Hillary Has Me Really Depressed
I started the year out thinking that this year was going to be a big year for Dem's, even bigger than '06. We were going to win some more Senate seats and maybe pick up a few more in the house and finally get back into the White House....then Hillary went bat shit crazy!

She really has me down, I am honestly afraid she will take this to the convention leaving Obama unable to campaign effectively against McCain...thus we end up with 4 more years of Bush. At first I thought, ok I am just being crazy. Then I read on Yahoo where she will take this to the convention if she is not satisfied with Saturday's RBC's vote. And now I see how everything she has said or done has been to assure herself that it goes to Denver and in the end she screws over the party and then sits back and waits to run in 2012.

I am to the point where I don't want to follow this shit anymore, my fiance is pissed at her (she voted for her in Ohio's primary but has since said that she would not vote for her in the GE if she steals it from Obama), my parents hate her (and they loved Bill) and the Republicans love her! Just when I thought we were going to actually put together a winning team, just when I thought the nightmare of the past 8 years was coming to and end, Hillary goes and spouts out some shit about going to the convention and ruining it for everyone but her 27%.

Am I being too negative? Will this actually end before Denver? Please, someone tell me I am wrong?

1. She can do whatever she wants, but she doesn't write the rules
After Tuesday, Obama will have the support of the majority of Democrats, and he can begin campaigning full force against McCain.

3. She'll do the right thing next week.
Chin up! Look at what McCain is doing lately. That should make any Dem happy.

5. You are wrong
After Tuesday both sides will make their last pushes to the supers and enough of them will then decide to end this thing. It will be done in less than a week.

8. No, you are not wrong....I am "frustrated" with

her. I am an Independent who is throwing my support to Obama and this party but the longer they don't get their act together and allow her to denigrate the party, the more I have to stop myself from thinking that it may not be worth it. I surely don't want to vote for McShame, but keep telling myself that if she doesn't just bow out gracefully, that I will write in Obama's name if she is the nominee by stealing it like she is trying to do. I will vote for her if she is on as VP, but I surely won't trust her....and, no way will I vote for her in 2012.

And, I'm even beginning to hate the feminists (and I am a woman) simply for thinking we owe it to them. Maybe there IS some truth in that new pastor video.....

9. Hillary throws a temper tantrum, and accuses everyone of sexism.
She's completely pathetic.

10. My mother said something similar
ultimately what my mother said was that she was giving women everywhere a bad image because she is acting the way men portray them, or something to that affect.

11. Obama will eventually win, he needs to campaign in the summer & he needs funds and volunteers
We are all in this together and we need to get the White house BACK..... Mark my words, he will campaign and he will work hard for all the votes.... keep your chin up, she may not be out, be neither are we, and we will win the primary, and we will win the general.

You have to volunteer to Get out the Vote, donate what time and money you have, and we will have a winner.

13. No need to despair.
Here's how I look at it: Obama handily outperformed a well-funded, deeply entrenched and ruthless political machine. Eventually the Clintons will give way to McCain, a less insidious opponent, and eventually, he too will be road kill. Judging by the savoir faire shown by Obama and his campaign, it won't be long.

14. I'm bummed, too.
January was so exciting, February was even more thrilling... and then she pretty much started raining on our parade.

But it's not a parade, it's a charade. I think tomorrow changes the game and ends the ambiguity about MI/FL that has been the clinging grace of her campaign.

We'll see... but yes, I'm bummed out about it. I understand your disillusionment completely, and I certainly expected more from the Clintons than what we've received.

16. I've been done with that heifer.
I will never vote for her because I see her as being no better than a low down Rethuglican. No better. I just don't see it. She has used the most vile and disgusting tactics and has SIDED with the Rethuglicans ONE TOO MANY TIMES.
