AMERICAblog: Hillary's campaign isn't dead, it's resting!

  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    And I'll bet none of the caption writers bothered to mention that Hillary was waving to cameramen and an aide versus supporters.

    Obama/Webb

    How about a football analogy?

    It is a 42-0 with 2 minutes left in the game, and the losing team finally scores a touchdown to avoid a shutout.

    The scoring player breaks out into an elaborate dance in the end zone, taunting the defense, who ignore him and just point to the score board.

    I have lost all respect for Hillary. This is over get over it and move on. Its time to unite the party and go after all republicans. We had a big win in Mississippi, a dem beat out a republican...way to go dems...the republicans have nothing left to offer. Bush and the republicans have destroyed our country and its time for new blood. OBAMA...OBAMA...OBAMA....

    you can't lose what you never had, any more than you return from somewhere you haven't been.

    Bob Cesca:

    Senator Obama may have only won 26% of the vote, but it's not so bad if you look at it this way...

    In West Virginia's Republican primary back in February, Senator McCain only won 1% of the vote.

  • Bill W. · 1 year ago
    The cable news bobbleheads keep saying that Obama won't be able to win WV in Nov because he only got 26%.

    Why do they think McCain will be able to beat him when McCain only got 1% in WV? Someone needs to throw that in their face big time.
  • Bill W. · 1 year ago
    Obama has won 17 contests by 20 points or more. Hillary has won 2. Arkansas and West Virginia.

    Are there no blue-collar, white-working class people in Iowa, Maryland, Virginia, Vermont, Kansas, Washington, Delaware, and the 30+ states that Barack won?

    Or, in these 30+ states that Barack won, are there only high-class, surburban people of leisure, college graduates and African-Americans?

    And, is that what Someone wants us to believe — that in the 30+ states Barack has won, that there are no blue-collar, white-working class people in any of those states? I thought that white people were a majority in America, not a minority. I don't think we should allow ourselves to be Fooled Again!
  • Bill W. · 1 year ago
    Yeah, good point. Here in KS where I live Obama only beat Clinton 74% to 26%.
    This state is every bit as blue collar and white as WV.
  • 57andFemale · 1 year ago
    "Eggheads and African Americans". When Paul Begala said that, the party should have stepped and had every super in Obama's camp endorse and get this over with. This is not a Democratic Party I want to be part of if they accept that kind of b.s.
  • grandma · 1 year ago
    two remaining superdelegates from the youth vote demographic decided to support Mr. Obama. Lauren Wolfe and Awais Khaleel, president and vice president of the College Democrats of America, made their official statement via a YouTube video.

    "Even Clinton loyalist James Carville called Obama the likely nominee."
    Then what exactly is she doing?
  • BorninUSA · 1 year ago
    Oh the magic of television! We are made to believe that Hillary is surrounded by cheering fans. When probably the only fans are the ones we actually see behind her with no-one in front of her.

    I have always wondered who Bush is constantly waving at when his heliocoptor lands on the White House grounds. Is it the dog? Is it the guy who mows the grass? Maybe the Secret Service who preceded him off the heliocoptor. Doubt if it is Laura, is she glad he is home again? Who are these mysterious, unseen people?

    So what the media wants us to believe is hundreds of screaming supporters is more likely a handful of people.

  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    what a pathetic end.

    now, who's the best vp for Obama?
    there are things about Jim Webb i don't like...
    i can't remember them right now, though.
    more coffee.
  • Anarchnid · 1 year ago
    I am from VA and a fan of Webb, but he did/said some sexist things... 30 years ago.
    He has written bills that are great for troops.
    He stayed in congress while the rest took time off so W couldn't appoint people in their absence.
    He would be my choice. Edwards would be good too, but I think Webb would help take votes from McCain.

    Milbanks story is right on the mark.

