Not what she said, actually. She said that anybody who wants to be president must show that they "can cross the commander in chief threshold," referring specifically to that aspect of the presidency. She knew she *might* lose the nomination but was determined not to, obviously. She was making a case that she was more electable than Obama vs. McCain, given Obama's lack of experience. In other words: nominate me, and you'll have a Democratic president, because I can beat McCain. Nominate Obama, and you won't, because he can't.

Yeah, see, I'd suggest it's you who's living in an alternate reality. How you can see anything she has done or said as in any way contrary to the the commitment to getting a Democrat elected is quite unfathomable. > > (which > > is why she's stayed in the race as long as she could), she > > needs it in order to get anything done in the Senate, and > > to be reelected next term. > > It will be interesting to see what happens there.
