There is no hiding the frustration singer Nancy Sinatra feels in Sen. Hillary Clinton's loss in the presidential primaries to Sen. Barack Obama. "I was disappointed in the Democratic result, and now I don't know what I'm doing," says the star known for hits like "These Boots Are Made for Walkin.' " "I know it's one vote and it's not a big deal in the scheme of things, but to me it's very important," she adds. Sinatra, in Washington to promote legislation requiring radio to pay royalties to performers, says the nation needs a woman as president. And like many Clinton backers, she's on the fence between Obama and switching to Republican Sen. John McCain. "I'm listening, and I'm watching, and I'm learning," she says, though "anything that smacks of the current administration is not going to be my thing." But a warning to the Obama campaign: She doesn't see Mac as Bush III. "I don't necessarily believe that's true," she says.

Is there anyway that we Organize a movement for HRClinton to run as an Independent? For sure with all the 18mil that voted for her will outvoted Barack Hussein Obama and McCain. Could we persuade the National Org. for Women NOW to organized such movement?

HRC was treated unfairly both the media and the unloyal delegates. James Carville is correct when he called Richardson a Judas indeed.

The media and all the Dels. and SuperDels are so scared of a Black candidates to be called as racist. This is biased, everyone could criticized HRC but not BHO

I am sure if HRC will run as Independent all the 18mil will vote for her.

Could we have the name of those Dels that switches their votes from HRC to BHC? so comes elections we could votes for their rivals.
