I sincerely believe that the "novelty factor" of the opposing campaign is wearing off.

Democrats will come around--they're already proving it. So proud of her today!

I am hoping Clinton nominates Obama for the SCOTUS the same day that she takes office.

after all these years at the helm of the country, having to deal with tremendous challenges while disparaged and obstructed at every point by the gop, I think he will want a break and enjoy his beautiful family.
I see him turning up like jimmy carter and have a huge impact worldwide post presidency.

He should just move to Hawaii, write books, give speeches, travel, golf and surf for the rest of his life. He's earned it.

Of course he deserves leisure. But the nation needs him--more than ever, now. And frankly, we need a black voice on the SCOTUS, since Thomas refuses to speak and certainly cares nothing for the plight of America's most abused minority.

Very few of us get to do what we *want*. But I suspect that if called to this duty, he will heed that call with dignity and gravitas and Michelle will support him 100%.

He constantly says "our work is not done" and he has had his sleeves rolled up for some time now. He is obviously not just doing it so that he can coast on his credentials for the rest of his days--he really cares.

I think it was the one with the female moderators?

Bernie's sponsored ads started taking a big hit about the finger wagging, and also the repetitive message and talking points. Until that debate, everything was all heavily pro Bernie on those ads.
