This Is Supposed To Be Obama's Moment

[eleny]

But there's Hillary hogging the spotlight with mixed messages coming out of her campaign a la McAuliffe. Oink.

Will she? Won't she? Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn. It's going to happen for Obama with you or without you!

[hokies4ever]

1. She's hogging the spotlight without even making any real news

The question put out there is essentially rather or not Hillary passed her 5th grade math class.

[damntexdem]

58. But that's going to be harder when the results come in tonight.

Then we can celebrate.

[roguevalley]

61. go to www.americablog.com and read down list to the stories about

her 'quitting', which she isn't. she isn't going to suspend her campaign either apparently. she is going to shiv him to the convention floor and we have to put up with it. she's going for blood and fuck the consequences. I don't have words for what I feel about this and her.

[tabatha]

2. Imagine her negotiating with other countries this way.

Quelle horreur!

I heard an Iranian call one of the Sunday NovaM talk shows, and said that Hillary is mentally unstable - with her Iraq war vote and "obliterate" Iran comment.

She is certainly not showing wisdom and sanity.

[ccharles000]

3. Are you calling Hillary a pig?

If you are it is very disrespectful.

[eleny]

7. Her campaign is hogging the spotlight

It's a colloquial expression. Insert the expression of your own choice, it's all the same to me.

[greguganus]

11. Her campaign is boaring and her popularity has gone sowth. n/t

[hisownpetard]

25. DUzy-worthy!

:hi:

[FredScuttle]

28. "Bacon" your pardon?

Let's not let this discussion devolve into a sausage-fest

[VolcanoJen]

37. Don't be a boar.

;-) :rofl: ;-) :rofl: ;-)

[kdpeters]

64. What a bunch of hams!!

Seriously, this is starting to sound like one of those "Pigs in Space" skits from the Muppet Show.

[VolcanoJen]

39. That is rather porcine of you.

:rofl:

Definitely a DUzy Winner!!!!!

[reflection]

50. Knock it trough.

And quit swining. :)

[damntexdem]

59. And she doesn't have the porcinetage of the delegates that she needs.

And she's going out of sty-le.

[Carolina]

45. if the shoe fits?

she is trying to hog some attention, after all :evilgrin:

[Yes We Did]

47. That's cute... really.

where is your "sarcasm" thingy? you know that is not what op meant.

[still_one]

4. Remember if it wasn't for this primary, we would have never seen the "real" Hillary

[eleny]

9. I'm not talking about the length of the campaign - only this day

[chill_wind]

14. And we're not likely to forget the real one as early as 2012.

Her present followers can bank on that.

[still_one]

16. It is over for Clinton, and they know it. The way they ran this campaign has burnt a lot of bridges

[chill_wind]

22. Gives "Scorched Earth" a whole new meaning. n/t

[graywarrior]

5. I just want to start taking on McCain and the evil republicans.

[eleny]

12. Doggone right!

I'm itching for it. He's been in the background stepping all over the truth without us being able to take him on full force.

[azmouse]

6. Amazing, isn't it?

She has to be dragged from the spotlight. She can't even let Obama have this day to celebrate.

[redstate_democrat]

8. As of right now, she is not conceding.

She is trying to strong arm supers delegates with a threat of going to the CC. Some of her Supers are getting pissed and will switch today. Ya heard it hear first.

[ashling]

10. This is supposed to be America's moment

The whole Obams' moment vs. Hillary's turn syndrome has been part of the problem this primary season. Like John Edwards said (and other's echoed) it's not about them, it's about the people.

[eleny]

15. Oh come on - He's been campaigning over a year and deserves a little hoopla for his effort

[TexasObserver]

13. Like Bill, always has to be the center of attention. This about HER!!

In Hillary's head, it's still all about her. She must be allowed to script the ending, even if she's lost. She is clearly sending mixed signals today. She wants to get the superdelegates who were prepared to put Obama over the top to hold off, so her concession, such as it is, will still have meaning. She doesn't want anyone to think she's conceding, though, so she puts out another story.

I believe she put out the story of conceding he has the delegates tonight to stop the planned announcement by 40 superdelegates that they were putting Obama over the top NOW. I believe the news conference was supposed to do that, but that Hillary made a deal with them to stop them for announcing, provided she put out the story that she would acknowlegde tonight he has the delegates to win the nomination. Then, an hour after they put the story out, they lay down a line of bullshit that seems to counter what she already said.

Hillary is going to be shady to very end. She can't help it. She doesn't have a soul or a conscience.

[eleny]

20. So she's now vying with the SDs for the spotlight...

Reminds me of what people say about politicians - In the middle of the night when they go down to the kitchen for a snack, they open the refrigerator door and give a 5 minute speech.
:rofl:

[Poll_Blind]

17. She's been behaving like a piece of shit for months. And she'll probably continue tonight. n/t

PB

[Bake]

18. It's "his moment" once he gets the magic number. Not before.

He'll probably do that tonight. So what's your problem?

