Hillary: "I Will Be Making No Decisions Tonight"
Hillary's speech tonight certainly wasn't a concession speech at all. Check out this line from it:
"This has been a long campaign. And I will be making no decisions tonight."
She directed supporters to go to HillaryClinton.com and asked folks to share their thoughts about what she should do next.
And if you thought the campaign would end tomorrow, Hillary said this:
"In the coming days, I will be consulting with party leaders to determine how to move forward."
In the coming days?
Hillary basically gave a middle-finger to everyone telling her to get out. I don't know how long this posture will last, but that's what it is right now.

The fact that you're proud that your loser candidate is making such an ass out of herself speaks volumes.
Or are you McCain troll like rstepped-on?

For my part, I was looking for more. I was looking for a conciliatory statement along the lines of: "My opponent has prevailed; its time to close ranks and start working together to put a Democrat in the White House".
In other words, I was looking for a statement that would have shown real leadership.

I wonder if you actually pronounce the infix as you wrote it here.
I would've thought (and say myself much more naturally): Unbefuckinglievable.
At any rate, I didn't expect much more than this from Hon. Sen. Clinton.

When she consults with party leaders, she ain't gonna like what they tell her.

Among her questions:
"So I'm something like ninety-fifth in the line of succession to the Presidency, right? Do you think I could get all of them into one room somewhere?"
"Are you absolutely sure the superdelegates have heard my 'popular vote' argument? Did we send them all the DVD with Wright's sermons? Do they know a lot of people in Appalachia won't vote for him because he's black? Did anyone make sure all the superdelegates know he's black?"
"Okay, come on, guys. You got me! Where's the camera? Is this that show with Ashton what's-his-name? You know, you almost had me convinced, but I'm entitled. Right? I'm entitled?"

She made it clear: She won't settle for less than VP. Or else she'll make him miserable.
Of course, she'll make him miserable as VP candidate anyway. So why should he relent?
NO TO HILLARY AS VP!

You guys are so dumb. What does it profit Hillary by being on a losing ticket? All of you dimwits will only blame her when Obama loses. But if she is publically snubbed by Obama and turned down for the VP spot (as she will be because Obama is a Prima donna) A) she won't be expected to work very hard for the losing ticket and B) after she is proven right about Obama, his career will be over and she will have a clear shot at the nomination in 2012.

Well, nice try. Very brave of you. McCain's speech tonight was pathetic, his postions ever-changing, and his moral claim to leadership eroded by his embrace of Bush's imperial presidency.
I can see why you're so bitter.
Try to come up with something new by tomorrow, though, will you. You're getting boring.

OH, right; first of all Obama will blow McCain out of the water. Can you imagine them in a debate? With no teleprompter? It will be embarassing, but maybe McCain will actually live long enough to be defeated.
2012? Yeah, people will be clamoring to donate to Hillary after her behavior this time. Maybe she can write another book and finance it totally herself. I wouldn't be surprised. Besides, why would she run? She will probably convince herelf that she won the nomination AND the election. Bill will have to build a fake oval office and Camp David just to keep her settled down.
2012? You have GOT to be kidding.

How is Obama going to blow McCain out of the water when he can't even win the primary states that he should be winning at this point as the presumptive nominee? Don't tell me about polls because polls mean absolutely nothing at this stage. What matters is how people are actually voting, and it's obvious now that Obama peaked months ago. The Wright controversy and other things he's said about "bitter" Christians has had an effect, and it will have even more effect as Republicans keep drilling it into voters.

Wrong, it is old news. Actually as Obama said, Hillary has made him stronger for the general.
Besides it was a hard fought race between two formidable democratic candidates.
Once it is Dem against Republican it is a whole different ballgame. With all of the corruption and cronyism? Hell McCain had the architect of the home mortgage crises as his economic advisor!!!!
Sorry...no one, not even republicans will vote for McCain. (they hate him) He's had the field to himself so far, as our nominating battle has gone on, and has not taken any criticism at all. JUST WAIT! Obama had to be nice to a fellow dem. He won't be with McSame.

