Clinton Speaks #3

Spelling Markos for a bit here....

Clinton: Full speed onto the White house!

Ummmm ... all right.

Gas price, gas price, gas price.

"I can assure you I will work for the nominee of the party in November."

And CNN changes Indiana from "Too Early to Call" to "Too Close to Call," for what it's worth.

    Vote Obama - TI$A - Imma Vote Obama Way

    Taz Arnold (AKA TI$A), front man to underground hip-hop super group Sa-Ra formerly signed to Grammy award winning artist Kanye West's label Good Music, launches his solo career and dedicates his first single and accompanying celebrity filled music video, "Vote Obama" in support of democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama. Kanye West, Jay Z, Chris Brown, Travis Barker, Shepard Fairey, and Apple of The Black Eyed Peas are among some of the celebrities, artists, and tastemakers that make a cameo

    •  Pablano says NC surpasses PA

      9:49 PM. Clinton's margin in Pennsylvania: 214,224 votes. Obama's margin in North Carolina with 13 percent of the vote yet to be counted: 204,419 votes. The remaining vote in North Carolina looks to me to be pretty representative of the state as a whole, so he will likely finish with a win in the 230,000 vote range.

              That's about a third of what I've given Obama.  If he wants to use some of it that way, I'm okay with it.

            •  Well no kidding

              hey, the money I contributed to the OBAMA campaign during the primary was principally to support him competing AGAINST AHillaca the Hun's constant underhanded attacks, as well as just normal campaigning.  

              I DO NOT want to see the money I gave for this cause to be used to pay back Hillary the $5 million she loaned her self, or to pay the consultant fees for those jerks Ickes and Penn.  Sorry, but I need those few hundred bucks more than those people do.

    1. She congratulated Barack for NC

    and

    2. She said she would support the nominee.

          commend defined:

          1. to present, mention, or praise as worthy of confidence, notice, kindness, etc.; recommend: to commend a friend to another; to commend an applicant for employment.  

          2. to entrust; give in charge; deliver with confidence: I commend my child to your care.  

          3. to cite or name with approval or special praise: to commend a soldier for bravery.

          •  Notice

            that in all 3 of the definitions, the one commending is in a "superior" position to the one being commended.

            You commend a student, a child, a protege....

              she'll lose soon enough.  I don't care whether she bows and scrapes, even though she is the arrogant one.

              Simply acknowledging the obvious is a good start with that one.

        •  Close enough

          I think the real issue is that she was kind of backhanded in saying she would work for the nominee - she said Obama feels the same way, implying that she still has an equal chance to get the nomination.

        kills her with the supers.

        She can't have it both ways.

        She'll take WV and Kentucky so she can maximize her leverage and get more influence on the next administration, but she's not going to win.

        Everyone knows it, even her.

      by hienmango on Tue May 06, 2008 at 08:22:57 PM PDT

      •  She's maximizing

        her electoral take.

        Who knows where she's going exactly, but it is probably to get her allies and friends into the next administration if she can't head it up.

        Or ?  Something else?  Who knows.  Maybe just to try to get money from her part of the base to pay her debts off.

        Doesn't really matter in the end.  Don't let it bug you.

      •  I think it's called "Rope a Dope"

        See :

        http://en.wikipedia.org/...

        Rachel Maddow said something not exactly this, but she raised the point, amidst everyone else's comments about how 'pleasant' HRC's speech was, that HRC's campaign's actions are more relevant than what HRC is saying at a moment when she might have been hard pressed to adopt any other tone than she did.

        Specifically, that her campaign was making noises about taking it to the rules and bylaws committee, trying to force something through on MI and FL.  

        I think she makes a good point -- I mean HRC has given little to no indication thusfar that she would do anything BUT continue to burn down the house to either get what she wanted or everybody die from her trying.  Why all of a sudden should she have a change of heart.  I think non freekin way.  She's saying tonight what she has to say -- she ain't giving up.  She didn't go through everything she's done so far to just toss it in. Maybe she'll ride out the remaining primaries with some honor, but don't be fooled that if there is an opening she won't take it.

        If I was Obama, I wouldn't conced or give her one GD inch until the Inauguration is completed and he's been in office at least three months.

        by DrunkenLemur on Tue May 06, 2008 at 08:58:44 PM PDT

    I want Obama to win, I voted for him, but I have to hand it to Hillary.  She and Bill are excellent politicians and represent my values.  

    Its clear to me she has accepted Obama has won the nomination by her "I will help the nominee" comment.

    Lets stop gloating and start giving her the respect she deserves.  More importantly, its time to unify behind Obama and win the general election, which we most certainly will.

    to keep the donations flowing in and chip away at the mountain of debt.

    That's what her campaign has become-a game of three-card-monte played on those who've supported her and Bill for decades in the face of great abuse.

    They deserve better from her. Too bad they won't get it.

        •  Twenty-five percent want a third Bush term.

          Probably even fewer if delivered by a 72-year-old man.  And a cock-up war in Iran isn't going to make any difference.

          It's realignment time.  Obama wins at least 425 electorals against McCain.

          by Mogolori on Tue May 06, 2008 at 08:17:37 PM PDT

          •  That's only 25 percent...

            You forgot to add the people who don't think Obama can do what's necessary and may not bother to vote at all.  In my own personal circle of friends and family, there are a few people who feel that way.

            They're not going to vote for McCain, but they're also not going to vote for Obama.

            •  I think when the smoke of the primary clears

              that there will be innumerable clear, common sense reasons to vote AGAINST McCain and this GOP, even for currently embittered Clintonistas.  There's six months between now and Election Day.  It's been only four months since Iowa.  I'm optimistic, especially because of the kind of campaign Obama is running.

  •  It was a valedictory

    She hardly even pretended to be going forward fighting.    Almost fell out of my chair when I heard an "um", which I've never heard in an Obama election night speech.

    it didn't raise my BP but she really just doesn't connect with me.

    now she's indistinguishable from the Republicans.

    it's not good enough.

•  Guard your parents and grandparents!

  So long as there are still little old ladies to fleece out of their savings, Hillary will remain in the race.

  Once that well runs dry, she will drop. Until then, make sure your elderly relatives don't fall for her scam.

    It's so sad how she's begging for change like that.

      I was originally going to say "senile" implying that she was targeting those of limited mental faculty (or simply uneducated seniors), but opted instead for elderly.

      My apologies if I offended.

  Sounded much more like a concession speech instead of a victory speech.

  Not as much what she said as much as how she said it.

  . . . that CNN switched from "too early to call" to "too close to call'?

  GOBAMA!!

    MSNBC made the move well over an hour ago.

      They probably want to claim "firsties" on calling it

  Matthews.  What a douche he is - Clinton's speech was "charming"?  What part of it was "charming"?  Where did the charm actually enter that speech?

        been away for way too long...finally dipping my toes back in the pond
        life, like this campaign, has been a roller coaster but all is good and i plan on sticking around for awhile again

    •  Hi tlaw!!

      Long time!!  Glad to see you.  I'm actually totally surprised by the media spin on the CLinton speech.  I usually give her props when she's done well, and she's gotten better as the campaign has worn on.  But tonight's speech was almost schizophrenic.  First it was "on to the White House" and "Indiana WAS a tiebreaker" then congratulations to Obama and indications that she would support the nominee THEN it's "count the votes in FL and MI"!!  The mind boggles.

      by RenaRF on Tue May 06, 2008 at 08:03:04 PM PDT

      •  agreed

        she does seem almost schizophrenic...it goes well with that crazy smile and head nod of hers that says "i'm taking way too many psychotropics right now"
