For all of those Hillary Supporters:
Remember Donna Brazile rolling her eyes at the DNC Meeting in D.C. when the Clinton supporters at the table were making their cases to not to punish Michigan and Florida when Hillary made the right choice to include them in the democratic process.
Remember Donna Brazile on CNN when she always rolled her eyes when she attached Hillary's style and did not defend her win in New Hampshire.
Remember Donna Brazile when she did not do her job and get Al Gore elected. I HOPE DONNA BRAZILE ENJOYED LOSING FLORIDA IN 200O BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN IN 2008.
For all those Hillary Supporters: It is your right to support who you want. If Obama has offended you by his treatment of Bill Clinton during the primaries and our candidate Hillary in the vetting proces, you vote for McCain or just stay home: IT IS YOUR RIGHT.
They can blame us for Obama losing in November because we did not come out in party unity....well he did not show our candidate respect then and now.
McCain will win and Hillary will be Presdient in 2012.
I blame Obama for losing and blame his arrogance for not picking her.
This is my right and the other Hillary supporters have their right too.....just like Donna Brazile had her right in all her "non partisian" decisions.
God Bless Hillary these next two months because it will be damn if she does, damn if she doesn't.
Ok Obama supporters, go ahead and make your pathetic case for why I need to support yet another loser our DNC Chair Howard Dean hand picked.
Look at my past diaries. Look at all the latest polls. Obama is losing ground or has lost the lead. John Kerry was polling better electoraly and nationally four years ago this week. Now, Obama has been hit as a hollywood star, as an elitist, and a snob. He is labeled out of touch with the middle class.
We all know who can save him. He needs to do what he can to win the White House. A BORING WHITE GUY will not save him. Only THE WOMAN can save him now.
He needs to put aside his arrogance, his snob appeal, and this elitist attitude.
He would be fortunate enought if she said yes.
Before you lash out at me...check out all the available websites:

And yes, your beloved DailyKos...Obama is turning into the new Dukakis and I will not forgive him if he loses this winnable election. He has lost what lead he had!
PUT ASIDE YOU PRIDE OBAMA:
OBAMA/CLINTON The Dream Team
"Why are the Clinton's doing this to Barack Obama?" "Why can't Bill just let it go?" "Can't Hillary control her followers?"
JOHN EDWARDS ADMITS TO HAVING AN AFFAIR
Now you tell me. Who is more committed to the party this presidential election? Who is more focused on Democrats winning this year. WHO IS THE MOST DETERMINED TO HAVE THIS BE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ELECTION IN 60 YEARS FOR THE DEMOCRATS. You can't blame Hillary...she is right on track.
This just reinforces the fact that her position on the ticket is needed and it is Edwards who is the distraction...now and until the election.
"You need to get over that Obama won!" You know what, everyone needs to step back and just think for on minute...who is the best fit now for the Democratic Party.
OBAMA/CLINTON 2008
"As a girl and then as a woman, Hillary has almost always been desperate to be a passionate participant and at the center of events: familial, generational, experiential, political, historical. Call it ambition, call it the desire to make the world a better place-she has been driven. Rarely has she stepped aside voluntarily into passivity"-Carl Berstein, A Woman In Charge
For all those who love politics, for all those who check the websites every hour to get that little bit of election news, and for all those wake up every morning wondering what will be next, this my friend will be the news. Whether or not Obama will pick Hillary Clinton to be Vice President of the United States.
She love this country, she is driven to better individuals lives, and the drive is there. Whether you want us to quick pushing us for her to serve as Vice President, please do not ignore the following and power that she has now.
Poll after poll, commentary after commentary, day after day, I see an emerging argument that Hllary is needed to help Obama against the predicted Republican Attack Machine. It is just getting warmed up and I am sure the best is yet to come against our Democratic Candidate for President.
Nancy Pelosi, David Gergen, George Stephanopolis, Donna Brazile (I know...shocking), and possibly now even Chuck Todd are swaying Hillary's way. The press wants Obama and now after a dreadful week for our candidate, the press no realizes that Hillary will only help him cross the finish line.
