Hillary didn't cancel event for Saturday Night Live

It has been reported on Dailykos that Hillary Clinton cancelled an event in Cleveland, or Columbus, or somewhere in Ohio (or Texas!) in order to appear on Saturday Night Live. This is usually reported as an 8:15pm "Solutions for America" rally at a university.

However, this rally is taking place tomorrow* and Hillary Clinton apparently did not cancel or skip any events to appear on SNL (if you have a link to prove she did, that would obviously change things). See here. The Ohio schedule for today after the jump...

•  Looks like she's going to be in Ohio all day

  tomorrow. I thought she was going to spend all weekend in Texas?

  by slinkerwink on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:24:51 PM PDT

  •  she's already lost Texas ...

    ... so now her top priority is saving Ohio.  I think that she'll pull it out and win narrowly there, but maybe not; Obama is gaining.

    There's been tons of early voting, and I saw a poll saying that those who voted already in Texas went 58-41 for Obama.

    •  ok. this makes me feel a little better

      I'll go ahead and just believe you.  I needed cheering up.

      by ksh01 on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:55:38 PM PDT

•  On ThePage, I don't see any Obama events

  in the evening. Just in the morning.

  by slinkerwink on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:26:10 PM PDT

  •  i noticed that also. why do you think that is?

    by nycstray on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:02:39 PM PDT

    •  I don't know.

      I'm looking for more information. Can't find it on any of the political blogs.

      by slinkerwink on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:08:38 PM PDT

      •  Colbert Report?

        I just want to start an irresponsible rumor.  It's in my nature.  Well, only when it comes to TCR.

        but I figure if Hillary's doing The Daily Show, it only makes sense for Obama to be on Colbert.  Plus, it fulfills my fantasies...

        by thisniss on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 11:06:59 PM PDT

        •  it's tomorrow...Colbert Report isn't on tomorrow

          by slinkerwink on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 11:19:24 PM PDT

          •  duh. but it's always on in my mind.... nt

            by thisniss on Sun Mar 02, 2008 at 08:39:26 AM PDT

•  I agree, may as well

  leave the diary up, so many diaries here are much shorter/have less of a point.  Since so many people automatically assumed she stood people up, they may as well know she didnt.
  She did a great job tonight on SNL, she looked relaxed and was FUNNY!

•  SNL slammed Obama tonight in the first skit

  and later in a cartoon. It was not funny at all and irresponsible.

  by Gorette on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:31:10 PM PDT

  •  GE wants hrc

    and tina fey is a hrc supporter. extremely fucking irresponsible behavior for a network and business as usual.

    by GANJA on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:34:13 PM PDT

    •  This would be the same GE that employs...

      ...Tim Russert?

      Corporate America plays both sides whenever possible.  GE included.

      by JR on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:58:05 PM PDT

    •  is she working for SNL?

      by nycstray on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:05:11 PM PDT

  •  I didn't find it too funny, objectively

    but the message was clear.  It was standard political humor, etc.

    They're not a news outfit, so I guess they can lambast any politician they desire without compromising their show, really.

    I'm an Obama supporter, btw.

•  A one minute existence

  for this comment. Hello everyone. Hey, Hillary can be funny!

•  is it like mission impossible?

  this diary will self-destruct in 5 seconds...

  by solesse413 on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:34:08 PM PDT

•  I didn't delete it...

  ...as it turned out this diary hadn't filled out its living will information correctly, and so my hands are sort of tied.

  •  Bwahaha

    by mayan on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:50:05 PM PDT

    •  We need Bill Frist...

      to make a telediagnosis

      by mayan on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:50:46 PM PDT

•  IMO she should have.

  The Hillary Love was so one-sided on SNL that there will be an Obama support backlash.  You heard it here first.

  by Crashing Vor on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 09:49:21 PM PDT

  •  or maybe this

    was backlash for all the one-sided Obama support!!! da da DAAAAA!!!! freaky!  Like the "Chicken and the Egg"!!

    by hopefulcanadian on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:09:37 PM PDT

    •  Whatever the belief of Clinton supporters,

      my sense is that voters in Texas and, to a lesser degree, Ohio will look at tonight's SNL and say, "Of course New York City folks support her."

      No matter what SNL writers and performers think, I believe the candidate did herself no favors in the middle-of-the-continent states tonight.

•  I will say this:

  Darrell Hammond's Russert is on-the-money.

  by jazzmaniac on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:09:21 PM PDT

  •  everything he does

    is on the money, even his Jesse Jackson, he's a great cast-member.

    by hopefulcanadian on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:10:20 PM PDT

    •  And the guy who played Brian Williams

      was pretty accurate as well.
      Has there ever been anyone who epitomized the phrase "empty suit" more than Brian Williams?

      by jazzmaniac on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:16:15 PM PDT

      •  actually

        BriWi was pretty funny himself on SNL, he had the New Jersey accent down on LOCK.. I was pretty impressed.  

        by hopefulcanadian on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:27:44 PM PDT

•  good call;

  Looks like that was last season, not this season.

  by pb on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:48:54 PM PDT

•  People relax. Obama has the SNL crowd locked

  up. It's a bunch of young folks. Hillary can't touch this demographic.

  Fear not.

  by gregoryjames on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:51:13 PM PDT

•  Obama's "one speech" vs Hillary's "one vote"

  So Hillary says today:

  "His (Obama's) entire campaign is based on one speech he gave at an anti-war rally in 2002," Clinton said of the Illinois senator. "And I give him credit for making the speech, but the speech was not followed up with action, which is part of the pattern we have seen repeatedly—a lot of talk, little action."

  Hillary, your failure as a democratic nominee is based on one vote which took our country into an unnecessary war. And this is part of a pattern we have seen repeatedly - bad decisions, lot's of talk trying to squirm you way out of them.
