But no more Clintons, that IS relevant. The bad old days of 22 million new jobs, a balanced budget, no deficit, a strong dollar, help to pay college tuition, lower interest rates on credit and mortgage and student loans, welfare under control at long last and the Earned Income Tax Credit - the best thing that ever happened to working poor.

The party chooses the nominee, not Hillary. There isn't anything she can do, she can't "sue" to win the race. The courts have already ruled that they have no jurisdiction in how primaries pick their candidates, it's up to the party. And we can tell which way they are leaning. At this point, the only likely reason she is still running is to repay her campaign loans from herself. If she is dissatisfied with the Democrat party, she needs to leave it. She should've left at the start of the race however, if that was her intention. Complaining about the rules only once its clear that they do not favor you is very, very poor sportsmanship.

So when the country's going to hell with McCain at the wheel, blame yourself for voting for him.
