Lanny Davis has a petition for people to sign if they want Obama to select Hillary Clinton as vice-president. Clinton didn’t concede in her speech and is now suffering withering criticism from pretty much every pundit on television (except Lanny Davis). Numerous reporters have said the Obama campaign is irritated as all hell. I don’t know why anyone thought she’d take this opportunity to take the high road. She apparently thinks she can force her way onto the ticket, but she should take a look at one thing that will remind her that she ain’t gonna be on the ticket. It’s pretty fundamental.
“Send us good vibes. Pray for us. Think positive thoughts. But most of all, be vigilant. Be vigilant about stopping this kind of talk. It’s not funny. You don’t have to like Barack to dislike that kind of talk. Be vigilant about stopping that kind of talk.” – Michelle Obama, speaking about Clinton’s references to the RFK assassination.
It doesn’t get any more personal than that. And if Clinton understands this, then what exactly is she doing? I’d love to stop trashing Clinton. I really, really would. People send me all kinds of emails telling me how important it is to stop alienating Clinton supporters. I’m sorry, but I don’t play like that. I stop fighting when you cry uncle. I don’t stop fighting while you’re throwing blows at me. But I’m going on vacation anyway. You all keep up the fight until you see a white flag.
