Why do you feel the need to justify victory by taking dental tools to Hillary’s concession speech?

Did you even bother to read the post you’re replying to? This is a response to Hillary’s speech on Tuesday night, in which she continued to imply that Obama’s victory was of questionable legitimacy, not her Saturday speech in which she finally acknowledged that she won’t be the nominee.

If the past is any indication, you’ll spend the next five months documenting all the ways Hillary continues to sabotage Obama’s efforts

Did you even bother to read the post I wrote after this one? Y’know, the one in which I strongly criticize John McCain?

I remain confounded by the inability of Obama supporters to express their support for him in terms other than hatred of Hillary Clinton.

Your man won. Enjoy it. Be gracious in victory and move on to the next opponent. Why do you feel the need to justify victory by taking dental tools to Hillary’s concession speech? She very clearly isn’t the great divider you claimed she was, so maybe that’s what really pisses you off more than anything – being wrong about her. If the past is any indication, you’ll spend the next five months documenting all the ways Hillary continues to sabotage Obama’s efforts, meanwhile John McCain will coast into the White House behind your back. Then you’ll spend the next four years claiming that if Hillary had only conceded after Iowa, Obama would’ve been president.

I will say that you can’t be for sure that her fans are too lockstep with her, though. She doesn’t do much good by riling them up, but plenty of us can make up our own minds here. I think she’s driven by ego, but then again, I think Obama’s driven by ego too–he’s just been sly about hiding that. There’s nothing WRONG with this. It pisses people off, especially the educated and enlightened because we know, theoretically, that it’s so repulsive. But you have to be pretty egotistical to want to be the president of the US.

It’s been an ugly primary season, and not just because of the candidates. Supporters on both sides have behaved reprehensibly, and people must set aside their agendas and focus on what’s best for the country. Let’s hope we can all do that.

So, the popular vote argument isn’t just irrelevant, it’s also complete bullshit.

Her media attention oxygen is about to disappear, and Obama will have the stage to reconcile with those 18 million voters, and he has two months to decide what he wants to do about the VP selection. Trial balloons, polls, and positions should provide him with the path to bring them towards him WITHOUT her help, and that just leaves her on the outside looking in. She should realize that whoever Obama picks as VP will have the inside track as the nominee whenever Obama is done running for President. She basically bluffed a position she can’t hold, and if I can see that, so can Obama’s folks. She screwed herself pretty badly last night.
