I Just Called to Say I Love You

Since Hillary called Obama to congratulate him on S. Carolina, neither one has called to congratulate the other on victories. Yet this piece is premised on the notion that Hillary was petty in not congratulating Obama at a rally last night in Texas? (At which she drew 12,000 screaming supporters). Oh those anti-Hillary insults just keep coming don't they. Hillary not congratulating Obama, Sen. Hillary (D-Texas)... you guys never stop. The pettiness is all about the little barbs of nothing you guys write up in an election to decide the President of the United States.

she does better when she acts cordially with what's left of the candidate list.
shows more professonalism on her part and i think she should continue that approach..

The reason that Obama hasn't called Clinton to congratulate her since Nevada is ... she hasn't beaten him since Nevada. She won some races on Super Tuesday, but the whole day was essentially a split decision, with no real winner. Other than that, all the wins have been on Obama's side. What was he supposed to do? Call Hillary and congratulate her on breaking 35 percent in Virginia?

What I will giove Clintons is that they don't back down, even in the face of humiliation, it reminds me of another politician - George W. Bush. If you can win on the merits scare the hell out of the electorate and they will jump where you tell 'em.

Kübler-Ross Grief Cycle:
denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance

It's often not a straight progression.

It's not the lack of congratulations, it's the denial of her defeats altogether that's the issue. At the same time she's angry with her staff and blames them for her campaign problems. She's bargaining: Here's five million, let me win Ohio and Texas and that'll fix things. Let me have my Florida and Michigan delegates and everything will be okay again. Just keep Bill away and ?

Well, she'll be at the depression stage soon enough.

So, Jake, when did Sen. Clinton switch states and start representing the fine people of Texas? Or is it that Texas annexed Arkansas when we weren't looking?

Frank: did you read the article, short as it was? It clearly mentions Senator Obama called to congratulate her on the Nevada win. He thanked his supporters in New Hampshire for their hard work, suggesting it could be used a valuable lesson. He reassured his penalty box supporters in Florida too. He has yet to dismiss or run away from a losing state before hearing the results. That's called integrity, sir. It would be sad to think it's been so long you've forgotten.

After Nevada, Obama didn't say anything either. He just got on a plane and left.

I guess it's always worse when someone named "Clinton" does it.

I second that previous comment:

1.) since when did Texas get a Democratic Senator

2.) since when did Texas elect Hillary Clinton to be one of its senators

Kyle: As soon as she saw the faint glimmer of a win there.

As for the rest of the article, what's so strange about this latest oversite from her campaign? She dissed Iowa as "doesn't count", indirectly claimed SC was just some racial fluke via her mouthpiece co-candidate, swooped into Florida to claim a (sadly empty) victory and dumped on any recent state with a caucus as somehow not valid. Why would anyone be looking for any grace from such a poor loser?

When did Hillary become a Texas senator?
