Clinton Fulfilling New Role With Gusto
I especially appreciated the part about "No Way, No How, No McCain, No Palin". It's a good start but only a start, don't you know?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

HILLARY CLINTON likes to say she put 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling that keeps a woman out of the White House. She shouldn't let Sarah Palin sneak through to become the first female vice president.
Ever since Barack Obama beat her to become the Democratic nominee, Clinton said she will do what it takes to help him win in November.
Obama didn't have to chase her, like Jimmy Carter chased Ted Kennedy in 1980 in an embarrassing quest for a picture of party unity. Clinton and Obama stood side by side in Unity, N.H., and Clinton called for Obama's nomination by acclimation from the convention floor in Denver.
"No way, no how, no McCain," she told Democrats in a forceful endorsement speech. She added "No Palin" after Republican John McCain picked the little-known, female governor of Alaska as his running mate.
Vanquished primary candidates usually go home to rest and ponder the high points and lows of their failed effort. Clinton, in contrast, raised more than $4 million for the Obama campaign and repeatedly urged her supporters to campaign for Obama and contribute to his cause. She hosted a reception in Denver for 250 of her donors and is scheduled to be in Chicago tonight for another fund-raising event. She has another fund-raising event scheduled for Sept. 22 in New York City, with the goal of raising $500,000.
The top women's groups that supported Clinton endorsed Obama and Clinton is urging all the unions that endorsed her in the primary to back Obama.............
