Sun rises in the east! Rays fall on HRC's house first? We'll report it when we know!

---Your TPM Election Central staff

Huh? Who cares? I thought they were all taking a break because they were too tired - clinton code for don't help obama, we're going for 2012.

Oh, I got another headline for you greg. Obama only leads mcbush by 19 points in NY, Clinton needed on the ticket!!!! NY in jeapordy without the clintons. OOOOHHHH NOOOOO!

One other thing on the alleged sexist coverage. I heard a woman pundit complaining about the use of clinton's first name by the media. Claimed it was sexist. Too funny.

Hillary who?

I received another appeal for contributions from her campaign, moments ago, in the guise of fotos from the campaign.

It doesn't matter, the majority of her fundraisers aren't waiting for her to give the green light to support Obama, most everyone has already come over to Obama. Furthermore, Obama has shown he doesn't need them. So I don't think this call is all that important. She is probably just going to hit them up to pay off her debts to herself.

I'm told by a Clinton source that she will be using the call to urge her top fundraisers to throw their energy behind Obama.

I'll be adding that as an update to the post soon.

"A source"? who would that be ;-)

I just received this note from Hillary:

Dear John,
Together, you and I changed America forever. We touched so many lives over the course of this campaign, and I can't thank you enough for the support you showed me. I met so many wonderful people out on the trail, and I wanted to share some of those memories with you.
I hope you'll take a moment to view our online album with some favorite photos from the campaign.
Thank you so much -- I'll be in touch soon.
Sincerely,
Hillary Rodham Clinton

Will keep you informeda as new details come in

FULL DISCLOSURE - On the day she quit, I gave Hillary ten bucks to help repair my political karma

Yeah we don't want to hear anything about coming events so no more talk about the election just come back and give us the results when available.

LOL.

I swear this is bizarro-TPM.

I think Greg, and Eric, should let the Clinton stories lie for awhile. The reason being all the animosity that it still stirs up. Look down a couple postings to the post about the media and the candidates. 237, mostly angry posts on that one. Greg and Eric should do like Clinton and lie low. She's staying out of the spotlight and they should let her. It's still too soon. It's too soon for post-mortems on the campaign, too soon to rehash the fucked up shit that went on, and too in the moment to make "will she or won't she" speculations.

Focus on Obama and McCain. Yes, things might be going on with Clinton, but it is just too soon.

Stop. picking. at. the. scabs.

thanks

Greg, could we get a full transcript of this meeting when it takes place?

there are also no posts about what Hillary is doing from now until Wednesday. please keep us updated to her schedule in those intervening days, preferably a single post at a time so we could get the full impact of just how hard-working she is.

remember, Greg, that no detail of Hillary Clinton's life and goals is too small for us to pass over. everything she does is significant and newsworthy. this goes DOUBLE when you include all the things you would expect a losing candidate to do for the presumptive nominee of their party. she should get EXTRA credit for doing all of the things she's supposed to do, like telling her supporters to raise money for the nominee.

maybe an extra post is in order to analyze how much credit she is receiving from the media for doing what she is expected to do already?

Don't you dare Hillary!!

We will not vote for that FRAUD obama!@!

Dammit!! We will not support him !

You shouldn't do that Hillary!!

No.. look, I want to know that the call is taking place, what I don't want is the ridiculous speculation. I expect that from the MSM but not Talking Points Memo. Of coarse she is going to speak highly of Obama and encourage them to throw money behind him. As memory serves she has done this already.

I was as anti-Hillary as anybody because of the kind of campaign she had run but at this point we all know what's going on. She is taking it all in and accepting things and is beginning work for Obama. Get off her back.

I'm actually happy to hear what she's up to. I didn't like the "analysis" of Hillary's media coverage - that was BS on so many levels, but at least this is a factoid. It probably could have waited until the call actually occurred though (now Greg is going to get flamed for reporting the actual results of the call tomorrow).

Personally, I was wondering if she was MIA. I didn't expect her to hit the trail with Obama, but it really felt like she whipped up all this hate and anger, gave a quickie speech, and left all that angst just floating. It sort of seemed like she wasn't doing diddly/squat to help Obama deal with it. If that's not the case than I'm glad to hear it.

Greg: IMO, you are suffering a backlash from this morning's ... uummmm ... you know .... "analysis" (as well you should)

All this baying at the moon is vacuous and tiresome.

One of my favorite things in the world is watching everyone here beat up on poor Greg like he's the scrawny kid in the 3d grade dodgeball game who everybody's after because he throws like a girl and pees sitting down. Invariably, Greg will chime in with some earnest sounding defense along the lines of "aww, come on you guys! I'm just trying to do some reporting here, and besi -- hey!! Give me my lunch money back!!"

In reality, poor Greg's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't because all the Obamamaniacs here are just looking for a Hillary surrogate with an actual face that they can antagonize. Anyway, it's a thoroughly enjoyable routine -- keep it up everybody!

I think we're missing the fact that Greg has good "sources" in the Hillary campaign and hates to waste them, even though the campaign itself is extinct. What's the point of getting reports from your contacts if you're not going to get any use out of them?

So it's understandable that every third or fourth item on Election Central is about a candidate who is no longer in a race that many of us consider to be -- entirely apart from the Clintons -- the most crucial in generations. (Though, if one wanted to meddle in Greg's career strategy, one might suggest that all the effort might be better applied to cultivating sources in the two ongoing campaigns, the choice between which is going to decide the fate of many.)

Seems like a valid news item to me. The Obama people have been thrashing over "what will Hillary do? what does Hillary want?" for weeks. Now we start to see some reporting of the answers and the O'bots carp, with too much protest, that Hillary gets too much attention (wee bit insecure about O, are we?). Imagine if weeks past and nothing was heard from Hillary's camp. You can hear it now: "Why aren't you reporting on Hillary just sitting on her rump while O needs party unity? Typical Hillary, typical TPM, covering up for Hillary - in the tank for her - knew it all along."

O people: lighten up, your guy won and will be president, probably. Hopefully, Hillary will be his VP.

Unhinged!
