What a bunch of bull and talk about setting back women. These diehard supporters have acted like this is a love affair as opposed to a political election.
The only thing Hillary wants to prove is that she was this close to winning the election. She and her husband are trying to hold on to power. This is not about the country. I hope the Obama camp shuts them down or gives them a room to party in. Alone. That way they can feel all the catharsis they want. Of course, Obama won't do that.
His camp will come up with some sort of compromise but don't think that this will lead to "catharsis" or the backing of Obama.
These folks have made it clear, they're never voting for Obama. Most of Hillary's supporters already support Obama. Even Gloria Steinem has moved on. She moved on by June. It's just a vocal minority who just can't let go. Hillary has only egged them on by talking out of both sides of her mouth. This isn't about sexism.
Want a sampling of who these people are? Visit this link and click on some of the websites. You'll see plenty of anti-Obama sites. despicable ones. Hillary should've denounced these folks, not coddle them. I suppose it's a much needed ego stroke, though.
If Obama wins this election, it will be a truly remarkable feat, giving that he has to negotiate with the Clintons and placate the democrats, while battling McCain and the republicans. A two-front assault.
Here's Obama's response to catharsis:
AP Obama told reporters Thursday he thought the negotiations with Clinton aides had gone "seamlessly," but he also rejected the notion that there might be a need for emotional release on the part of some Democrats.
"I don't think we're looking for catharsis," said Obama. "I think what we're looking for is energy and excitement."
PUMAs still think they're "18 million voices." Here's the PUMA leader, who says he still sees a path to victory for Hillary.
