Hillary just wave goodbye....
Dear Hillary i thought you were a classy woman able to keep on topic but as you have shown so much in these past few months you have disgraced your party more and more. Every time i think you have no more dirty tricks you continue to amaze me. Exactly one week ago you went as low as anybody has every been with your comments in the USA today interview. In it you once again reiterate that because of your broad appeal with white working class voters your a better candidate than Obama. These remarks is an insult to the African American voters that have done so much for the Clintons over the years. She is painting a disgracefully picture that the only reason Obama cant win is because he is black. That kinda tactics belongs to the 40's not in 2008. She hasnt even had the remarks denounced or have her advisor's apologize for them. Her desperate nature is becoming more and more apparent and she is going dirtier and dirtier. You could say that she is going out with a bang.

YES WE COULD!!!! (...and how that other candidate failed)
What at once looked like a sprint and a let's get this over with and get back to the white house campaign for one Hillary Rotham Clinton turned into the Boston and New York Marathon in one. And now the American public has spoken we want the first black president in American history. And i couldn't be happier for Barack Obama. Even tho Clinton hasn't pulled out yet it's no longer metamathematical possible for her to win. Looking back at this debacle two things spring to mind. One the lenght at which these two battled it out. And secondly the way if one went down soon thereafter the candidate would be back on track. But instead of looking to the future i think we need to take time and look back because how can it be that a woman from one of the most powerful families in the democratic party can lose to a nobody from Chicago? Did it go wrong when she in October of 2007 told potential fund raisers that when "she was in the white house" hereby claiming that winning was a forgone conclusion? or was it when she started her nasty rethoric towards Obama? thereby exposing that she was on the defensive and trying everything to win. Was it when her husband former president Bill Clinton suggested that winning south Carolina was just a token gesture to a black man? In my opinion none of the above is the answer. The key to all this is former FEMALE democratic vice presidential candidate and finance director for the Clinton campaign Geraldine Ferraro and her March 7th interview with the small Californian paper the Daily breeze. You don't remember? It's ok let me refresh your mind. She had momentum at this point after losing 12 straight she takes 3 of four on Super Tuesday 1½. She was in drivers seat Obama was against the wall all the political pundits called him out saying he couldn't win the big states that his lack of working class voters were troubling. Then on the eve of the Wyoming primary the infamous interview went down. In the interview Ferraro said the following: "I think what America feels about a woman becoming president takes a very secondary place to Obama's campaign — to a kind of campaign that it would be hard for anyone to run against. For one thing, you have the press, which has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign. If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.". WOOPS. Comments like that should lead to the direct firing and a denouncement of them. The only problem that never happened all Clinton did was say the comments were regrettable and then think it would go away. It wasn't until Keith Olberman on his show on MSNBC made one of his rare special comments on how this was being mishandled that Ferraro took her resignation. But in my opinion it was too late the shift had happened Clinton went from media darling to the easiest target since Nixon and Watergate. From there it just went downhill for her we had the Bosnia incident, the finnance problems and the constant negative press over her "let's throw the kitchen sink at Obama and see what happens" tactics. So it's with great joy i say Good Night and Good Luck to Hillary Clintons campaign.
