Hillary Clinton campaign manager Terry McAuliffe not ready to quit

There's loyalty in politics, and then there's loyalty. Terry McAuliffe, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, appeared on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" Tuesday night a few hours before Clinton's non-concession speech. She's going to The White House in January, he says. As president.

Because Hillary Clinton would be an excellent president. Barrack Obama represents the far left and has always voted for the left fringe ideas. Hillary Clinton represents the extreme middle, and we of the middle have yet to be heard.

What we need in the USA right now is: a candidate who can lose gracefully and stand behind the nominee! We do not need someone spotlighting and hogging the limelight to lick wounds and years of wounds by their supporters. Hillary Clinton has a mismanaged and negative campaign and to prove it, the angrier and illogical supporters are hers and hers alone. Terry McAuliffe is trying to hold on to a paycheck. The entire campaign spent months and months of twisting fantastic lies and now the lies are at their feet. Hillary is an antagonist, and is a "bully" which made her lose votes and she will continue to lose votes because she doesn't know when to quit! She, Hillary is a sad spectacle as she tries to hold on to some dignity. Nastiness and divisiveness will not get it. Sen. Obama has won precisely because he has shown brilliant leadership, brilliant management of his campaign, he electrifies his audiences. Everybody wants a shot in the arm of something new and substantive. Hillary and Bill Clinton are of yesteryear! They had 8 years in the White House and too bad they will be remembered for what Bill did in the last days as well as some of the good things he did. The country does not need to drag out what happened in the 90s. We do not need to read about this negativity all over again.

Sen. Obama's supporters say loudly: Let's unite, turn the page and get on with the business of uniting the party and winning in November. That's our entire focus now. Not, on someone's feelings being hurt and licking wounds continuously to show victim mentality. Yes, we admire the good work Hillary has done in the senate. But, had her husband not behaved so badly she wouldn't be there. Had her name not been Clinton, she wouldn't be here. Let her not be a racist who discriminates because someone else's skin is black. Hillary, I know just know you're bigger than that. Or, are you! Show the world you have some class, but more importantly some guts! Get behind Sen. Obama and get your women supporters behind him as well and let's march towards making this country great. Remember, time waits for no one. THIS IS OUR MOMENT, AMERICA!

Hillary has been shown on (numerous) video tapes throughout the Democratic primaries, dissing Obama. The most prominent video was the one where she said herself and John McCain were more "qualified" to lead the nation and more experienced on national security matters.

If Obama puts Clinton on the ticket, the Republicans can thank the MSM and YouTube for all those video clips; basically using Clinton's and Obama's words against each other in McCain’s political advertisements, ending each political ad by saying "I'm (hahhaaa) John (hahahaa) McCain and I (hahhaaa, sorry I can't stop laughing) approve (hahhaa) approve this Message (hahahahahha ROLMAO)".

As for Obama's acceptance speech last night about Hillary's health care proposal, he may tap her in a new govt dept called Health Care for America. She may have a second opportunity to reform health care, a second bite at the apple, but the American voters and delegates spoke last night and basically saw the Democratic primaries by The Clintons for what it was, a power grab and clinging onto what remains of it.

Not everyone's vote was counted, just ask Florida and Michigan, this needs to get resolved at the National Convention, or McCain will get all of Clinton's supporters.

As a Democrat, I am following the lead of Harriet Christian in this matter... see this video:

Harriet is my hero for standing up to the Democratic Party.

To everyone who is a pro-clinton democrat contemplating voting for McCain or sitting out this election--will you PLEASE come to my house and apologize to my daughter when McBush places supreme court justices that overturn Roe V Wade?? Will you go to each and every family who will have lost a child fighting in a war we never should have started because McSame doesn't end this war?? Will you find every person who loses his or her house in the future because of the continued economic policies of McBushie?? PLEASE think carefully about acting on your miffed feelings and think, for god's sake THINK about the future you wish for your country.

Obama supporters, Stop blaming President Bush for all the problems we face and start putting some of the blame on congress. Also, have you ever thought that some of us democrats don't vote on party line only? I vote for the candidate that I think is the most qualified and trusted. Obama is not that candidate. I think he was not fairly nominated and was forced on the voters by the democratic delegates and the media. I think McCain is much more experienced as a leader and will more likely keep america safe. That is why he will get my vote.
