Senator Clinton is not someone I feel sorry for. As a registered Republican it would surprise me to see a lot of sympathy for her. When she first announced she was running I actually considered her for the first woman President. That is until she reminded me how much I disliked her.

There are so many reasons it is hard to know where to begin. The story about Bosnia was getting better every time Senator Clinton spoke about it. Too bad there was the video and eyewitnesses to talk about it.

She has certainly lived up to her reputation as mean, nasty and willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Sometimes shooting herself in the foot. Senator McCain has far more experience, especially concerning the military and being Commander -in Chief. All the Presidents with no experience in Washington and foreign diplomacy were lousy and horrible. Her husband was the Governor of Arkansas with no experience in Washington and foreign affairs. Is she saying her husband was a really horrible President?

It seems most people disagree with me about the crocodile tears. I would find it much more sympathetic if she kept the smirk off her face. Everyone knows Senator Clinton is tough as nails. Yet when the going really gets tough it is nice to have a big, strong and handsome husband to get out there and defend the little woman.

She is losing in elected delegates, popular votes and number of states. If the situation was reversed Senator Obama probably would have been forced out by now. The more she attacks him the better it is for Senator John McCain. Does she really want to hand the White House to the Republican party just to keep Senator Obama out? She has made the campaign so nasty it is getting hard to imagine the Democratic party coming together for Senator Obama who has a much better shot at winning the nomination.

These are just some of the reasons it is hard to feel sympathetic. When it comes to dishing it out, the person should also know how to take it. Whining and crying and hand wringing and complaining about being picked on is not a pretty sight in a man or a woman.
