Hell, it wasn't HER money she was wasting anyway no matter what financial hokus-pokus was played...
"Hillary Clinton ended her historic bid for the White House Saturday declaring she would not look back.
“Life is too short … to dwell on what might have been,” she said.
But there are plenty of people who will, since the twisting, unpredictable Democratic primary race will probably stand as a tough lesson to front-runners in campaigns to come.
Perhaps the biggest mistake, aides admit, was she underestimated her rival. But a look back shows the many opportunities lost and missteps taken by both candidates. It also shows the triumphs that kept Clinton in the race through the end, and vaulted Barack Obama over the top.
“She had the campaign wrapped up when she started, everybody said it was hers to lose and yet she lost,” said Ted Sorensen, a former adviser to President Kennedy who was supporting Obama. “She thought she was the best but he was better.”
The former first lady began the race as the establishment favorite. Bill Clinton was arguably the biggest surrogate a candidate could ask for, and she was pitting her many years in Washington against a freshman senator whose biggest claim to fame was his speech on the floor of the 2004 Democratic National Convention."
Bill Clinton stumped for Gore, then Kerry, and finally his wife. All of them lost. To call him the biggest surrogate is someone's idea of a joke now isn't it. Up next, Obama will do as his handlers demand, and he'll select the VP he's told to select. The only way Hillary gets the nod is if she can buy her way in, and with the foreign money connections she and Bill have, it isn't out of the question. Depends on precisely what the real people in charge want. A President on a leash or select chinese phone numbers.
Tell you what, though. She sure didn't sound like someone's Vice President.
