Looks like she's conceeding tomorrow

Newshour (Shields and Brooks) just said that Hillary's offer to take VP has ruled out the possibility because he cant feed the perception that he's weak.

An email she wrote to supporters apparently said she will extend her congratulations to Senator Obama and throw her support behind him on Saturday (US time). So looks like Sunday for us.

Pretty miserable tbh. It's locked in, there is no alternative. He won; by extension, she lost. There was nothing else for her to do but conceed yesterday, BUT DID SHE?!
But I admit that I love her machiavellian schemes. Juicing her popular vote lead to get 'R-e-s-p-e-c-t'

I have to agree with the first part of your comment there. The fact she may not be on the ticket as you said in one of your previous posts may leave open the opportunity in '12 if Obama stumbles, which he may very well do given his record and any other damaging associations that may come up.

For a possible run in 2012, it would look better if she was not on a losing ticket. However, if she was to run in 2012, age would probably be against her.

If Hillary is not the VP nominations who might it be? I heard names like Warner and Bayh thrown up, who were both Hillary supporters, from battleground states, who appeal to the blue collar folks Hillary did.

Well it's a bit constitutionally iffy to take Bill Clinton, but could be done

Politics is a cruel business for a woman's voicebox

Sometimes the voicebox is a disaster to begin with (a la Julia Gillard)

Im going to miss the way Hillary would always open her talks with a grating "Thaaank You Thaank you thaaank you".
Seared onto my brain.

Did anyone catch his speech at the Israeli lobby AIPAC?

He's no different to Hillary Clinton or John McCain.

He's a Liberal, but the select few liberals who win in America are the 'tough' liberals - like all the Kennedys. Both Clintons are convervative democrats, W is a compassionate conservative etc etc. THere is a need to walk both sides of the street.
Everyone knows that Obama is left leaning. Now he has to prove that he's not soft, like every other failed liberal democrat (Kerry for instance, rip).
All McCain has been doing is something similar - everyone knows that he's a liberal republican, so he has been out there emphasising how conservative he is since he started running.

0bama IS revolutionary.
