Stay in the senate, ready to become the Liberal Lioness of the Senate? Push for lib/prog legislation? Try to keep Obama from going too Repub Lite?

I don't see a cabinet seat as worth her giving up her senate seat, and I'm not sure about the Supreme Court. I'd sort of like to take the R's idea of finding very good, very liberal justices who are young enough to be around long after the president's term.  

For example - Bob Barr. Isn't he actually the first AA nominee for president, rather than Obama?

Or how about the other party candidates - Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, and Chuck Baldwin?

What about write-ins?

Pledged delegates stay pledged through the first ballot at the convention.

But the Clinton campaign has argued that pledged delegates can use their own discretion. This prompted outraged howls from Obama-supporters. Of course, two pledged delegates HAVE switched, from Clinton to Obama, and nary a peep was uttered by Obama-supporters.

So I don't think Hillary is going to be able to hold all of her pledged delegates, not when her party is essentially urging everyone to back Obama. She has almost no party support. It's amazing that she was able to finish out the primaries considering how much the deck has been stacked against her.

 (1) that Dean, Pelosi and Reid were going to "sternly demand" all SD to come on board
and do...(whatever) but sounded like pressing HRC.
(2) that  Obama seems not be interested in HC supporters
(3) Whoopi Goldberg was so so so out of bounds accusing HRC of not having "the country" and the "Party" interests first in her speech. She said she was "so pissed off" with her speech. It was horrible...And I though she supported HRC...

Ford - Reagan turnd out ugly for Ford.
Carter - Kennedy turned out ugly for Carter
Mondale - Jackson was worse than ugly.

I would give him credit for a campaign well run, except for a few small details. 1) he didn't do very well in the states we need to win most in the fall, and even sabotaged a few along the way 2) his campaign was the dirtiest, most divisive Democratic primary campaign in recent history. He has done to the Democratic Party what Karl Rove did to America.

If not, I have no idea why she would be on someone's VP selection team.  Is she "the woman's" point of view?

Maybe someone else can shed some light on that one for me.

As for what Hillary should or should not do, I think the best thing she could do, and the best way to gauge whether Obama will sink or swim, is to step back and allow him to be out there without her taking all the media heat.  In some respects, he has been sheltered from the full force of the political winds, and I think it would be helpful to see how he handles himself.

I think that in order for the media to allow her to get out of the glare she will have to suspend; I know that sounds dire, and the media will spin it as concession even if that isn't what it is - but, the advantage is that she has the breathing room she needs.

Right now as for the last several months, it seems like a kids' brawl where he and his people are trying to make her cry "uncle" -- trying to drive her to an unconditional surrender.

Not a good omen for Obama's negotiating skills as president--either domestically or abroad.

I don't see the "Dream Team" happening.

What other options do Hillary supporters have who don't want to vote for Obama but would just die before voting for McCain.

But I figure he needs to offer it to her, for appearance sake.

And she's on record saying she won't turn it down (again for appearance sake).

Which puts them both in awkward positions.

Cheney has proven beyond peradventure that the whole concept of the Vice Presidency is completely misbegotten, because it has no accountability whatsoever. No other major democracy has such an office, and goodness knows if the office were vacant the country would survive through the Presidential Succession Act.

As McCain engages BHO and if any other "scandal" or hiccup occurs, HRC can step in and lead the convention.

This is why McCain will win in a landslide.

Millions of women refuse to vote for Obama.  They will sit it out, write-in Hillary, or vote for McCain.

But, McCain has been lavishing praise on Hillary while the DNC/Obama gang has insulted her in every way you could think of - stealing her delegates, allowing Obama to steal caucuses, telling her to get out when she won the people's vote, etc.

McCain will have Carly Fiorina, the HP CEO, as his VP.  He wins CA and he wins the women's vote.

Obama cannot find a woman on this earth to replace Hillary. And, if he tries he will insult the millions of women voters EVEN MORE.

So, McCain wins by a landslide.  Undecided women will defininately vote for McCain now.  It may not be Hillary, but McCain has restored dignity back to the women who were so insulted, dishonored, and degraded by Obama, his followers, and the DNC.

And, of course, there's the American war hero against a two-faced, lying, corrupt, Chicago punk.

Hillary Clinton 17,673,329 (50.45%)

Barack Obama 17,355,652 (49.55%)

DO WE GO WITH LEGITIMATE VOTES AND DEMOCRACY, OR WITH

CORRUPT CAUCUSES AND DISPROPORTIONATE DELEGATES ?

PELOSI SAYS GO WITH THE WILL OF PEOPLE.

He's won when she decides he has won

Can someone give me one reason why she shouldn't have conceded last night? I mean what a better way to get on the ticket than showing Obama that you believe in him? What a better way to bring a party together than to show your supports how triumphant last night was for the democratic party.

As for Hillary, perhaps she can get out and stump for Congresspeople and those Senators up for re-election.  

It's not only one way of keeping herself in the Public Eye and PUBLICLY working to support the Party -- something she's promised repeatedly to do -- and hold or expand their leads in the House and Senate, but it's also a way of tacitly reminding people of her strength.

"John McCain on Wednesday proposed a series of debates and town hall forums with Barack Obama. These events would be in addition to the three presidential debates sanctioned by the Presidential Debate Commission.

Speaking at a town-hall meeting in Baton Rouge, La., McCain said the two major party presidential candidates should appear together so that Americans can get a good look at the differences in their policies.

"Leaders don't hide from history, they make history," McCain said. "I hope that Senator Obama will accept my invitation."

McCain later told reporters that he thinks Americans want "a new kind of discussion."

"I think they want a real chance to express their hopes and dreams and aspirations for the future and I think they'd like to hear directly from the candidates," he said.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe responded that he finds the idea of joint town halls "appealing and one that would allow a great conversation to take place about the need to change the direction of this country."

Clinton tells Obama privately she wants to stay in the Senate where she can do more good (IMO).

Obama makes it known that Clinton is number one on the VP short list.

Clinton thanks Obama for the respect/recognition, and declines laying out her case for championing policies in the Senate.
