Hillary Clinton must put beliefs before ambition - UK Telegraph
Edited on Wed Apr-02-08 06:49 AM by rndmprsn
...how our friends across the pond see this thing, interesting, even they know clinton is not going to be the nominee nor the president.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/04/02/do0203.xml

The Clintons are famous for comebacks, and we may yet see another one, but in Pennsylvania this week she has begun to look like a person too compromised to hold the highest office. It never does to look too desperate, and Hillary has proved she will say anything to get on the right side of voters, which has given her campaign a new gleam of inauthenticity...

...Credibility has been slipping away from Hillary of late as she stumbles from exaggeration to gaffe to blunder to downright lie - a bumpy set of stations on a road leading not to the White House but, more likely, to Calvary...

..."She's got to stop thinking about herself,"
said one of the young bloggers I spoke to. "The election is just too important and she can't surely want to risk the election just to prove a point to herself and her husband?"...

...The fact is that every other person you speak to in this country just now feels that Hillary should call it a day. She got it wrong when she supported Iraq, and the progressive drift is moving against her. From here on in, her efforts will only help McCain, a man who believes it might be worth keeping troops in the Middle East for a hundred years.

1. The UK is dead to me
It's pretty sad when other Countries see it for what it is.

4. How true. They don't have a dog in this fight and can clearly see the damage she's causing.
Too bad she and her supporters can't/won't admit this.

2. The Telegraph is a Conservative paper, just so you know...
the 'Torygraph', it's sometimes called.

5. Sorry, Brits, selfishness is a core American value
And, principles? Talk about your Old World thinking. She's in it to win it, don't you know.