Shedules can be changed and the conventions, alliances can be formed for the good of the party, and wounds can heal. Do not count her out yet....this could be Hillary's New Hampshire all over again.
My thoughts lately have been that Obama is not going to pick my choice in the presidential primary. If this happens, I will probably not vote at all for the presidential race. But there are still signs today that Obama may have some sense and not forget the individual that tied with him in the primaries.
MSNBC is reporting that Obama met with a womens group today and spoke with Senator Clinton as well. The meeting was unknown and the length of the conversation is still to be found. Questions did come up about Clinton on the ticket.

WARNING: If Obama does not place Hillary on the ticket, I predict McCain's numbers will move up. Millions of people are supporting Obama on the presumption that he will pick her. If he does not, reality will slap us in the political face and are support for the Presumptive Democratic Nominee will begin to wane. He simply cannot ignore us. He has not prep us or prepared us for the decision not to place her on the ticket.
McCain's numbers will move and more "Toss Up" states will move to the red.
OBAMA/CLINTON 2008
Hillary Clinton for the Vice President of the United States.
Plain and simple. No arguements. No questions. The only choice.
Here is why:
1. At the end of the primary season, Obama received 51% of the pledged delegates. Hillary recieved 49% of the pledge delegates. This is the most competitive primary season in the history of the United States.
2. Counting the votes: However you want to manipulate the math, Clinton and Obama virtually tied in the amount of votes received during the primary.
3. Hillary is her own woman. Hillary does not need Bill anymore. She has became to the first woman to compete in a primary and actually shown that it can, and eventually will be done, by a woman.
4. Clinton now has a massive list of email contributors. She has established her own following, and they are just as devote to her as Obama's our to him.
5. Every state the borders the State of Ohio went to Clinton. This is very important to remember. She won states with those electoral votes that will reach the 270 mark.
6. Obama's fundraising is slowing.look at the last three months of Obama's fundraising. McCain had his best showing yet in June. Clinton's money machine has stopped and can be reactivated once chosen for the Vice Presidency. They will be motivated!
7. Hillary has shown, especially during the past presidential primary season, that she can take on the media. She will step up and defend President Obama.
8. The role of Vice Presidential Nominee during the campaign is attack dog. Who can best fit this role in defending the new policies of the presidential candidate and go after their opponent? Last time I reasearched this, the Clinton attack machine seems to be very effective.
9. She finished strong in the primaries. Obama could not seal the deal on the nomination until the last state voted. Nothing against our future President of the United States, but what does it say about our party when you go down to the last state and your opponent is still winning, and by impressive margins sometimes?
So, if you have a candidate who has virtually received the same number of pledged delegates as the presidential nominee, received the same amount of the popular vote as the presidential nominee, has her own history making title (as compared to the first African-American) of the first woman to compete for the presidency, has the same amount of online support and financial resources of the presidential nominee, and finally, has more electoral votes of the states won during the primary, what is one to assume Obama is going to do when he picks his Vice President?
Obama/Clinton 2008. That is what he will do.
I know this is a poor source, but Fox News and on Fox and Friends is reporting that a letter or a tape of Michelle Obama will be released with something so astonishing that it will change the election. Bob Beckel said the Republicans are prepared to release "something" tommorrow after Hillary suspends her campaign?
Does anybody, anybody know anything about this? I do not want the Democrats to be embarassed!!
If you know anything, please post.
American Research Group has released polls today for the great states of Montana and South Dakota.
South Dakota:
HRC: 60%
Obama: 34%
Montana: Closer than some may have thought
HRC: 44%
Obama: 48%
This may be the last hurrah for HRC and I hope she wins them both because I beleive John McCain will win the General Election against Obama.....unless Obama places HRC on the ticket as Vice President.
Thanks for representing us Hillary. You were great and again you have risen above the Media Attack Machine. You are the best and the best is yet to come...
