Shit and shinola.
Bert and Ernie
Dumb and Dumber
1) It was some of the loudest hardline Clinton spokespeople (sounds like Ickes and McAuliffe) who arranged for her Senate supporters to bluntly tell her this afternoon to get out now
2) Jonathan Alter on Hardball said Lanny Davis thought petitions for this were a terrible idea
3) The Obama campaign has already said if she is vetted, Bill's donors list needs to be made public, and Bill has said absolutely no, so the idea is a non-starter.
None of this is definitive, but it is what is being reported.
If he is so skilled a politician (he is)
If his staff is so amazing(apparently they are)
if he has clinched the nomination(he has)
WHY DO YOU NOT TRUST HIM TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR THE USA?
newbies just do not understand politics.
Are you referring to me or to her supporters.
I know that she is in serious debt but her website is still asking supporters to stand by her and to contribute to her campaign. So, basically she is taking money away from her hardworking supporters and her debt will get paid off without taking $25 donations.
Yet, SHE won't say she wants to be VP herself because that would give the impression that she believes Obama won the chance to be president fair and square.
I don't believe for a minute she wants to be VP, and I also don't think Obama is even really contemplating her seriously, as nice as he is. Michelle would have none of it, I believe.
But I guess you Obamites do not really trust Obama to do what is best.
they got no where else to go.
Though she could have threatened Obama by mentioning JFK too, and I just haven't heard about it.
Hell, she probably threatened him using MLK's name as well.
She was obviously trying to conflate herself with the name Kennedy, she had done it before, it was a "talking point." (I loathe that word.) She was trying to get the names together into duller heads, hers with theirs, and went for a bullshit historical analogy and for some reason the Gods of Irony struck and turned her conflation and confabulation into a deeper and darker truth. ANd it looked like a Freudian Slip. THAT'S WHY TALK OF ASSASSINATION IS TABOO! It ALWAYS will impugn the character of the one who invokes it, providing they have one.
But what I think is the worst is that she chose to ignore the traditional ban on talking about that sort of thing, ignoring it for her own aggrandizement at the same time trying to associate herself with the very family involved and that family's power and reputation. That might go over others' heads but if I were a Kennedy, (I am not,) that would frost me 'till the end of Time and then some.
It's not the "threat" but the grasping calculated selfish name dropping IN CONTEXT. Followed of course by no real acknowledgment nor apology, then denial.
any weather at all, and another storm brewing;
I hear it sing i' the wind: yond same black
cloud, yond huge one, looks like a foul
bombard that would shed his liquor. If it
should thunder as it did before, I know not
where to hide my head: yond same cloud cannot
choose but fall by pailfuls.
--The Tempest, Act 2, Scene 2
• Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. More people voted for her than any candidate in American history.
• She won states that represent 308 electoral votes. Obama’s wins yield only 224. It takes 270 to become president.
• She won all of the big states and swing states Democrats must win in November.
• She polls ahead of Obama against McCain in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, and Michigan, states critical to a Democratic victory this fall.
Please lobby super delegates for Clinton

I know you people don't like me; but don't you have the common sense to understand that hundreds of millions are at stake and that Bill and Hillary have to have some "hand" on the wheel of power?

dont stop
it will soon be here
Hasta la vista!

She's "suspending" and still wants her delegates to vote for her at the convention. Of course they hasten to add that it's NOT for a floor fight or anything like that , but rather to symbolize what she accomplished.
We know that whenever anyone says 'it's NOT such and such', it most always IS 'such and such'.
I'm with Rachel Maddow on this one. I'm not convinced.
What do they call that? A head fake? That's what hillary is pulling.
The ABC article that I linked says "concede." Since I wrote that comment I've read other news that say "suspend." CNN (I think it was, maybe not) reports she will suspend and reserves the right to have her votes from the convention floor; Drudge says "concede." There are even conflicting reports about whether or not her announcement will be Friday or Saturday as ABC says, some news sites saying the Saturday event is for her campaign workers and for "party unity."
Whatever the truth, she do all in her power to have the spotlight until the very last moment.
Andrea Mitchell, who covers the Clinton camp, was reporting to Dan Abrams via phone and said that about Hillary wanting her delegates to vote for her at the convention....
I DON'T trust the Clintons, and I was a staunch supporter and defender of both of them (mostly Bill) ---UNTIL this campaign. Now I can't help but wonder if they really did remove furniture from the White House.
It is evident from all this (I am sure most is true) that Clinton had no intention of getting out, she was going to convention. I think with all the pressure she is out for good.
I just don't trust them (Clintons) at all.
I agree that she had all intentions of taking this to Denver....and I still believe that. I just think she toned it down for now, and is quietly waiting for the "why'd he" tape to emerge.
The phone calls today have forced her out, probably all the way out.
But who would be surprised by anything she may do?
So much has been revealed during this campaign. The Clinton good name is gone now, forever I hope, as well it should be. Soon they will begin their rehabilitation attempts, but I will never forget or forgive what I have learned about this duo. In the coming years I will do what I can to help rid the Senate of her. Neither should ever again be in our government.
Jeeeez, Hillary is starting to get irritating.
So now with both the Friday and Saturday events, she gets at least 2 more times in the spotlight.
