Zero Hour for Hillary - she concedes tonight!

Breaking news! She'll give a speech tonight acknowledging Obama has the delegates to win the nomination. How will KIRK1ADM celebrate?

 

Finally.

Probably a highly amusing Obama/Osama avatar.

 

Praise Black Jeebus!

I'll wait and see what she actually says as to me she's not given up until she actually quits.

 

Fuck! I was hoping this would go all the way to the convention.

 

you may get your wish

from cnn's home page.

 

I read in the paper that some of her staff had been told that they weren't needed after this week, that others had been asked to get all expenses claims finished off.
And Bill Clinton said that it might be his last day campaigning.

 

Only logical, whether or not she was conceding or dropping out - the primaries are over after today. There's no more states to try to swing.

I still don't put it past her to take it all the way to the convention, drop out and run independent, or both.

 

I'll do a couple of shooters in her honor.

I have to admit, I will be truly surprised if she does quit. Although not shocking after Bill's speech yesterday. I have to admit, I couldn't stop laughing at that speech.

 

Three days from now we'll have a Flashlight thread, "Hillary to fight all the way to the convention!"

 

I'm hoping for a convention floor brawl. Something to relieve the tedium.

 

Awwwww . . . I wanted a bloodbath at the convention.

Darn.

 

I'm very sad for all the righties that have been memorizing the 'helpful talking points' (courtesy of Karl Rove) against HITLERY!!!!!!!! for the last year. Now they need to improvise Obama/Osama lines and calling him Hussein

 

Your best chance of that is to tune in to watch Ron Paul's supporters the first week of September. The way they've been trying to take over various state delegations means they're gearing up for a brawl. A major fight over, for example, an Iraq war plank to the platform is well within the realm of possibility. While Clinton will certainly have some unhinged supporters at the convention, and while Clinton is likely to make noise about fighting at the convention every time the "liberal" press beats the drums of a Reverend Wright type of story, I doubt Clinton or her core supporters will fight a floor fight they can't win.

And I'm even more sure that you're more likely to see McCain and Paul supporters take literal swings at each other at the Republican convention than to see fists start flying at the Democratic convention if that's the kind of brawl you meant.

 

Don't be sad. The wonderful thing about complete fantasy is that it transfers from one opponent to the other. They've already, for example, started making the laughable talking points about Obama being the most liberal Senator, a direct transfer of their usual reality-challenged blather about Clinton.

 

Ah, good.

Of course they don't realize that 'liberal' suddenly isn't a swear word any more.

 

Obama's voting record in the Illinois state senate speaks volumes for just how left leaning the man truly is. It is your own fault if you have been unable to review that record with any type of objectivity. It isn't as if you are an unbiased opinion on Obama considering your blind allegiance to the man.

 

Hillary's staffers are now emphatically denying this story, BTW.

 

they're probably still hoping for bonuses.

 

Much the way you're transferring your usual reality-challenged blather about Bush over onto McCain?

And anyway, aren't you one of the guys who's been telling us that Clinton and Obama aren't really all that far apart on most points? So wouldn't arguments against Clinton also be mostly valid against Obama as well?

 

What it sounds like is that she'll concede that Obama currently has the delegates to win, perhaps make noise about the importance of Democrats supporting whoever gets the nomination, and she'll lay off the public attacks of Obama, but she will still try to sway superdelegates behind the scenes and she won't formally drop out and endorse Obama just yet.

Anyway, we'll know soon enough.

 

So? We had eight wonderful years full of ultra right wing policies. Time to move the pendulum.

 

There have been no "ultra right" policies for the past eight years Cass. Well except maybe by the standards of an Austrian woman that has nothing but hate and dislike for the United States and its leader.

 

They don't want to suppress voters in MT and SD today.

 

Wow, there's tons of these out there...

 

It's 'Führer', not leader. Führer.

 

Headlines are now screaming that Obama has clinched the necessary number of delegates, and he is now the presumptive nominee.

 

more screaming:

Hillary Clinton tells New York lawmakers she is open to being Barack Obama's running mate, The Associated Press reports.

never say never...
