"A Singular Achievement" got it right versus "It's Not About You, Hillary" [June 16].

For many women waiting "to see the ultimate glass ceiling shattered" by Hillary Clinton, the end of her candidacy was indeed very painful. I had to record Hillary's exit speech because I could not bear to watch it the same day it was aired. Hillary is not just another female candidate. We have seen her by the side and in the shadow of her successful husband for years, and to many capable, educated and ambitious women, she strikes a chord. If Hillary is not on the Democratic ticket as vice president, her heartbreak is, in a certain sense, mine as well. For many women, this is not just about the Democratic agenda.

Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic presidential nominee if she had not mismanaged her campaign. She misjudged what America wanted by touting her experience. She overspent and felt she was entitled. She used her husband as a trial balloon for playing the race card. And she didn't have real answers for this country's problems. Hillary Clinton has four years to develop workable solutions and can run again.

I can see that there are alot of Hillary haters out there. I believe most of them are young unacceptable college student who are hate comments. They have called her names , mocked her etc ; but she prevailed against a very inexperienced candidate that did not even have the decency to visitsick and wounded soldiers in German his fluff belated trip 99 days befoare November 4,2008. Hillary's right's to be on the ballot and in the nominating process and allowing Super Delegates to switch to the more electable candidate is the Democratic rules. It is no longer about the candidates; but about the wholeness of the Democratic Party. If things are not done rightly as they should and I so not feel Michigan was right. You gave 55 uncommited delegates and then toi show your disgusting clout that you think you are enjoying you take 4 of Hillary's delegates and give them shamefully to Obama just to show and exude a disgusting rub it in your nose. I vow that you won't get away with the world system Mr. Dean. I serve and fear a JUST GOD. and you should to. I've lived to see that how one treats their fellow man or woman you get the same measure back .I believe it to be a spiritual law. I also believe if you give, you'll get back more than you gave ; but you my friend took something away from the Democratic Party's system of how true decent Democrats I was raise are all about and I will be voting if Hillary is not on the ballot in Denver and not involved in the nomination. Then we large and strong will punish you for crookidness. That's right being crooks. Sincerely Mary Ann p.s MODERATOR SEE THAT DEAN GETS THIS! Thanks!

I ceased being a Democrat on May 31, 2008. Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, et al hijacked the party that day.

The Democratic Party is SOOOO dumb!! If the DNC had just stayed out of it, Hillary could have been President with Obama as her VP. We could have been assured of 16 years in the White House. But no, they anointed Barack Obama instead. If he somehow gets elected, he is doomed to a failed presidency and the Republicans will be back in a mere 4 years. Pitiful.
