Hillary 'Suspends' Campaign...Not "Ends" Campaign?


With the Hillary Campaign now THIRTY Million dollars in debt, Hillary "suspends" her Presidential campaign. Suspends? Why not 'Ends'? Frankly what does "suspend" mean in the political circles? I was told that it means to get the campaign debt paid off before a certain date. So if Hillary's thirty million dollars is paid off by the convention (as the 'rules' -- whatever rules mean -- state) will she then attempt to pull Super-Delegates over to her on August 27th, when the delegate and super-delegate votes are officially counted? Is Bill out there now negotiating with the remaining un-committed Super-delegates, with more attempts to change Obama's committed super-delegates, arguing Hillary's electability and her popular vote? Senator Obama already has his work cut out for him trying to convince the red states to vote for him without the Hillary "suspence".

Watching some of the Sunday morning political shows on TV, and listening to the others replays on C-Span radio, the panelists on both the Republican and Democratic sides were unanimous in their opinions that Obama should not select Hillary as Vice President. Rev. Jesse Jackson -- whom was in the exact scenario in 1992 when Bill Clinton selected Al Gore -- feels that "Hillary does have a strong case with 18-million voters in her corner." I think that the political experts from the Sunday morning political talk shows feel having Hillary as Obama's VP would ignite the Republican voters. Hillary also carries negative baggage and Hillary is not a representative from a swing State. A Democratic Governor or US Senator from a traditional Repulican-voting State would offer more to the electoral count. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anna-greenberg/angry-white-women_b_105930.html

In Saturday's (June 7th, 2008) "suspended concession speech," Hillary touted her 18-million voters as a bargaining chip while announcing her support to the "Obama for President" campaign. A mixed message that has her 18-million voters more confused than before the speech despite stating Senator Obama's name fourteen times. The code word "suspend" kept the minds of her voters at ease, knowing that one day soon she will revive her "suspended" campaign. "What day will that be Hillary?" says dejected Hillary supporter pictured to the left?
