't be rude to her anymore...enough!
Oh and by the way, her "followers" ARE NOT flocking to BO...don't believe those polls you hear about.

@Joe Smith

What on earth is that even supposed to mean? What you said makes absolutely no sense at all. Obama has been raising TONS of cash from more than 1.5 million Americans. He's raised more than $250 million in this way, while McCain has raised only about $80 million. The RNC's fundraising is the only reason McCain has the money to run his campaign for President. Even Clinton raised less, about $180 million or so.

Maybe you should think before you type.

Heck even rats band together when the going gets tough... not the Clintons though, they're a lower species all together.

Gad...but wouldn't it be a better world without them?

Ari Fleischer on CNN during I believe Super Tuesday:

"Every night when Republicans go to bed, they pray that Hillary Clinton becomes the nominee"


It's common sense that Hillary's "old", "rural", and "white" voters would go with the old white republican man over Hillary Clinton, or any other democratic woman. Her only real "supporters" is the hugely vocal minority of mostly feminist women who desperately wanted a woman-- any woman, to become president. Now they're just being sore losers, playing dumb about her attempts to steal Michigan and Florida, because they can't get over the fact that they lost. You don't see the latino base, who voted more against the blacks, rather than as a bunch of Hillary Clinton supporters, or the old rural and white people, who barely pay enough attention to know what is really going on, and voted base largely on skin color preferences, coming out complaining constantly about her loss. They don't care. In the end the latter will probably come out for the republicans anyways. The right will use "guns, immigration and religion" to keep these intelligent people in line. No, it's a small group of woman driven by their hurt feminist pride that just won't shut up and go away. Younger women under 50 will continue to be who you see cry and moan that she didn't get the nomination. And the number is nowhere near 18 million. The number of real supporters who are actually still thinking about it all, and caring enough to write a letter, or post on a message board, or actually protest or even change their vote, is well, well under 1 million.

Senator Clinton is not defeated nor beaten.

Didn't your mother ever tell you, Mr. Malcolm, that the strength and courage needed to do the right thing is part of Women's genetic make up? No?
Well, it's never too late to learn.

George Soros has hi-jacked the Democratic Party this year and ruined Hilary's chances against Obama. I am not sure what to make of Bill, but I can tell you that Howard Deane worked with Soros 527s to eliminate Hilary.

Joe Smith, what are you smoking? A frustrated 'Billary' supporter no doubt. The Republicans crossed party lines in order to vote for Hillary. Not the other way around, Dufus.

Helped by Republicans (who by all accounts consider HC the weaker candidate due to her high negative ratings)?

Low on cash (despite setting records for small donations fund raising)?

Seriously. Did you even watch the primaries?

It won't take long fore more people to wake up to the fact that Obama was helped to his selection as the nominee by the Republicans. That is one of the reasons he has running low on cash. Thats why he does not care to see the people anymore he just wants the money.

Negative - The Republican spoilers that crossed over to confuse the Dem process were voting to keep HRC in the race. As for cash, BO running low? Que? He's got lots of it.

Thanks to the Three Democratic Musketeers I mailed my Republican Party application to Robin Carnahan Secretary of State of Missouri.

No chances I or the other "bitter" 4.9 million women will "get in line, get behind, fall (doesn't that denote losing one's baring?) in line behind the Three Democratic Musketeers Manchurian Candidate BO.

God, I am going to miss the party, oh well, the GOP was the party of Lincoln so I guess I am going home.

McCain '08!!!!

Hey Joe Smith:

Yeah, I agree that Obama is probably toast in the general election, but you can't blame the republicans for that.

What do you mean he's running low on cash? The rumor is he's raising $100 million in june alone. It will be interesting to see how many campaign financing snafus hit the light of day leading up to the election. There's no way for anyone to raise that much money without at least a little funny business, even if the candidate is "not aware" of it.

Kind of like he wasn't aware of Rev. Wright saying controversial things. And he wasn't aware you were supposed to put your hand over your heart during the national anthem. And he wasn't aware that bombing an ally like Pakistan might be bad. Well, you get the picture. Yeah he's toast. Hillary could not bring up any of these things without getting hammered on the far left, but the republican 527 groups will not be as merciful. Obama will not know what hit him. The buyer's remorse will start about 48 hours after the democratic convention. There is a chance this could be a mondale-like defeat for the dems in a year that they should have walked away with it.

Well said, well written. Ah, revenge, sweet revenge. I hope Hillary finds a way to nail the lowlifes who spit in her eye. I wish she would find a way to sabotage jomama and leave a flatulence-like odor in the noses of his ovine-like creature base. I'ld savor every detail of it. Yes, I wouldl!

