It was a BRILLIANT move to have Hillary be the post-game surrogate for Obama on the networks...

A. If McCain managed to get some Hillary supporters to peel away from Obama a little bit, she brought them right back into the fold before their doubts could creep in

B. It sent the message to the 8-10% of Democrats that aren't supporting Obama that the party IS united, and that Hillary is enthusiastically on board.

C. It was a classy move by Obama that subliminally shows the country that he CAN bring the country together. He is trusting his rival of 16 months to go on TV and advocate for him. That's an incredible show of strength on his part.


This campaign is so fucking brilliant, I just can't contain my glee. They make the EXACT RIGHT fucking move every time.


EVERY SINGLE TIME.

4. the magic CNN line...women not only flatline anytime Sarah comes up...
but they respond REALLY well to Obama.

i have never voted for a Clinton, and never thought i would.

20. She was on Fox, too...
so shoot me...I flipped over during a commercial break.

Whatshisname, the one with the father on 60 minutes, asked her "How are you?"


She started off by saying, "I'm great now that Barack is 0 for 3 in the debates."

It was cool.

10. Senator Clinton is a brilliant, dedicated, honest and true representation of the Democratic party.
It's nice to see DU finally appreciating this great woman.

11. I want to see Senate Majority Leader Hillary Clinton in January
She'll put some steel into Democratic backbones. Or else. Do you want to piss off HRC?

16. Do you think that she could become Assistant Majority Leader?
Granted, that would require Sen. Durbin to become Majority Leader. However, I think she would be good as Assistant Majority Leader.

18. I was quite impressed with Sen. Clinton
She kept on message about Obama and dismissed just about everything said about herself. I was pleasantly surprised at how well she did on CNN.
