		<description>&quot;So the best any of us can hope for, due to stupid and harmful decisions made by the DNC putting a weak and fragile candidate up for the cause of &quot;making history&quot; vs a strong and viable candidate sure to win for the cause of &quot;winning&quot;&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sil,&lt;br&gt;Gotta completely disagree with you there.  I am a pure independent.  I have voted both Republican and Democrat in state, local, and national elections.  There was absolutely no way I would vote for Clinton.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was a McCain fan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am voting for Obama absent something really surprising coming out in the debates.  I think he is a uniquely gifted public servant, although his lack of experience does give me pause.  What I like is his coolness under fire, especially compared to McCain who was a hot head.  I like his ability to pull a divergent team together cohesively, especially compared to the complete insanity that was the Clinton campaign.</description>

		<description>He isn&#039;t always selfish- he&#039;s done a lot with his foundation, and put his party first in &#039;06, when he showed Democrats they had to fight back to win. Plus, he does seem to care a lot about his family. But, his personal behavior is abominable.</description>

		<description>I think the Clintons are in a box and they have to be careful however they go.&lt;br&gt;They desperately want to be elected and live in the White House again.  But, they also are very aware of the precarious situation our country is in.  Clinton was president and defender of caretaker of the country for 8 years.  Seeing the situation our country is in and how bad things are, he also know with McCain, he will be controlled by Bushies and will carry those policies out.&lt;br&gt;he is very aware of the need to make sure a democrat, even if not his wife and maybe even derailing their ultimate asperations, is the most important and necessary thing that can be done for the country.&lt;br&gt;As selfish and self absorbed as Bill is, he knows how ignorant so many voters are and have been manipulated for 30 years to believe the silliness the republicans peddle to the gullible masses.&lt;br&gt;I think he has no choice but, to choose country and help Obama</description>

		<description>Sil- there was plenty of rancor  and bitterness in both camps. I think you are forgetting that Obama brought a lot of new voters --- college kids and blacks to the table (the ones who were contributing online and going to his My Space page).  As much as they wouldn&#039;t have wanted McCain, they would have seen Clinton&#039;s annointment as undemocratic. They feel as passionately about their candidate as the Clinton people did-- and believed Clinton would be perpetuating more of the Bush/Clinton dynasty. IMO, they didn&#039;t think she represented the future-- but the past.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I liked her too, but really was turned off by hearing again about her husband&#039;s antics (who I actually thought was a decent president outside of his personal behavior)</description>

		<description>&quot;Sil- Obama supporters wouldn&#039;t have had to vote GOP- all they would have had to do was stay home&quot;~ kritt&lt;br&gt;*******&lt;br&gt;No, there&#039;s one thing they hate more than Hillary (assuming they hated her....not the impression I got with most who voted for Obama...just narrowly beating out Hillary in their mind for &quot;their candidate&quot;.).  They hate the idea of 8 more years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We could&#039;ve taken that one to the bank instead of the scenario we&#039;re facing now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Again, poor strategy.  Obama is not and will never be another Martin Luther King Jr.&lt;br&gt;That was just fantasy voting.  And again, what comes of that collosal immaturity will have to be owned by its promoters.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t see this as a Scylla and Charybdis dilemma for the Clintons. Campaigning all out on the issues is the best thing they can do for party, country, Obama, AND Hilary&#039;s chances in 2012. Going &quot;after Palin&quot; in what might be perceived a sexist fashion might indeed hurt Hilary four years from now, but it&#039;s not going to help Obama now either. Granted, there&#039;s sometimes a tough line to be drawn between being too negative and making a fair point about what is, after all, the need to choose the best people, not just or even mostly, the best policies (we can&#039;t be sure what the issues will be three years from now). But I don&#039;t think the judgment where to draw that line really differs depending on whether your perspective is what&#039;s best for party as opposed to what&#039;s best for Hilary.</description>

		<description>Patrick E: &lt;i&gt;I have always wondered how much they really helped Kerry in 2004.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well, there was the little matter of Bill&#039;s quadruple bypass. That kinda put the kibosh on Kerry. Personally, I think that to the extent the Clinton&#039;s aren&#039;t seen as helping Obama to the best of their ability (and Obama loses), Hillary is toast in the future. And I think they realize that. I mean think about it: if the Clintons are perceived as coming up short on that score, Obama supporters are not likely to look very kindly on her come 2012. Also, she would no longer be looked on as &quot;inevitable&quot;, like she was this time around. And that would certainly open up the field. Names that come immediately to my mind are Kathleen Sebelius, Claire McCaskill, Mark Warner, and Sheldon Whitehouse. The Dems have a bunch of pretty formidable up-and-comers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s possible the Clintons won&#039;t be able to get their mojo working for Obama. But if they fail in that, my guess is Hillary&#039;s toast as far as her presidential aspirations are concerned.</description>

		<description>Sil- Obama supporters wouldn&#039;t have had to vote GOP- all they would have had to do was stay home. Also, the party was split neatly in half, and there was already a lot of resentment against the Clintons and their role in the 2000 loss within the party,.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Democrats picked Obama fair and square, and if they don&#039;t want to lose yet another election they need to get behind their ticket. If they voted on issues they would realize that Sarah Palin is no more like Hillary Clinton than Obama is like Alan Keyes. Just because Palin is a woman doesn&#039;t mean she would be good for women- especially the working class women who supported Clinton.</description>

		<description>Silhouette : &quot;On the one hand they know, instinctively, that Obama is not up to the job.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So you can read the minds of the Clintons now??? There is no reason to believe there is any truth to your comment. Looks like just more (how much is left?) residual bitterness about your candidate losing the primary. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While the Clintons may be somewhat conflicted, they are also smart enough to know they have much more to gain by seeing a democrat victory this November than a defeat.</description>
