What will Hillary do next?

June 6, 2008 · 2 Comments

(CNN) — Barack Obama and American voters made history this week. The big question is how long Hillary Clinton will stand in the way.The next question is what will happen to her, her voters and their money. And she isn’t saying.
What she did tell supporters is that she isn’t dropping out fast. “I’ll be consulting with party leaders and supporters with the best interests of our party and our country guiding our way.”
For weeks, we knew that Obama would win the Democratic nomination to the presidency, the first African-American ever to be chosen by a major US party. He was just too far ahead.
But back at the start of the campaign 16 months ago, it was Clinton who was far ahead in the opinion polls. It was Clinton who had every reason to expect that she would be the first: the first woman. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/05/mann.obama.victory/index.html#cnnSTCText

My Comment:

Immediately after John Kerry lost the Election in 2004, the US media started talking about Hillary presidential run in 2008. And they somehow made it clear that there is nobody that can challenge her within the Democratic party. Over the years she was now used to seeing herself as the Democratic nominee and probably seeing herself as the next President after George Bush.
That year 2004 I made up my mind that I will not vote for her in the primary or the General election.

Here are my reasons for this decision:
1. She voted for the Iraqi war because of her political reason and not because it is neccessary.
2. Rather than accept her role in voting for the war, she talks about the prosecution of the war by the Bush administration.
3.This is a country of 300M+ people, one family cannot continue to think that it is their right to rule other people. Skip a generation and let others rule. This is not oligarchy or Kingdom.
4.Before the primary started the candidates agreed with the Party regarding states that violate the rules to not campaign. But once she started loosing, suddenly she is now the voice of the people in that state. Now you want to move the goal post. To me that is act of desperation for power.
5. Watch out people of New York, that Senate sit maybe for Chelsea once Hillary retires and possibly for generation of Clintons. 
6. She lost the primary, but she wants people to advice her on she should do next.. Hello, do I see selfishness here..
