Although Father Michael Pfleger was over the top with his mocking of Hillary Clinton's campaign at Barack Obama's former church, I think some of Father Pfleger's content hit the nail right on the head. He said Clinton felt she was "entitled" to the job...after all, she was the former First Lady! She was a CLINTON! If you look back over her campaign, I think you will see she wasn't campaigning very hard at first. She thought she had it already wrapped up. Obama, a newcomer, might give her a little competition, but she wasn't worried. She would give a little speech at a rally here and there, but she didn't really get into the heart of campaigning until someone in her campaign told her to take a look at Obama, and she saw that indeed, "objects may be closer than they appear." When the American people began to align themselves with Obama, she began to get worried, and her her campaign "smear tactics" started to emerge.

As time went on, the more supporters Obama gained, the more worried, desperate, and cunning her campaign became. It was truly, "win at all costs" even if it destroyed the Democratic Party. Finally, as Obama gained more and more of the electoral votes, her campaign managers realized there was no way she could win. She had misjudged the American people. Her "concession speech" (which really wasn't a concession) couldn't have been more phony. Her "unity" speech in Unity, New Hampshire wasn't from her heart, you could tell it was only something she was forced into doing if she wanted to remain in the Democratic Party. Hillary Clinton no more wanted people to vote for Barack Obama than she wanted to have pins shoved under her fingernails.

It will be Hillary Clinton. It was all planned...Obama if Hillary got further, and Clinton if Obama pulled ahead. Together, they cannot lose against McCain. Obama is waiting till the last minute to announce, to build suspense and get the momentum going again.

I agree - it won't be Hillary. She's going to wait the 4 years and run again.
