In an interview this morning on CBS’s “The Early Show,” Senator Hillary Clinton said “Barack Obama is going to be elected the next president and that she has “no doubt” about it.”
Clinton also said that while she recognizes that race and gender play a role in the minds of voters as they make their presidential [...]

Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton sat down together for a web cast with questions from women on the issues that are most important to them. Watch the video here:
As a single mother and a small business owner, I have to say they addressed a lot of issues that important to me, including health care, social [...]

I was really proud to support Hillary Clinton in the primaries and I loved her speech at the Democratic Convention last month. The line, “No Way, No How, No McCain” really struck a chord for me and a lot of other supporters as well.
Hillary was on the stump for Obama in Ohio on Sunday and [...]

Everyone’s still talking about the “lipstick on a pig,” and Hillary Clinton jumped into the mix today to add her two cents:
“Barack has made this clear,” she said responding to a question about the lipstick remark, which Republicans have condemned as a “disgraceful” and “sexist” attack on Palin. “It was no way meant as an [...]

Apparently some die-hard Clinton supporters see Palin as an option. Make no mistake about it, Palin is no Hillary Clinton on women’s issues. Here’s the statement from Ellen R. Malcolm, President of EMILY’s List on Senator McCain choosing Governor Palin (emphasis mine):
“How ironic that, on his 72nd birthday, McCain has raised the question of whether [...]

For all who were hoping for a floor fight today… Those hopes were dashed by a classy show of unity as Hillary Clinton called on the DNC to end the roll call vote and nominate Barack Obama by acclamation (emphasis mine):
Although there was some suspense over how the nomination process would play out, in the end, Senator [...]

Jeralyn posted an “An Open letter to Hillary Clinton Supporters” on TalkLeft today that is a must read for all those Clinton supporters still threatening to vote for McCain or a third party candidate.
Here’s some excerpts:

CNN reports today that Barack Obama’s campaign said “that the details of a potentially contentious roll call had finally been hammered out after weeks of discussion with aides to Hillary Clinton.”
The New York senator’s supporters had successfully pressed for her name to be placed in nomination in Denver, and party leaders had feared that the [...]

Darrell pegged it below, Hillary Clinton’s speech tonight was “amazing.” I was working late and missed it. But, I’ve just finished watching and in a word, it was awesome.
Hillary introduced herself a “proud mother,” a “proud Democrat,” a “proud American” and a “proud supporter of Barack Obama.”
“Whether you voted for me, or voted for Barack, the [...]

Who knew? If it was possible to see even a sliver of the future, what might be different?
Sen. Clinton just gave the presidency to her former rival, Sen. Obama. And in doing so, she accomplished the feat largely by showing the President she would have been, as opposed to the lesser president her campaign, for [...]