    Hillary has ceased to be a candidate, she is an ex- Democratic candidate. We should refer to her as the former Democratic candidate. The Clinton's- a former President and a former Democratic candidate. They are the formers.
  • 57andFemale · 1 year ago
    Stay vigilant until MI and FL are decided FAIRLY. If they are not decided fairly, then we have to stay vigilant for a long time because we'll have our work cut out for us.

    But cynical me is starting to let myself believe this is very close to done. Thank God.
  • quark · 1 year ago
    Argh!!!

    Clinton won IN by 1.1%. Why do lazy news critters keep saying she won by 2%. If you're going to round it is 1%. I know it's not a big deal, but these fools are allegedly professionals who report on politics all the time. Why can't ANY of them get this right?
  • 57andFemale · 1 year ago
    Actually .8% after provisional ballots were counted. Milbank is sloppy and/or slanted when it comes to facts like these. That being said, this is a great article today.
  • Milli · 1 year ago
    I hate that smile and wave she gives when she sees that "old friend" in the crowd. Can she be anymore annoying and transparent?
  • Pangolin · 1 year ago
    "I hate that smile and wave she gives when she sees that "old friend" in the crowd. Can she be anymore annoying and transparent?"

    Just be glad you're not hearing her crow-like squawking. Whatever it is she really wants to say it's killing her not to say it.
  • moxiegrrrl · 1 year ago
    I just find Clinton pretending to wave at throngs of supporters when in fact she's waving to photographers and an aide just creepy-odd.
  • Dave of the Jungle · 1 year ago
    Why doesn't she give a speech in front of a backdrop that says "Strategy for Success."?

    "Plan for Victory" is hot, too.

    Perhaps we need to call on that coroner from The Wizard of Oz.

    As Coroner , I thoroughly examined her
    And she's not only merely dead
    She's really most sincerely dead

    OK, not original with me... but I MUST Pass it On .

    "Surrender Hillary" -

    Someone should actually pay a sky writer to do this at an upcoming HRC outdoor speech.
    I'll contibute money towards it!
  • John Aravosis · 1 year ago
    We were going to do this to Dr. Laura and paramount vs the stopdrlaura campaign - write Surrender Paramount (or Surrender Laura) over the paramont studios

    Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.

    But nonetheless is pretty damned funny.... Of course Python's "Black Knight" pretty well covers this as well.
  • naschkatzehussein · 1 year ago
    Sometimes you can glean a bit of information from your worst enemy. I read a comment by Karl Rove on Sully's site in which he pointed out that Obama is winning the states he needs to win, and the ones he is losing don't particular matter. This was a reference to Clinton's big win in WV last night. Rove said that WV is 10th among states which are losing population, and while it had 8 electoral votes back in 1963, today it only has 5.
  • mr_ed · 1 year ago
    Okay, she netted eight delegates. Obama reached into his bag of dozens he's already put away, and got another two to announce today. Evidently, he'll leak a couple every day until it's over in a gentle way,
  • bunnyjump · 1 year ago
    One word for Clinton - delusional.
  • MorgaineSwann · 1 year ago
    I actually heard some pundit on CNN last night say that the voters of WV "heard all the pundits and still voted for Hillary." That's absolutely NOT true. Very few people in Appalachia pay attention to national news. Parts of this area don't even get MSNBC on their cable system. The vast majority of people here pay no attention at all to politics. The local news they might actually watch repeats lies and misquotes of Obama daily.

    The people in WV voted their prejudices and the rumors they've heard about Obama in their churches, as will the people of Kentucky next week, even though our Lt. Governor has endorsed Obama. If he doesn't campaign in the Eastern part of the state, his only chances for any significant margin of votes is in Louisville and Lexington.
  • Pangolin · 1 year ago
    C'mon, they voted their skin color and everybody knows it. This is the poorest, most under-educated state in the nation and whatever their native smarts might be reading the blogs just isn't on the radar.

    The view from California is that this little hole shouldn't even be a state. We've got more people in any of twelve counties and more area in several counties also. The fact that West Virginia gets the same number of Senate seats as California shows just what a farce American "democracy" is.
