Whoopi Goldberg Blasted Hillary Clinton Today

[Apollo]

I bet she'll concede in the next few days. She just needs to give her diehard supporters one final chance to be heard...by her. I'm sure it has a little to do with the VP spot...but, Sen. Clinton realizes that you cannot strong arm your way onto the ticket. She's made her case for being considered. No...both campaigns have had a huge impact on the political scene...they have driven trains of change and only one will continue on...the other needs a chance to apply the brakes....and I'm sure adjust to the reality. If the shoe were on the other foot it would be just as hard for the Obama supporter.

There's no way that Sen. Clinton was going to allow the historic moment yesterday over shadow her chance to unify the party. Sure, it's ego on her part...but she'll do the right thing. It's easy for the anti-Clinton people to rip her up...but in the end she's a very intelligent woman and a true democrat.

I think the real tragedy here is that shows like the View and all these news channels are focusing on speculation about a Obama/Clinton ticket....or dwelling on Sen. Clinton. It's silly for them to focus on that and not focus on how historic yesterday was.

For the first time in our nation's history a AfAm man will be the head of a political ticket for the highest seat in the world.

On August 28, 1963 MLK gave his "I have a dream speech"...on August 28, 2008 Sen. Obama will give a speech accepting the democratic nomination for the US presidency.

It's an amazing time for our nation...and once again the news media has missed a chance.

Actually, the news agencies did focus on the history event and how revolutionary these two campaigns have been. Once they were done with that, they started speculation which is only natural considering they are human too.

I think his August 28th speech will be amazing. Not only will he be accepting the democratic nominee with a real chance of winning in November, but it will also be the day of the speech that changed the landscape of America. Obama is certainly no Martin Luther King Jr. but he still an amazing man for sticking his neck out there like that and catching something great.

Black...I flipped between MSNBC, CNN and Fox all night last night. I don't think they focused enough on how incredible this whole campaign has been. It was mentioned...I don't deny that...but it was almost always followed up with some kind of speculation about the VP slot, what wasn't said or some kind of slam about Sen. Clinton (made by the media, not Obama supporters).

I guess I wonder how the media can already be over just how important yesterday was in the history of our nation.

lol It was one ABC's Evening News with Charlie Gibson.

Friday is the day, right?

I hope he does, and she alluded to that much in her speech last night.

I'd bet both my nuts that he will not, and I hope he does not. I would support her as a cabinet level official, that's all. I hate to say it but he needs a white male with a military background.

No. As a donor to her campaign I got a heads-up email from Hillary at 1: 30 am this morning.

She will announce at a rally on Saturday that she wants all of her supporters to support the Obama campaign. She will suspend her campaign (not officially end it) and support Obama.

I suspect the suspension is "just in case" situation. There are a lot of angry people in Florida who are filing a law suit to overturn the decision to punish the Democratic voters for a decision that was made by Republicans. And for reasons no one can really explain, Obama got a disproportionately high number of delegates from FL despite winning only a few rural counties and taking a distant 3rd place behind Edwards. In addition, He was given delegates from Michigan that was disproportionately higher than the percentage of Non-Hillary voters.

And in a race this tight where every delegate matters, any primary redo would undo the results.

There needs to be some kind of healing process. On Obama sites, there is anger and hatred for Hillary and On her site, there is vitriol like you've never seen from THOUSANDS insisting that they will never vote for Obama. Why is this important?

She won every key state and nearly all of the swing states. She also received nearly 18 million votes, more than any candidate in history and about 300,000 more votes than Obama. That is impressive enough, but when more than half of her voters have pledged not to vote for Obama, there is a problem. Half or Hillary's votes is more than McCain got on his own. Without unity, McCain could win very easily.
