I can understand "having no sympathy" for him (oceanstar17, and others responding to Scott McClellan "Meet The Press" Interview - Videos, Comments).

Since May, 2004, I've been a student of the "Ridhwan School," which is also known as the "Diamond Approach to the Enneagram." A fundamental commitment of the school is "love of the truth for its own sake." As I see comments about McClellan's book and as I notice how hard it is for me to love the truth for its own sake,

"best prepared" to be president argument. HRC's pop vote argument is an extension of "something-big-can-happen"-to-Obama argument. If she believes she's best prepared, that's all she needs to say, all she should say. Saying that she stays in the race bc "something-can-happen" means that she accepts coming in second, if the front-runner has to drop out. At some level, I think, she understands that she's not the best prepared, and that's OK, as long as she gets the nomination.

Does Hillary's "something-big-can-happen" argument undercut her "I'm-best-prepared" argument?

Would it be a good idea for the Dem Party to start a GE phase of the election after June 3?

The impatient part of me and the intolerant part of me (they may be different parts) want this thing over, and over now! So I agree with the feelings and sentiments that I think I see in VALHALLA's diary and the posted responses. That diary is called, "Should Obama play hardball with Clinton: Drop out now or no cabinet position?"

I want to scream every time I hear what I consider misrepresentations or worse from Hillary or her surrogates. I cringe when I hear Barack go off into the stratosphere or start explaining things about other people that he has no place explaining. We all know about bitterness.

Olberman pointed out that Civil War battles occurred after Appomattox. That means,

SarcasticIntellectual asked toward the end of a very interesting diary entry what was keeping the supers from speaking up and ending this thing. I thought of Olberman's comment this week that if Obama had said something (I don't remember what it was) like what Clinton or her campaign had said,

Now that we've delved pretty far into Obama's gaffe in San Francisco and his problems with Rev. Wright, we can ask how they stack up next to recent statements of Hillary. Let's just take two:
