I believe some people run in the Marine Marathon not sure if they can make it to the end. Do you go the the guy/girl still running after the first person has crossed the finish line and say, "you should quit!" NO you don't.
I think Obama supporters still see her as a threat, thats why we are hearing what we hear.
Either way the Republicans will win again this election.

Brian what's the deal with complainin’ and criticizing’ her followers for turnin' over THEIR MONEY for her to spend ...what's your point, to brand these people dummies? ...while on the hole, I can't find it in me to imagine Hillary or Obama making much of a Prez, how does a candidate who passed on Michigan voters never the less recieve half their delegates for a no show ...let me guess, Obama thought it was fair the Party foiled Florida and Michigan’s primary results rather than demand CHANGE…

.failed you say ...who's to say the Dems primary season wouldn’t have went the other way had Clinton enjoyed media adulation for taking the Florida and Michigan primaries and had the opportunity to use that capital to strengthen voter support launchin’ her more strongly into the schedule of primaries that followed …who’s to say had the Dems not conveniently abandoned their crusade of the recent past to “count every vote” Clinton wouldn’t be the top dog at the Dem convention…

The Dems can’t save themselves from tinkerin’ with destiny if they feel it won’t turn out as scripted …they got the candidate they ordained would be and look at the messy corners they have to figure how to tuck in to make it look like they’ve got a nice, tidy bed to lie on and that there never was a problem…

The one thing I agree with in Brian's post is, "Spend hard earned money from millions of believers."

Like many of the other posters here, I abhor Hillary and "Slick Willy", win or lose, she needs to continue to the convention.

AMEN Gooberpug!

Brian, Brian...you are a very good anchor...i listen to you and Shawn every night. I am very disappointed in your questioning Hillary's
"sticktoitiveness". Remember, it's not over until it's over. She HAS earned the right to hang in there until!!! You need to stick to anchoring.

hey Smooov ...a suggestion when you vist your grandparents in the future ...I'd encourage you not to use the phrase "sit your tired old tail down" in their presence ...they may see it as a sign haven't quite yet matured and question what other genuine feelin's your hold toward someone of their age ...maybe leave them a little turned off at the least...

Why do you feel it necessary to refer to McCain in such a derogatory manner? You say he needs to sit his old tail down somewhere. What about Obama and his poetic speeches. You know the ones...he talks and talks getting people all fired up (Rev Wright's shadow and Farrakhans Bro). Then when all the excitement dies down it leaves people STILL asking what exactly does he intend to CHANGE and how is it going to get done? Those of us who are not followers of Obama has him figured out. We see clearly what he's all about. His playground and playmates speaks volumes and defines who he his. That does not change by making a speech on leaving the church. He's not a true leader but a great speaker.

Brian...You have a right to your opinion...but expressing it is not so good when you are a news anchor. Your words are typical of MSNBC and NBC's pro-Obama spin on EVERYTHING. The most successful news anchors, such as Walter Cronkite and Peter Jennings were professionals who never overtly gave their opinions on newscasts...and they were much loved for that professionalism. You would do well to emulate them. I think it is tacky for you to express the fact that you "think" Hillary has no right to stay in this race until the end. She has earned EVERY right to stay in this race...this is called a DEMOCRACY..or..it used to be.

I appreciate all your comments. It's a difficult task to post an apolitical blog about a political nuance ... but that's the gist of this entry. I'm no more an Obama supporter than a Clinton supporter than a McCain supporter. I'm merely an observer, offering my take on a controversial topic. I've taken both parties to task. Cried foul on all major candidates. With the ever present skepticism of media motives ... the simmering idealogical feud between FOX News and MSNBC ... putting 'talking heads' like myself into stereotypical boxes is a popular parlor game. Just like hammering out a few words on a touchy topic that gets viewers talking. I compartmentalize blogs from broadcasts. I know you guys do too.

speech not speach

Well, Brian, I would hardly compare Hillary to Mitt Romney or Ron Paul. She lasted until June and got millions more votes than they. so, no comparison.

Also, as others have pointed out Obama and McCain have been away from their day job for a year. So what is the point of mentioning that as, unfortunately, that is the only way that they, the candidates can swing it.

Beyond that Hillary almost made it and got almost as many popular votes as Obama. So, while she didn't get THE nomination she certainly went the distance. Nothing to be sniveled at. So, as much as you protest, some of your reasoning is bogus.
