I wrote about Hillary supporter Debra Bartoshevich back in June when she decided to break from her party and support McCain instead. So what made her so special? Well, she was as an elected delegate to the Democratic National Convention at the time. Understandably, she was quickly booted. Now she has popped up in a [...]

As I’ve said frequently in the past year, Clinton and her team was not up to the task of running the country. Disagree with me if you like, but as numerous behind-the-scenes exposes come out that show just how dysfunctional the campaign was, Democrats everywhere should breathe a sigh of relief that they secured Obama [...]

Are you a Hillary supporter who’s furious that Obama picked an old white guy for his Veep instead of the former First Lady? Then this ad is for you… On one hand it can be seen as a shrewd move aimed at the independent female voter or “security moms” who considered Hillary to be their [...]

The title of the article is “Hillary gets stiffed,” but who’s really getting stiffed here? Hillary or the readers of Politico? See, they “report” that an unnamed Democratic insider claims that Clinton was never asked for one single piece of paper from the VP vetting team. Therefore, it’s assumed she was never on Obama’s short [...]

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have come to an agreement that Clinton’s name will be placed in nomination at the Democratic National Convention. The two senators released a joint statement saying the move is a symbolic recognition of Clinton’s historic campaign and is intended to unite the party. Sounds like a vanity play on Clinton’s [...]

The Barack Obama / Hillary Clinton tensions do not seem to be lessoning. Amongst the just released memos is a particularly harsh anti-Obama memo written by Clinton’s chief strategist Mark Penn in March of 2007. Penn’s memo outlines why Obama shouldn’t be considered a potential contender for the American presidency: “All of these articles about [...]

You can find them here. I’m not going to have time to wade through all of them, but Ambinder has taken a look and shares some of what’s contained within this treasure trove… ** The battle for strategic supremacy and chaos in the campaign ** Mark Penn and the rest of the staff debating gender, [...]

Hillary Clinton’s former communication director, Howard Wolfson, is claiming that the media’s failure to uncover/disclose John Edwards’ affair cost Clinton the nomination. In Wolfson’s thinking, if Edwards had dropped out before Iowa, Clinton would have won that state and then cruised to the nomination. Man, those Clinton supporters are bitter, aren’t they? Obama put up [...]

I wonder what Iowans would think about this? From Chicago Tribune… PITTSBURGH – Hillary Rodham Clinton loyalists tried Saturday to kill off the caucus system that proved so damaging to her presidential bid, but were beaten back by a Democratic Party leadership firmly under the command of Barack Obama. Democrats who supported Clinton’s candidacy pushed [...]

More evidence of what many suspected a Hillary presidency would bring with it: Bill Clinton 2.0. This extremely revealing little factoid is buried in a story from Politico about the upcoming story from The Atlantic that details hundreds of memos that were leaked to reporter Joshua Green… The famous 3 a.m. ad, written by Penn [...]

The Atlantic will tell us how it all went wrong. From The Trail… Just when you thought everyone had moved on… former advisers to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton are in a tizzy over an upcoming piece in the Atlantic Monthly that chronicles the inner workings of the now-defunct campaign. Of particular concern are nearly 200 [...]

For those who miss those halcyon days when Hillary Clinton was impeding Barack Obama’s journey to the White House – the drama may not be over yet. In a move that should surprise no one who’s followed the uninhibited ambition of the Clintons, Hillary Clinton has been caught telling a California reception that she thinks [...]

Well, looks like the Obama and Clinton camps have settled on a spot for her to talk on August 26th From CNN: Two sources close to Clinton said the former presidential candidate will speak August 26 with all female U.S. senators on stage with her. “Tuesday night is Hillary night,” said one supporter. The significance? [...]

The more and more I think about it, the more sense it makes for former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina to be McCain’s Veep. She’s like a female Mitt Romney, but without the religious baggage or fake veneer. Maybe that’s why he’s having her meet with former “Hillraisers”… Amy Siskind, a former Wall Street executive who [...]

Hillary Clinton may have endorsed Barack Obama, but winning over her supporters may prove more difficult for Obama than many people thought. A new CNN survey shows that the number of Clinton supporters who plan to vote for Obama has actually decreased since early June from 60% to 54%. Furthermore, 43% of Democrats now say [...]

It seems like. First her speech…which was gracious, kind and exactly what Obama needed… Then his speech…which was deferential, magnanimous and exactly what Hillary needed… So what now? The negotiations of course! No doubt he’s going to help her try and retire some of the debt she still has. Word is she’ll eat the money [...]

More evidence that the Dem base is starting to solidify? (NOTE: Graphs fixed. Sorry for any confusion.) Gallup provides additional perspective when you compare this to Hillary’s head-to-head numbers before she dropped out… While campaigning for president, Clinton demonstrated an especially strong appeal to women. She led McCain by 52% to 40% in her final [...]

MTP puts together some clips and makes the strongest case yet for why Hillary shouldn’t get the VP slot…and it has little to do with her own skills. Can anybody seriously imagine Obama picking Hill and Bill just staying silent and not coming out on the trail? I think it’s possible, but highly, highly unlikely. [...]

Basically, she couldn’t hold off her fellow Democrats any longer. Now then…what’s the next chapter?
