  •  Come on, Obama is the nominee (1+ / 0-)

    Even Russert admitted it.  Obama is the nominee.  Hillary is just waiting in the wings in case something unknown comes out about Obama.  She is acting like a standby in a play.  Hillary's campaign is just a facade.  They are putting up a good front, but Obama has the numbers. The anti-war movement is too strong to support Hillary as the candidate.  She just does not have the votes.   We need to concentrate on beating McCain.

    •  If she would just shut up (0+ / 0-)

      All that sounds good but while she keeps going on TV and saying that many of her supporters will not vote for Obama, despite her efforts to the contrary, she is doing her best to ensure a McCain victory.

        for a total of $11.5M, the talking heads say she released this fact early so she could attract more money from contributors. It seems to me admitting the fundraising is not going so well is another wheel coming off the bus.

        BTW McCain has a fundraiser with a $100,000 plate dinner (if I understood the newsreport) which should net him about $7M in one fell swoop.

        Kind of hard to be Joe Sixpack when people will pony up $100K for a plate of rubber chicken and soggy salad just to hear you drop pearls of wisdom before them.
