philobeto,

If everyone is discounted because of one "failure", I think we would all be sitting in our cribs and sucking our thumbs. Senator Clinton's first attempt at universal health care did not succeed because we as a country were not prepared to fight for it. Her years of tireless advocacy have shown us her tenacity to do what would help the country, even when her causes had to be measured by the capacity of her influence. She has been pragmatic and effective. Her resolve never wavered. If she was any less than the person she is, she would not have bothered, because by the way she has been treated, it does not seem we deserve her service.

Has your mama never taught you: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again?

From what I gather from Senator and Mrs. Obama, they certainly do not intend to.
