I not only don't think she has to concede tonight, I don't think she should concede tonight. It's his night, let him celebrate. I do think she will praise him and go all the way up to suspending her campaign.

By putting it off until later, it turns this into a nice little two-day story. Today it is about him winning. Tomorrow it is about the party healing. I think they will do something together and it will probably be sometime tomorrow. In fact, I think that would be a pretty good strategy.

I think there is no way that it is Rice. I think the only Republican with a chance is Chuck Hagle.

Should have quoted your whole post. But do you know how bad this sounds...dear gawd. You are saying Hillary should kiss his shoes..and the ground he walks on. Because thats how I read it.

Yep I agree. I think she answered to being fine with VP because they have talked it out and realize it is what the party members want. I certainly want a Hillarack ticket. Hillary will bring in so many women votes if she is on as VP (more like is because odds are that is where it is leaning)....and she has worked her entire life to help the poor. She was not some scumbag attorney. She really cared about helping people and it is rare to find a caring attorney these days.

I don't mind McCain as a person...I just think he is a dangerous politician.

See I wish it was Rice that was the VP nominee with McCain as president nominee...because that ticket would lose even worse than Goldwater did in 1964.

Chuck Hagel would make a great VP but McCain as president is not acceptable to me...Hagel is one of few Republicans that I admire

He has his millions of supporters and so does she. In between both, there are those who will vote for either one.

But there are also many supporters going for the other candidate if theirs is not on the ticket. Right now, we have to worry about how to appeal to those Hillary supporters going to McCain if she is not on the ticket. The best way to have none of them go to him is to have a Hillarack ticket

As a Clinton supporter it's probably easy for you to see things that way but I like to try to see both sides of situations and I can see why Obama supporters don't see it that way.

I think it's unfair (but life) that a ton of extra burden is placed on Obama in terms of people saying he needs to please everyone under the sun in order to win. He can't do it and yes he will lose some votes but maybe there will be other votes that work out for him. Maybe I've listened to the media too long but it sounds like he needs to kiss every butt in America in order to get votes and I find that sad but almost laughable.

You can't possibly know what his supporters would do if she were the nominee. Has it occurred to you that some of them simply wouldn't bother voting?

No I am just going by what the polls say and they are suggesting that a larger number of her backers are going to McCain if she is not on the ticket. Not as many Obama supporters would go for McCain if she was the nominee and he was not on the ticket. These are from reliable polls

I don't know if his supporters or her supporters would carry out what they say...but the polls say what they say

    • Thank you Paul! Recently, I have been reading the stories from 1965....the kidnapping of little Jessie by her real parents, the trial that was held, dr Noel and Brooke...and Meg.... 60 years now!!!! I have been searching the 1965 Thanksgiving episode that I think it exists in Youtube, without any luck....does anyone know if this episode exists or it is simple a trick of my mind...it must be so powerful see it!!! The other scene from 1965 is Steve and Audrey's wedding in February 1965!  I wish we can see these classic episodes in streaming one day ... Most of these actors must be dead, I hope we as fans don't die meanwhile we are waiting for this day!  
    • Episode 71: they formally introduce themselves by the pool (he didn’t know who she was in Ep.60)  Episode 136: first kiss
    • I am happy that Max (Branning) is back and that might get me back to watch the show again. I am happy that Bernie and Felix are leaving, because both are such boring characters to me. As for Ben being back.. I used to like him. But reading all that he's done in between me liking him and today makes me really dislike the character and I have no desire in seeing him unless he will be seen as a bad guy that he is on the show, which will not happen. 
    • Thanks @kalbir Looks like once the Corringtons left, Search struggled. National City Star-News, Volume 104, Number 18, 2 March 1986 Domini Blythe finds soap acting quite challenging By Nancy M. Reichardt English-born actress Domini Blythe Is a veteran of the finest classical theater companies In England, Canada and the United States, but her American television debut came only five short months ago when she accepted the role of Estelle Kendall on the NBC soap "Search for Tomorrow." Miss Blythe Joined the Royal Shakespeare Company In England when she was 18 years old. She did several films. Including "Tutankamun,” which was filmed In Egypt, then moved to Canada, where she eventually became a member of Canada’s Stratford Festival Company. Miss Blythe decided to seek work In the United States after she embarked upon an American teaching tour with the Royal Shakespeare Company. "After working between England and Canada for several years and expanding a lot of energy trying to keep a career going in both countries, it suddenly seemed to make much more sense to work li North America,” says Miss Blythe. "I landed a one-day role on 'Search for Tomorrow,”' she remembers “The feedback on that role was very good, and the producers said that they’d find a role for me, and the did with the role of Estelle. Asked why she agree to do a sopa opera role after her extensive credits I classical theater, she replied, "It seemed to me that this was the very best thing one could do upon coming here. Doing a soap provides a relatively stable Income with terrific exposure. "There's a challenge I playing a part that has no beginning and no end. It's so unlike anything else I’v ever done. I love the idea that a soap is a collaborative effort between you as an actor and the writer: which Is completely unlike performing the works of Shakespeare or any other  playwright who's dead." Miss Blythe describe Estelle as a “survivor'' an adds that she’s please that Estelle Is "a strong woman who can deal easily In a man’s world while she also has a very vulnerable side. "I like the fact that Estelle Is neither all good nor all bad like all hums beings,” Miss Blythe say "I find the Intricacies of the character interesting. Rather than dealing with murders, I'd prefer to deal with a corporate struggle. That’s something that can relate to more easily.