Yeah, you say he can't even win the states he should be holding, but then say don't tell me about polls.
You're just a McCain troll douchebag, and you've never even denied it, OK? You're a two-bit fucktard asswipe, who needs to go piss himself some more because the candidate you wanted to run against has finally lost.

What a troll, hillary is pathetic in her attempts to force her way into being the vp. IF hell were to freeze over and mclame were elected, she would never be elected to anything ever again.
Obama is going to show why he deserves the nomination and why he is going to win in november.
Onus is all on her, will she act like a child or an adult? So far I only see that she thinks the clintons somehow are above everyone, and just like she thought the nomination should be handed, this sore loser is standing there once again with her hands wide open.

So in other words, you're telling us McCain will be a stronger candidate agianst Obama than Hillary was? McCain will do a better job of making the case that he's more qualified than Obama than Hillary was able to make?
McCain is a better camapaigner than Hillary? Is that what you're telling us?

You fucking McCain troll. Hillary is the biggest prima donna on earth. You were banking on running against her in November and taking advantage of it. Well, you failed.

I think you probably have it right.

Disagree. Seriously, how many times has she told us herself that she is going to keep pressing this. And how many times has everyone said "Well, this is it. She has no way to win now. Expect her to concede soon." As Atrios would say, "Na ga happen"

Mmmmm...nope. I have a feeling that Hillary's going to demand the Veep spot. And Obama will not cave to that. She's going to make this as ugly as she can possibly make it. And it will destroy her.

I have been saying for months that she was incapable of exiting gracefully, though I was hoping that, in the end, she could do the right thing.
Apparently not.
Does anyone need another sign of her flawed character? This is just pitiful. One couldn't imagine a more sore loser.
Loser, indeed ...
June 3, 2008 9:57 PM | Reply | Permalink
So hold it... she positioned herself as the candidate who could take that 3am call and make the tough decision... but she wants people to go to her site and tell her what to do? I'm confused...
(sarcasm off)

She doesn't give a shit what people tell her to do; she just said that so she can then say that she is taking it to Denver because that is what her people told her to do.
She'll probably have a quote from a young mother, dying of cancer who said, "Hillary, you have to do this one for the gipper --- oops! I mean for my young daugher who needs a role model now that I am dying."
Or from an eagle scout who sold his only bicycle to donate to her campaign because, "Obi Wan Kanobi, You're our only hope --- ooops! I mean, Hillary, if it's not you we might have to have that black dude in there, and I still think he is a secret muslim. (Just like you really do)"
Oh, yeah. One thing about Hill is that she is truly predictable once you figure out her MO. She really will HAVE NO CHOICE but to listen to the will of the people --> the people she wants to listen to, that is.

Exactly. I'm sure she wants to take it to Denver. And if the party leader doesn't really harshly slap that idea down, she will.

But, she won't take direction from the SuperDels. They will move to support Obama, but she will still refuse to concede. She will go to the Convention, insisting that she has the popular support and deserves the nomination.

this is not how i read it. i read it as a dignified way to bow out while leaving options (vp, others) open and keeping her million supporters in the loop.

The only people more craven than Hillary in the Democratic party are the Supers who won't declare for Obama after hearing that load of crap. Unity my ass. Clinton wants Obama to lose to McCain. Yes, I really believe that.

i agree. beyond being selfish, she missed an opportunity to concede here. It is not quiting when you get pushed out. There is something to be said for walking away from a fight you have lost on your own terms. Also, this crap about her having "won" the popular vote irritates me for (a) its untruth and (b) for the asterisk it puts on Senators obama's win. This was a close race. We had two awesome candidates to chose from. However there has to be ONE winner. Oh, and BTW someone should tell Hillary that she has been running for 18 months for PRESIDENT. NOT for vice.

I just want to let everybody know, for historical reference, that June 3 was the day the week-long Zoot Suit Riots began, when a mob of 60 from the Los Angeles Naval Reserve Armory beat up everyone perceived to be Hispanic.
I just automatically think of June 3 as Zoot Suit Riot Day, in case that ever pops up in conversation and it seems inexplicable or inappropriate to you.
That's just how I remember it's June 3.
So don't freak out or make a big deal out of it if I bring it up.