Obama is the stalking horse for Howard Dean and the netroots to take over the party from the Clintons. Problem is, Obama is inexperienced and still unknown, and Hillary still owns the middle. Her supporters are not going to vote for him. Dean miscalculated how much they identify with her, how much they resent her historic candidacy being dismissed.

Before Denver, the Dems are going to conclude they'll lose. Hillary is the only way they're going to win in November. How do they un-railroad her then without alienating his supporters? Or is Dean willing to lose in order not to give the party back to Hillary and Bill?

The endgame is going to be interesting indeed.

@Joe Smith -- Yes, but little did you know that the Democrats also selected John McCain as the nominee. Hate to break it to you.

Why don't you just leave the lady alone? Leave her alone!. It is none of your business what pictures she chooses to release.

Why don't you just leave the lady alone? Leave her alone!. It is none of your business what pictures she chooses to release.

I think the album is great!! There are many Hillary supporters who will be writting her name in when voting
in Nov. Obama will not get all the women's vote. We
are strong and still angry over the way Hillary was treated and still treated by the media and the Democratic party.
Obama slapped Hillary again with the hiring of Patti Solis Doyle. This just makes us madder!!!!

...What the heck is this guy talking about? Obama isn't low on cash and hasn't been- and if he was being "helped" by the Republicans- why would he be low on cash?

It doesn't seem like Obama has gotten that much of a boost in the polls with women. All the polls I have seen show him only gaining 3% with women. Sure, McCain's numbers dropped with women at the same time, but that just means there are more undecided women right now; not that Obama has us in the bag.

He needs to reach out to Clinton voters, and he has not done this yet. McCain on the other hand has been reaching out to us and showing us some respect. It will be a huge mistake on his part if he thinks we are going to just fall in line. He needs to earn our votes.

Country before party.

I don't think Hillary Clinton's endorsement speech was all that "gracious" unless you read it, like a deposition, instead of watch it on TV. Where were the familiar self affirming head nods when she uttered "yes we can," the ones she usually uses to cue the crowd that it's time to applaud. Instead she looked like she was fighting back acid reflux. The longer she keeps up "Operation Passive Agressive" the sillier she is going to seem at the Convention. When she did nothing as headlines announced a few days ago that McCain was courting her constituents, Obama had to do something, like appoint Patti Solis Doyle V.P. chief of staff. And now her well paid staffers who are probably still waiting for their final check say they think Clinton should be offended. Obama was my second choice. And I think Clinton supporters for whom Obama was their second choice should be offended that she is not living up to her promise to support the nominee. If she could send out a little press release about Tim Russert, she could have sent one out to her supporters, reminding them of what's at stake in terms of the Supreme Court if McCain is elected, when he tried garner the support of her followers.

Geee. It's Andrew again. He's so funny. Real witty too. . . and that biting sarcasm. . . so original and such a display of political insight, right up there with playground taunting.

Hey Andrew, what do you expect Hillary to do? Keep campaigning? Or maybe show up at Obama rallies like a stalker or a Norma Desmond waiting for just one more closeup? Would you be happier if she just couldn't let go?

Your gig is over Andrew. You can now focus all your energies on campaigning for your heeeeero, the righteous Obama.

I have only recently been hearing about something called a "man crush" which I never knew was such an issue. I think, however, that it is a symptom of Obama mania.

Why should she not be gone from the nasty articles like yours? The batter Hillary Clinton days are over. She is a winner in so many ways, but most men don't get it about this resiliant spirit.

You clamored for change? Just wait...

YOU STILL DON'T GET IT THAT IT WAS NOT ABOUT BILL CLINTON!!!!!!!!!

Your moronic attitude is what got this country in trouble to begin with. When you don't stand up for what is wrong in this country, you will never get what is right.

The media in general seems to enjoy dancing with two left feet. Oh, well.

Andrew Malcolm should retire long time ago, but he is still here writing little blogs about nothing.

Well Obama, as the presumptive nominee, just made his first error in judgement, when he hired Solis to be chief-of-staff for the not yet named VP.

This is a signal to Hillary supporters that he does not intend to pick her as his VP... which is fine by us! We didn't want to be strong-armed into voting for Barack anyway, even with Clinton as VP. It would still be a VOTE for Barack, not Hillary.

CLEARLY, he misjudges his strength. He will soon find out, that Hillary supporters WILL NOT fall in line to vote for him. If Al Gore is the best endorsement they have been saving, then I have sad news for the DNC. It has no impact whatsoever.

Obama's intention to visit Irag & Afghanistan before the general election is good news too! He will strut in there thinking "I'm all that" and expect them to fall in line for him. He's in for a rude awakening, and a few stumbles that will seal his inability to be elected. Hope he does it before August.