    • Desert Sun, Volume 43, Number 248, 23 May 1970 Soap Opera Queen A Real Homebody HOLLYWOOD (UP!)—Denise Alexander is unknown to nighttime-only television viewers but she is one of the queens of soap opera in her role of Susan Martin on the daily “Days of Our Lives’’ strip. The auburn haired beauty moved here from New York 12 years ago and into a Beverly Hills apartment she has furnished with antiques from a shop she opened and later closed. Her potpourri antique store was a modified success. Modified because Denise “tried to find good homes’’ for her merchandise. As a result many an ancient chair or table rests in her home, some with price tags still on them. A regular with “Days of Our Lives” for four years, Denise leaves her four-room diggings—bedroom, kitchen, dining room and living room—at 6: .10 a.m. every day for morning rehearsals at NBC. At noon the show is taped and by 1 p.m. the cast runs through the next day’s episode of the soap opera. “We can’t ad lib because the camera shots depend on word cues,” Denise says. “So we’ve learned to memorize our lines quickly.” Denise’s boy friend is actor David Hartman who stars in “The Bold Ones” for television. They are together almost every evening. Most often David takes Denise to dinner, and then perhaps a movie. Other evenings Denise broils steaks in her apartment for her “fella,” as she calls him. At the moment they haven’t any marriage plans. The actress prefers gourmet dishes and few chefs prepare veal cordon bleu better than she. Her swiss steak with wine sauce is also a treat which Hartman relishes. No Discotheques Their social life revolves around small dinner parties with friends and dancing at secluded, romantic places. They abhore discotheques. Weekends for the couple are devoted to tennis, sailing and restful days at the beach sunning and surfing. Then again, Hartman may stop by ,and the two will spend the day reading, with a little background music. Denise opened her door one day and an enormous white cat walked in, hopped onto a chair and staked a claim. She named the intruder “Cat." and he has been a member of her household ever since. Unlike the Sue Martin she portrays on the show, Denise is very much with it. Sue wears a conservative wardrobe. Denis prefers sophisticated, chic outfits from boutiques. She dislikes shopping but loves clothes. The problem is solved by periodic shopping sprees during which she purchases enough outfits to see her through for six months or more. When she feels out of style, back she goes to the smart shops.
    • Like why? That is one character who needed to be retired for decades. Yes, plural. There is literally nowhere else you can take this character anytime soon.  This show really needs to grow a pair and start killing off certain characters. And Martin wasn't one of them.  *coughs* Anyone with the last name Mitchell *coughs*  It's time.

    • I watched some of Friday's show. It was sweet to see Julie celebrate her wedding anniversary to Doug (their second - kudos to the writing team for remembering). Those moments with Julie are always so moving to me because you can tell they are straight from Susan's heart.  I know Patsy Pease hasn't been on DAYS in 15 years, but I still miss Kim in weeks that are so important for the Bradys and their history on the show. Michael Dietz was always a very likeable presence onscreen, even if he was never the greatest actor. That hasn't changed.  I was impressed with how well put together the montage was of John's various identities/memories. A number of those stories were ludicrous, and several of them never should have existed, but the way this was all crafted you could see just what a unique character all those parts made John...and how much Drake played the material as best he could, no matter what. The mirror scene was a great inclusion as that really wrapped everything of John together - viewers never truly knew who he was, nor did the people in Salem, but it didn't matter, as everyone loved him anyway.
