Flashback: Last Brownstone Standing
Like the last party guest who lingers long after her welcome and leaves the hosts feeling a little awkward and anxious for her departure, Hillary Clinton finally conceded that she is not going to get the nomination of the Democratic Party in the 2008 Presidential election. In a fairly upbeat address at the National Buildings Museum in Washington, DC, Clinton pledged to work to unite Democrats after a long and bitter campaign.
Senators Clinton and Obama met secretly yesterday at the DC home of Sen. Dianne Feinstein to mend fences and discuss what Clinton's role will be for the duration of the election. Many Clinton supporters have become extremely alienated from the Obama camp in the Democratic Party. In today's address, Clinton "suspended" her campaign, fully endorsed Obama, and said that everyone who has worked to support her, should work to make him the next President of the United States. The mantra of the speech, repeated countless times, was "That is why we must work to elect Barack Obama our President!"
One of the things that may have been discussed at Feinstein's house is the possibility that Clinton will urge her supporters to back Obama in the race against Sen. John McCain. In return, Obama's campaign organization may help Clinton pay off her approximately $20 million in outstanding campaign debts, millions of which are payable to the Clintons themselves.

"And that is why we have to elect Barack Obama president!"
It looks like everything is going as planned for the Republicans...
"Every moment wasted looking back, keeps us from moving forward."
It was a pretty good speech by Hillary.
Looks like Hillary's out of luck. Obama's probably going to pick another white guy to be his running mate, according to news reports, so an even more historic black + woman ticket won't happen this time.
I don't know why your so down on Hillary for staying in the race for so long. This is a once in an lifetime opportunity for her. So it made sense for her to fight to the end. And Obama isn't that great.
"Every moment wasted looking back, keeps us from moving forward."
Then it's really a shame you spent so much time looking back, isn't it?
Bye, bye BILLARY Clinton. Don't let the door hit you in the rear end as you exit the political stage -- hopefully FOREVER!

... Obama could still choose a woman as his VP.
"This is a once in an lifetime opportunity for her."
But. Um. It's not about her.
"Don't stop thinking about...1992..."
I can't wait to see NY post's headlines this week. It's gonna be good.
Aberjona,
"But. Um. It's not about her."
Exactly!!!
I don't know how many of her supporters are crazy, neurotic and bitter enough not to vote democrat because she's not running anymore, but they're the only ones she's still got any control over. Anyone else who was going to vote for her is going to vote for the democrat.
Those spiteful women out there should just check their uterus at the door with a note saying "republicans can just do whatever they want with this." Not to mention with the economy and diddling the rest of the world at will.
But these women don't have to worry about a Republican President with a veto proof congress. So McCain will essentially be kept in check and these women will be find. So voting Republican doesn't necessarily destroy the world plus McCain isn't the worst thing that ever happened.
Obama could still choose a woman as his VP.
Most news reports show Obama with several white men as the leading candidates for his running mate. Not one even mentions a woman.
