So Morgan is a babe. Despite that, she may have a point.
A female-on-female disagreement. And which red-blooded American male doesn't enjoy this? I can't think of one.

Hillary Clinton Supporters: Are You Happy Now?

So she's in. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama announced that Clinton's name will indeed be on the nomination ballot at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Obama supports this for the sake of unity, saying he hopes it will help bring the party together. This is historic, but will it do anything to satisfy Clinton's supporters?
Clinton joins Margaret Chase Smith, whose name was considered for the Republican nomination in 1964, and Shirley Chisholm, who won 151.5 votes at the Democratic convention in 1972. The National Organization for Women and other groups across the country are touting her accomplishment. "Hillary Clinton's campaign made history this year, with 18 million women and men across the country voting for her in the primaries," NOW President Kim Gandy said in a statement. "And she will make history yet again when delegates from nearly every state in the nation will be able to take the floor and proudly say Clinton's name in the roll call vote."
These groups are right: Clinton is making history. But she is still supporting Obama. Her latest statements show no indication that she expects to win the nomination or join the fight against the "flawed" primary process that groups like PUMA (Party Unity My A—) and The Denver Group are making noise about. When delegates take to the floor and get to vote for Clinton, the woman who got closer to winning the presidency than any woman in history, it will be historic. But for advocates of women in politics, like me, the true example of success is when delegates can vote for a woman who has a chance of winning the nomination. That will be the point in history when we can truly say we've come far enough. Right now, there is still a lot of work to do for women in politics. Allowing delegates to vote for Clinton at the convention isn't the end of the fight for women or, likely, for PUMA supporters.
So my question to all of you Hillraisers is: Are you happy now?
So Morgan is a babe. Despite that, she may have a point.

If it gets her elected, you bet.
no, they are not appy.
there are boomer and older women that want a female president before they die.
I read that Clinton doesn’t want it. Obama wants the floor vote - to humiliate Hillary. That sounds pretty standard for his playbook.
“A female-on-female disagreement. And which red-blooded American male doesn’t enjoy this? I can’t think of one.”
Have you seen the liberal females? We’re not talking Ann Coulter v. Sarah Palin here.
The PUMA and Denver Group folks have made it quite clear they do NOT like BHO as their candidate, and that there are still 173 delegates who have not yet cast their votes.
...Pass the popcorn.
Would that be a cage match - or - mud wrestling?
It really does matter...
Smith, Chisholm and Clinton.
So it’s the women who get this “awwww, you lost” treatment?
Why is that?
Libs - cage (and not just for the match)
us - Baby Oil!
AKA “Hillary Hags.”
“Obama supports this for the sake of unity, saying he hopes it will help bring the party together.”
Another indicia of how totally clueless this man is. Better he get blind sided now by Hillary than later by Putin or Ahmadinejad.
Oh please, Don’t throw me in the Briar Patch, Mr. Bear. This can and will hurt BHO.
She is going to do the coup. It is going to be excellent television to watch. Get your popcorn. And tape it.
The primary process is flawed in both major parties.
He’s so arrogant he doesn’t care. Remember, this is the guy who rented the 75,000 seat stadium for the victory speech for the victory he hadn’t even won yet...and has people being bussed in from all over the country for it, just to make sure the Dems are scared enough not even to think of nominating anybody else.
I don’t think so. I believe that the Dems are genuinely scared of him, but now they’re stuck with him. I think he’ll lose, but at this point, I think she’d lose, too, even if they somehow could nominate her at the last minute. She would have been the stronger candidate and probably McCain would now have been way behind her in the polls. It’s good for us, but on the whole, it seems to me that Barry has the Dems seriously messed up.
