Classy, as always.

Incredible, Jonathan?  

Only to the ingenuous who have been unable to figure her out until just now.  There have been any number of posters here who correctly predicted this behavior from Hillary.  How?  It wasn't magic.  All you had to do was to assume that her political behavior since she came to the Senate, and certainly her political behavior during the campaign, meant exactly what it appeared to mean -- this woman has no loyalty to the Democratic party or its mission.  We are merely the tool, the vehicle, for her ambition.

I hope the result of this is mass desertion by her supporters.  It is long past time.

Agreed, agreed, agreed!  I sat here amazed at the small mindedness of her speech.  What can she imagine she can ever now say that will buy her forgiveness for this pathetic exercise of blind egoism.  Who can possible cheer for her other than democrats who wish for self destruction?

Disgraceful. Classless. Totally unsurprising.

You people at TNR are so vicious towards Hillary I am about to cancel my subscription to this magazine. Get a life.

goodbye nikki.

Nikkiwhite: Suit yourself. But I don't think any publications out there live in Hillary's alternative universe. She lost in their universes, too. And she's classless in their universes, too.

Where's Michelle Cottle?  Still fell 'Hil' got a raw deal?

Jonathan, anybody on her staff who cares about their country over their party has a moral obligation to publicly quit and endorse McCain.

Obama is an unknown quantity at best.  It is yet another outrage by the Democratic party that they are offering him up as a choice for the presidency of the United States.

Hillary and Obama are both slated to be speaking at the final session of AIPAC's annual policy conference

Obviously, chan, you know that Obama is going to win in November.  Otherwise you wouldn't be so upset and eager for Hillary to keep trying to take him down even after she has definitively lost.

I quite agree with you.  Obama is going to win.  McCain has his foot in his mouth every other minute and the pressure isn't even really on yet.

"It is yet another outrage by the Democratic party that they are offering him up as a choice for the presidency of the United States."

Why an outrage?  That seems a little, well, daft.  He's done well in the primaries and caucuses, and seems generally like an intelligent and imaginative guy, with a story that means something to younger Americans especially.  He seems remarkably free of the kind of wretched squirming and pandering that marks so much political life these days.

Chan, come back to us when your party hasn't recently nominated George W. Bush for the presidency. Then you can lecture us about nominating an untested newbie for the presidency.

For what it's worth, Lincoln and FDR had less experience in office when they became president than Obama does now. So did George W. Bush. Grover Cleveland, a good president (well, Cleveland 22, not so much Cleveland 24), had less experience than Obama.

Herbert Hoover and James Buchanan, along with Richard Nixon, among several other examples of failed presidents, came to the presidency with significant records of public experience, among the most of our 43 chief executives.

So aside from the risible silliness of any conservative calling the other party out on the experience issue so soon after nominating Dubya instead of John McCain, there's the plain fact that experience has nothing to do with the quality of a president.

Really, if "he hasn't been in Washington long enough" is the best the GOP can do against Obama, then y'all have come a long way since Reagan, and not in a good direction.
