Many SD&#039;s who endorsed early, have made it clear they chose Hillary for loyalty. How is choosing based solely on loyalty acting in the best interest of the party?

Harris wrote that the president &#8220;teased reporters&#8221; soon after shutting down walk-in access to the press secretary&#8217;s office: &#8220;You know why I can stiff you on the press conferences?&#8221; he quipped. &#8220;Because Larry King liberated me by giving me to the American people directly.&#8221;</p><p>This strategy helped Bill win the White House, and has helped Hillary in the years since.</p><p>During her races to become a New York senator, Hillary embraced the focused, tight messages that cable stations allowed her to broadcast. She and her influential consultants managed the public&#8217;s perception of her from the campaigns&#8217; highest levels, ensuring that the candidate remained likeable, and more importantly, electable, to everyday Joes like you and me. The tactics were executed in television studios and carefully scripted campaign stops across the country.</i></p><p><a HREF="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tom-namako/i-was-a-clinton-volunteer_b_97526.html" REL="nofollow">I Was A Clinton Volunteer</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: Angela</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/04/note-from-a-new-obama-convert/comment-page-1/#comment-10848</link> <dc:creator>Angela</dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:02:00 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://s45368.gridserver.com/?p=1115#comment-10848</guid> <description>I listen to xm radio when I am running errands and there is a POTUS 08 Channel....didn&#039;t get the name of the speaker, but, he said exactly what I keep hearing on the major cable channels.....and that is they expect Obama to be the Democratic nominee.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What in the world is Hillary doing by hanging in there like a Huckabee, knowing she can&#039;t win and doing nothing but bringing the party down?</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I listen to xm radio when I am running errands and there is a POTUS 08 Channel&#8230;.didn&#8217;t get the name of the speaker, but, he said exactly what I keep hearing on the major cable channels&#8230;..and that is they expect Obama to be the Democratic nominee.</p><p>What in the world is Hillary doing by hanging in there like a Huckabee, knowing she can&#8217;t win and doing nothing but bringing the party down?</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: Craig Hickman</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/04/note-from-a-new-obama-convert/comment-page-1/#comment-10847</link> <dc:creator>Craig Hickman</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 20 Apr 2008 23:20:00 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://s45368.gridserver.com/?p=1115#comment-10847</guid> <description>It finally dawned on me what Hillary Rodham Nixon is doing.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It finally dawned on me what Hillary Rodham Nixon is doing.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