Hillary still has chance to be the nominee... when Barack loses the confidence of his backers before the convention.

Either way... It's Hillary or McCain!!!

PUMA

I am surprised that there has not been more coverage of the fact that many if not most of these supposedly die-hard Clintonistas are Republican/Limbaugh agents provocateur. That's your difference in commenting versus polling, coupled to the fact that only the most motivated and extreme actually post on these comments sites.

If you are under 13 years of age you you probably wrote this article. I’ve read better journalism in a high school

Hillary was pushed out of the race by Nancy Pelosi (traitor to feminists everywhere) and the other two musketeers. I am very unhappy with our choice now. Vote Republican (which I have never done in my life) or vote for the most liberal Dem ever. I may just sit this one out.

Why can't we leave people alone? Hillary Clinton ran a wonderful campaign, she would have been the best President. Obama has won the nomination due to the superdelegates (whoever they are?) I wonder why the people vote certainly not to elect their choice as President that is left to the Super Delegates!! Come November when they want people to vote I think I will pass. Who elects the President in the race between the Republicans and the Democrats? It's certainly not the people in the Primaries. Please leave Hillary alone. Keep your nasty comments to yourself. I think the process is disgusting, The People do not choose their nominee the Super Delegates are the ones who need to vote not the people.

Hahahahahaha xbjllb!!

WoW it never ceases to amaze me how some people have really lost it. Nobama 08'??? A straight GOP ticket and you think this is the solution???

I hope somebody gives you your pills back

I hope President Barrack Obama will transform the American Economy so that people energetically create and contribute rather than feeling victimized with regards to money. He certainly did wonders in financing and running his campaign!

I hope President Barrack Obama will transform the American Economy so that people energetically create and contribute rather than feeling victimized with regards to money. He certainly did wonders in financing and running his campaign!

Rachel you are a lunatic.

You disagree with how Michigan and Florida were handled? You think it's CHEATING they were left out??? Wow. Do you know WHY those states were disallowed and that Hillary agreed to leaving them out initially?

Please, oh please, keep you and your husbands votes to yourself. There is ONE thing right about your post, cheating is wrong, and I'm glad Hillary didn't prosper from it.

Yawn.

I have never voted in an election before. This year I am not only voting, but I follow this election very close and I also am contributing to a campaign for the first time. OBAMA 08'

Whatever happened, me and my family will never ever vote for Obama, he is not the right person for the job

If he is Jesse Jackson we might consider

NOBAMA

Vote for McCain all the way from all Clintonites who have been wronged by the Democrats big wigs

We are the people and not Nancy Pilosi or the rubbish Kennedy's

No to Obama

No way

I find it unbelievable that the media and the DNC cannot see the forest through the trees. A much stronger ticket would have been Clinton, President and Obama, Vice President. That way the Democrats could have maintained the presidency for 16 years.

The constant media criticism of Hillary Clinton, the abandonment of her supporters, led me to make a choice. I will vote for neither McCain or Obama--and I've voted for every Democratic president since 1976.

Hillary Clinton was the stronger, better candidate!

Regardless of what side you came down on in the primaries, we all need to come together to support the democratic candidate. Hillary ran a tough race, but it's over now. All our focus must be on defeating John McCain this November.

Hillary supporters: We cannot do this without you! Even though we weren't your first choice, even though we had our differences during the primary, I hope you find a way over to the Obama column to help beat back the GOP in the election!

It's the difference between doing what feels good and doing what you know, in your heart, is right. Doing what will make you feel momentarily vindicated or doing what will bring our nation together.

The choice is yours Hillary supporters. We'll leave a light on for you! Hope you find a way to join us.

"Hillary Obama Unite"
Well thanks - that's the first sign of an Obama supporter ever making a gesture toward the Clinton supporters. The sad truth is, though, that neither Obama supporters nor Obama himself is making any move toward us, whereas McCain is doing that.
"The choice is yours Hillary supporters?" Yes, the choice is ours of course, but that choice is made for a reason. Obama himself has to earn our votes, and he can do so by talking to us about the bread and butter issues that Hillary addressed so well. The Dem base that Hillary brought together is not to be dismissed. We count for something.

As a disenchanted HIllary supporter, I was lukewarm about Obama for a little while, then I read a list on the Bruce Blog about McCain's oppressive policies towards women & it remiinded me that what Obama & Hillary have said all along is true: Their differences wth each other pale in comparison to their differences with McCain - how could any self respecting woman vote for McCain?? I will absolutely contribute to Obama's campaign.

Dear Hillary supporters (and pseudo-supporters),

We Mets fans feel your pain, but you don't see us walking out of the ballpark in the middle of playoffs proclaiming our conversion to the Yankees or the Red Sox (well, never for more than a few blocks to the bar.).

