You didnt get it.... (none / 0)

My comment was directed at you in sarcasm.  It is the height of arrogance to indulge in such postmortems on a campaign that

(a) will most likely win the popular vote &
(b) is not over yet!!

I suppose I could start writing diaries on what happened to the Obama campaign...how they could not translate all that cash advantage into more votes.  But I do not like indulging in silliness!!

Re: You didnt get it.... (none / 0)

I couldn't agree with you more.  The Clinton campaign was very powerful but had enough managerial problems to ultimately sink it.  She had a great run.

I am of two minds on this (none / 0)

on 1 hand, I do think we should ALL show respect to Hillary and the Importance and Historical meaning of her run, and let her finish it. she IS in the history books with this one.

but on the other hand yes we can see the end, yes we do know the winner and I resent HRC supporters telling me I have to play along with them because they aren't ready to let go

I don't mind them believing its not over, or that she will even win, I do resent this idea that the rest of the world has to play along or we are sexist.

Of course she should finish her run. Why not?  I have never called on her to drop out.

Re: I am of two minds on this (none / 0)

ofcourse no one is actually calling for her to drop out, they are all just trying to guess when it will happen.

No one is calling for her to drop out? Seriously?

Re: I am of two minds on this (none / 0)

I wouldn't say no one. Some have. But right now, that is distinctly a marginal point of view.

If they're aim was to win the pop vote (none / 0)

then that explains why they lost since it's a delegate race.

And it's over. One seriously sucky guy, Obama, came out of NOWHERE, and beat 2 Clintons.

Re: You didnt get it.... (none / 0)

Almost isn't good enough. And wishing that she comes out ahead in popular votes doesn not make it true, and since the popular vote can not be counted accurately, this metric doesn't mean squat.

Re: You didnt get it.... (none / 0)

but its based on facts that don't exist or rely on selective facts (ie counting votes that were never in a contest, ignoring caucus attendees).

She is losing by every measure.
