Personally, I think that the most appropriate response to this attempt to shift the blame for her fuckup to someone else -- anyone else -- would be to take what she says here literally and call her bluff.
That is, all of the remaining uncommitted superdelegates should declare their support for Obama, first thing tomorrow morning. That would shut her up. She wouldn't be able to say a damned thing, having claimed that her goal was to "unite the Democratic party." What, after all, would unite it faster? And the best part would be that she would then *have* to go out and campaign big-time for Obama, the way she has just claimed she would. Watching the look on her face as she did this would be like watching her having to chow down a big plate full of shit, smiling at the cameras as she chews. It's the perfect solution. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Marek Reavis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > New York Daily News, May 25, 2008 > > This past Friday, during a meeting with a newspaper editorial board, > I was asked about whether I was going to continue in the > presidential race. > > I made clear that I was - and that I thought the urgency to end the > 2008 primary process was unprecedented.
