Billary (the Clintons) have always believed that they’re very different than the rest of us. Over their more than 30 years in politics together, they’ve learned one important and consistent lesson: that rules don’t matter. Rules don’t apply to them. Rules are for other people. Rules can be bent, changed, manipulated.
So it’s particularly ironic that they are now turning to the Democratic Party Rules Committee to try and steal the presidential nomination that Hillary has already definitively lost to Barack Obama in the popular vote, the delegate count, and the total number of states, yet she harps on about she is more electable. Coming from a Yale graduate and a Lawyer, it is ironic indeed that electable in not even a correct English word
Under the guise of justice and fair play, Hillary Clinton is, in effect, asking the Rules Committee to rule that the party’s rules should be ignored — the same rules that the Rules Committee enacted and that Hillary and all of the other democrats supported without dissent. But that was then and now is now.
Hillary and her husband both believe that she is entitled to the nomination, entitled to the presidency. So they’re waiting for the inevitable signal that it will, in fact, be hers.
According to the Clintons, the nomination should be hers. She’s earned it. She’s ready. She wants it. She and Bill are sure that she’d be a great candidate. If that’s the way things go then any body can claim to be ready to rule the world, but the questions is; does the world to be ruled by her, I don’t think so.
She is continuing her race because she wants to have a platform from which she can continue to bash Sen. Barack Obama so that he will not be able win the general election in November 2008. McCain wins it in 2008 and she will get the nomination in 2012 when McCain would be 76 years old and probably not fit enough to face the wrath of a woman once scorned by her electorate.

Hillary is using race, fearing white, blue-collar with an Ivy League graduated foreign sounding named Barack Obama so that he does not win elections. I fail to understand why she is so hell bent on proving to the world that she has balls. People with balls have been running the world for quite sometime and made a basket case out of it. It’s about time that a woman runs a campaign and wins it purely on the basis of lack of balls and bravado and presence of intellect, intuition and skill.

exactly,
a woman who has been privy to the power corridors of washington for the past 16 years and before that she was the wife of a US governer and and Wellesley graduate who studied there with daddy's money is the queen of blue collar workers!

Tazeen,

isn't it funny that the "blue collar" candidate has enough money that she has poured in 12 million of her own funds into her campaign?

I mean compare that to the Obama $350K a year salary...

sometimes, people are sure taken in by smoke and mirrors...or is that the case most of the time?