You people have been trying for months to declare this thing OVER before Obama gets to the finish line.

Cue the violins.

Bake

[eleny]

26. Oh I see....

He's so close this morning that it can be tasted - but until he absolutely, positively clinches the nom it's always and every moment all about Hillary.

Cue the Mahler.

[Bake]

55. Until he clinches it, he's not the nominee

He probably WILL be, but until he clinches it, "it ain't over." I don't see what is so hard to understand about that! McLame clinched it on the Puke side fairly early; he got the required number of delegates and then some. Obama hasn't been able to do that. We keep hearing about this "flood of superdelegates" who were coming, any day now, for at least a month or more, and it still hasn't happened.

It looks like now he's finally about to limp across the finish line. Wow. That's some strong candidate you've got there.

Bake

[eleny]

57. Hopefully, your candidate will do more to help you heal...

Until then, here's a little something for you

[Marrah_G]

19. Sorry... "this is supposed ot be Obama's moment"? Says who?

The Drama in here today is really over the top.

[JimGinPA]

23. I'm So Looking Forward To You Congratulating His Supporters When He Does Clinch It...

:rofl:

[greguganus]

24. The delegates? n/t

[eleny]

27. Yeah, the one who wins the nom gets the moment

Next question?

[Marrah_G]

29. Dramatic much? The polls aren't done, he hasn't won yet, so no, this isn't "his moment"

[eleny]

32. Yes, it is dramatic and fun and exciting

That's why they order boat loads of confetti and hire a band and people cheer, dance and celebrate.

You and your wet blanket have no effect.

[high density]

21. I'm sure she'll be in her typical wise-ass non-unity mode tonight

"Despite Sen. Obama losing the popular vote and all of these recent races by wide margins, he does have a small delegate lead..."

[eleny]

30. I hope not

But then we'd know she isn't interested in the VP spot.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. Obama will have his moment. Be patient, for crissakes.

He'll have plenty of moments. He'll be on state in Denver giving his acceptance speech before a national audience.

I would have hated to be your parents around Christmas time.

[eleny]

33. What was I thinking?! Today is only the day he can clinch the nom

You're so funny!

Thanks for the thread kick and the chuckle.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

48. So when he does clinch, you can be happy.

Seriously, I don't understand why the pouting.

[eleny]

53. Not even when he's on the cusp of clinching?

Seriously, I don't understand your wet blanket attitude.

Uh-oh ... here it comes .... joy breaking out!

[stillcool]

34. poor Hillary...

[BenDavid]

35. well i could be wrong but between now and november 4, this is

the only think obama will win..... Sad but true, unless he brings hrc into the wray and those poll numbers where obama is even or losing to mccain will once he announces hrc will be his running mate will jump to 20 to 30 point lead where it should be right now even if obama did not name hrc....that is what is troubling. obama should be way ahead by 20 points plus over mccain but they are basically tied.....that is bad news....maybe next week obama will be 7 to 10 points ahead of mccain but that is too close.....

a funny thing is the dems will pick up about 50 seat plus in the House and maybe 9 to 12 in the senate but those same voters will chose McCain over obama in the presidential. WOW!

[eleny]

36. Thanks for kicking the thread

[rucky]

38. Now we know how Britney felt when Christina busted onto the scene.

[dkf]

40. Drama Queen Hillary.

She can't help herself.

Oh what a circus...

[Eurobabe]

41. Pretty sad.

[eleny]

42. I love your Obama sig picture!

[Eurobabe]

43. thanks, i pwnd it from No Surrender.

:hi:

[eleny]

44. It's so "'60s"!

:hi:

[SoCalDem]

46. The Best Tuba player

at a String Quartet competition

she's pathetic..

[eleny]

51. Oh,, jeez!

[gordianot]

49. Corporate media tells us we should respect her tenacity.

It takes much ambition to run for President both Obama and Clinton are well matched. As an early Edwards supporter I could accept either Clinton or Obama, and ended up favoring Obama. As this campaign progressed I have developed a loathing of Hillary Clinton.

[Dawgs]

52. Don't worry. In two-three days it will be "Hillary who?"

:)

[loyalsister]

54. maybe she and some delegates have last ditch 30 del plan

She wants to magnanimously "give" it to him rather than allow for an appearance that he won.

IOW, she may want to maintain power by transforming the Jr. Senator's glory and "victory" into to a team win which he could not have happened without her help.

I would put nothing past her.

[eleny]

56. The his SDs need to come out now

[1776Forever]

60. I am with you there! It has always been about Hillary - Or so she & her camp believe!!

Sorry Charlie - IT IS Obama!

[VotesForWomen]

62. O has to actually win before it is "his moment." sorry.

[eleny]

63. **Breaking** Hillary Something!!!! Anything!!!! So long as it's HILLARY!!!!
