| I'd be fine with Clinton ending up in the VP slot, and I think it would be beneficial in as many ways as not. I don't like that she seems to be angling to demand that it be given to her. I was not an Obama supporter to begin with. I just didn't know much about the guy. What won me over to him is his graciousness, and lack of graciousness is what's turned me off of Clinton. What I'd most like to see is for Hillary to finally show some, and to show me that she's more concerned about the future of the country and the Democratic party than she is about her own sense of entitlement. I thought father Pfleger's tirade was inappropriate and obnoxious, but I don't think he was really all that far off the mark.
I'd like to see Hillary put the lie to that perception, and to do what a gracious second place finisher should do - step back, congratulate the winner, give him the freedom to create the ticket he wants, and to support it full force whether she's on it or not. If she doesn't do that, and the Dems end up losing in November, her career in politics is finished. If she does the right thing now she can run again and cast herself as a tenacious fighter who knows when to put the best interests of the nation above her own. |