You've played a great game, but serious mistakes were made in strategy and execution. It happens.

Pick yourselves up, dust yourselves off, and get your butts back in the game. The playoffs are over, and the world series is about to begin. So, the pitcher has changed; the team and the objective are still the same.

Hillary's platform and Obama's platform are almost identical.

McCain's platform opposes them both.

Voting for McCain out of spite is self-defeating and plays into the tired, old stereotypes of spiteful, bitter women. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. You'll be proving the wrong point and making the wrong people seem right about you.

You have a strong position going into the convention and the general election. Leverage it, don't lose it.

If you're a Hillary pseudo-supporter who sincerely intends to vote for McCain, either your spite knows no bounds or your bigotry has been revealed. We'll recognize you at the polls. You'll either be the ones with scowls and no noses or the ones in white robes with rope and coat hangers in hand.

No one who sincerely supports Hillary on the issues could ever vote for McCain and a Bush third term.

Keep your eyes on the prize and your head in the game. We came to win, and we're not going home empty handed this time.

While sewing up a cut on the hand of a 75 year old west Texas rancher, the doctor struck up a conversation. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be the next President.


The old rancher said, “Well ya know somethin' son, Obama is what we used to call... a 'post turtle'.” Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, “When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's called a 'post turtle'.”


The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there and you just wonder what kind of a dumb @$$ put him up there in the first place!”

As far as I know, there is no organization called Republicans for Hillary, but there sure is a Republicans for Obama, started in 06.
Democrat for a Day is an Obama ploy.
There was a lot of crossover voting for BHO in the early contests.
Republicans supported an "Anybody But Hillary" e-mail campaign.
Worship Obama all you want, but you shouldn't have to twist the facts to do it.

It is time for the Silent Majority in America to wake up and go to the polls in November. This country cannot afford to have a Racist, Whitey Hating, Rabble Rousing first lady in the White House.

"VOTE NOBAMA IN NOVEMBER"

It is time for The Silent Majority in America to wake uip and go to the polls in November. This country cannot afford to have a Racist, Whitey Hating Rabble Rouser as First Lady sitting in the White House.

"VOTE NOBAMA IN NOVEMBER"

Yawp, aside from the fact that I am the mother of two gorgeous young adult sons who would be considered nothing but fresh meat by the war mongering right wing, I am a card carrying liberal who would never consider voting for McCain under any circumstances. I don't care how dirty my girl was treated. Talk about cutting off my nose to spite my face.

As far as your Mets Yankees analogy. I don't remember the refs (the media) performing oral sex acts on Yankee’s players during the game. I also don't remember Mets batters being required to bat with one hand while using the other to fight off attacks from the aforementioned very loyal refs. I also don’t remember the Yankees fans being allowed to carry scope equipped sniper rifles into the stands and being told to fire at players who score (accusations of racism).

My girl lost but she fought the good fight better than, and with more dignity, than any man ever has. But she lost and I'm moving on because politics is a nasty business and Hillary knew that going in. And politics is nothing like sports unless you consider dog fighting to the death between two rabid dogs to be a sport.

I will vote Obaman and every Clinton supporter I know is voting Obama. But don’t try to tell me Obama won fair and square because he didn’t.

Why does Bill Clinton have to be in this album? What is the big deal and why are people still bashing the only democratic candidate who can win in the fall?

Nobama might have broken records by raising the most money, but Hillary has broken an even more impressive record by getting more votes than any other democratic candidate in the history of the democratic primary! (And she's not the nominee why? OH- right- obama bought his nomination with all that money he "raised".) Whatever.

I will NEVER vote for obama...and I was a democrat my entire life. I always voted for the democrat but I do not want another 4 years of an idiot in office who can do nothing but read a teleprompter- we just had 8 years of that...

This seems to be a republican hangout. Go bush.Thank you all for advocating four more years of bush. RNC thanks you all..

This week, Hillary Clinton posted a slideshow of campaign photos on her website, but none of the pictures show Bill Clinton.

Apparently Bill said, "That's OK, none of the websites I go to have pictures of Hillary."

Andrew MalcolmAndrew Malcolm's immigrant parents repeatedly stressed the importance of active participation in a democracy. Early lessons included learning the alphabetical list of states by watching televised roll calls of national political conventions. That childhood exposure led to a lifelong fascination with politics, including 40-plus years of covering them and a brief stint practicing them as press secretary to Laura Bush in 1999-2000.

A veteran foreign and national correspondent, Malcolm served on the Times Editorial Board and was a Pulitzer finalist in 2004. He is the author of 10 nonfiction books and father of four.
