Her opening lines sounded pretty concessiony to me, but I guess not so much. Why? I really don't get it.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, I thought they were shouting "ten months."
Wait, what? Dude, IT'S OVER. There's no decision to make tonight, you LOST THE VOTE. Oy fucking vey, I'm going to bed.

Gah. I was really, really hoping she'd grab this opportunity to throw her support and turn the tone of this around. I don't see how she comes off this looking good.

I thought she was saying that she was making no decisions tonight about her future plans.

Yep, that's how I read it. I don't think she's going to prolong it much more. I think she's setting herself up to take the VP position. And honestly, I think that would be the best thing.

Personally, I'm still crazy pissed and bitter at Gore for conceding when HE HAD WON. I have no problems with Hillary sticking it out until the absolute complete last second. Which Gore totally should have done. I realize a lot of people feel like it's hurting party unity, but for me, not so much. I was rooting for Hillary, but I will have no problems supporting Obama come November because Hillary waits one more day to concede. It's not like it's going to make me a big McCain fan somehow. Though I do like McCain better than Bush, for the record. So who knows, maybe I will go all crazy anti-party! That would be exciting.

Honestly, I don't want her anywhere near the ticket, but then, things like this: [link] makes me cranky.

If that was her intent (to end the campaign, but hold open her personal options) then I think it's even more of a wasted opportunity, frankly.
Feh. I think part of the reason I find this so frustrating is that I feel strongly that this was her best shot to go out on a really high note. I mean, it's over either way, but I guess I was hoping for more tonight.

Me too. I don't know how much I believe that--but I've got plenty of other grudges, not least that her so-called popular vote margin doesn't even include my STATE.

The issue is that until the Dems decide, McCain gets to go around looking "presidential" and honing every single aspect of his campaign. And the Dems aren't able to focus themselves and concentrate on positioning themselves against the Republicans. Every minute they spend fighting amongst themselves is a minute lost in the battle against the Republicans.
