What Clinton Wishes She Could Say
Why, ask many Democrats and media commentators, won’t Hillary Rodham Clinton see the long odds against her, put her own ambitions aside, and gracefully embrace Barack Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee?

 Both Clinton, Obama Claim Popular Lead
Both Clinton, Obama Claim Popular Lead

Throughout his campaign Barack Obama has mocked his critics, noting that they just don't get what a novel figure and consistent unifier he has been for his whole life.

Such as: Barack Obama wears a FLAG PIN at all times. Even in the shower.
