92. Remember, "pooh" must be a du=du(democratic underground)...
invention.

And, at least half the people here don't know what it means. This is the only place I've heard that expression. So, I imagine it's an unseemly plastic grass-roots distortion...

120. WTF? "Pooh" is a children's book bear. POO is what monkeys fling at each other when they're cranky.

"Flinging poo" is a very widely known expression for childish tempermental lashing-out behavior, both within and outside of political circles. So if you're actually so clueless that you didn't recognize it, well...

Not a big deal. Obama will still be the Nominee, and the Clinton Deadenders can finally get some closure and STFU!

26. Aside from the shitty tone, that's true.
Clinton supporters can feel that their historic accomplishment is honored, if not enthusiastically then at least symbolicly, and Obama supporters don't get to exclude people from their own party. At least Obama is better about this than his followers.

108. Not even tangentially relevant to anything I said, so I have no idea what you think you are arguing
against.

Clinton is backing Obama, and both she and Obama are fighting for party unity. If you are arguing otherwise, you are either naive, or you have some goal other than Obama's election in November.

7. All I want to know is
after all this drama at the convention is over will it then be Obama's turn in the spotlight alone and will the Clinton supporters finally support Obama? When is enough ENOUGH already?

I just want this over and done with. She's getting more coverage than Obama it seems lately.

18. Also what does
"Put into nomination" mean anyway?

Does it mean she will have supporter after supporter standing up and making speeches as to why Hillary should be the nominee and making a case for her? Does it mean that there will just be a roll call vote and at the end Obama will be over the top anyway so who cares kind of thing?

There is a big difference. Also will her people try and nominate her for VP and try and make Obama put her on the ticket? That in itself could be a show down.

As long as things are agreed to in advance and she knows she can't push to be VP and there aren't a whole bunch of supporters giving speeches on TV about why they think Hillary is better than Obama then I say let them have it so they can stop waiting to exhale and we can move on from this.

Edited on Thu Aug-14-08 10:58 AM by adoraz
If they didn't, could you imagine the uproar from PUMA (and other current Hillary supporters)?

It would be a disaster for them to say no. They had to agree to it.

I don't think it will be a big deal, but it doesn't surprise me.

I'm not positive this will hurt the party, but it sure won't help. I will need to see how things go down first.

than any other election in recent times. I can't even think of any legitimate reason for a Democrat to support McCain over Obama. If Bush had a good second term, then maybe, but obviously he didn't. There should be no excuses this time around.

66. The Clintons don't care about the party, they only care about themselves
Hillary wants to do everything she can to ensure that Obama loses in November so she can have a shot at 2012. Expect after the convention her camp to continue leaking more stinkbombs.

Hillary has been playing Kabuki theatre the past few months. This isn't about her supporters. This is about her rise to power.

Obama has got to win in November so we can be rid of the Clintons forever.

17. Actually, they are not in control of this
The one thing the presumtive nominee does not control is who has their name placed into nomination. Only the person whose name is to be placed into nomination has that control.

Obama and Axelrod were in a Catch-22. If they disagreed, Hillary could still do it any way and they look like they're dissing her. If they agree, the convention appears divided. They obviously decided a divided convention was the lesser of the two evils.

This is the HILLARY CLINTON 2012 GAMBIT, and anybody who tells you different is naive.

Who is controlling the "theme" of every night?

Who is raising the money to help the DNC pay for the convention?

Who chose to move Thursday night to Mile High Stadium?

Barack Obama and David Axelrod. They are calling the shots. And Hillary is on board with them.

This in no "Hillary gambit". This is part of an organized convention and every thing is going swimmingly well.

Skewer me for that, if you want, but she could never force herself on to a ticket.

You reveal what many suspect here and that she is trying to force herself onto the ticket. That's not the case at all.

No one will force Obama to do anything. He clearly not someone to be forced into making political choices.

I like you, Skwmom.

Axelrod and Obama have the convention under control. Give them a little (just a little) credit. They are dripping out the drama to tease, to build interest and to drive the GOP nuts.

You are going to be pleased with it all.

If Clinton is the VP, it will be because she forced Obama to put her on the ticket.

88. I do think clinton is looking towards 2012.
What I don't get, though, is how anyone would consider her to be a viable candidate 4 years from now. Sure she will retain a great portion of her base, but she has burned so many bridges and continues to do so. It really makes no sense. She is not making new friends, just new enemies.

So maybe we assume that whether we win or lose has nothing to do with whether a candidate's name is placed in nomination.

32. What crickets? I explained before you posted to them
Dean did NOT have his mname entered into nomination. We had a divided convention in both 80 and 88 and we lost both times.

54. And for some reason, you believe the convention was the cause
rather than a symptom of the underlying political reality of those two elections....

And you would be wrong.

80. I am actually more concerned with why you think this election year is like any other?
The Republicans picked the weakest and most morally compromised candidate they could have.

Everything this man (and his wife) have ever done is great ammo.

We aren't using public funds this year.

We will have the ability to outspend McGain by 2:1 maybe 2.5:1.


This is not 1980 and this is most certainly 1988.

107. So let's just assume it's a cake walk and not worry about it?
MAYBE if we could be assured the Rethugs would play by the rules could I relax. Maybe then I could believe Obama will win in a landslide.

But they don't. They are going to lie, cheat, and steal.. anything to get the Presidency again. Every ounce of our energy and momentum needs to go into beating them.

If we ignore history we are doomed to repeat it.

42. For people that are all up in arms about "sexism" and "misogyny"
Clinton and her supporters are playing RIGHT INTO one of the WORST stereotypes about women --- that we are SORE LOSERS and will POUT and CRY and WITHHOLD OUR FAVORS when things don't go our way.

Thanks alot, Hillary et al, you are a disgrace to womankind.

As for her 2012 aspirations, I think she's deluded there. I can't imagine anyone-- other than her most rabid fans-- signing up for more of the Clinton DRAMA and mis-management. Especially since, if Obama loses, it will be because she and her PUMAs demanded "catharsis" instead of caring about keeping a Republican out of the White House.

Pathetic.

57. I'm not "re-fighting" the primary. I am justifiably disgusted with the actions
of a so-called Democrat who is sucking all the air out of the room.

Maybe someone should inform Hillary and her PUMAs that the primary is over. THEY seem to be the ones confused about the timeline.

Seriously, the only reason she's a Senator right now is it was a stop on the way to the White House.

PREDICTION: If Obama wins this year, she won't seek re-election to the Senate in 2012.

Edited on Thu Aug-14-08 11:32 AM by IWantAnyDem
was even a remote possibility in his mind, until after the 2004 convention. Then, absolutely I believe everything he did from that point forward was done with a run for the presidency in mind.

I could be wrong, though. He may have been planning to run since before he was a distant third or fourth in the runup to the Illinois Democratic Primary.

69. Two things will happen that won't help the Clintons
1. The nomination will be seen as divisive and will put the focus on the Clintons as trying to take the spotlight away from Obama and the message of unity that was supposed to be the focus of the convention.

2. Hillary Clinton will not get enough votes AGAIN and will essentially re-lose the primary, thus firmly sealing the deal before an international audience.

I seriously doubt she will get enough votes in the nomination to take over the convention...but if she does, there will be hell to pay.

89. that's what I'm figuring too.
couldnt this end up being a real embarrassment for her?

if she suspended and did not officially close her run
superdelegates still have the option to switch without the pressures that pledged delegates have.
so i think her SD # will be a lot lower than last we knew.

she has not officially released her pledged, but they too have the option to switch if what I was hearing late int he primaries when it was meant for them to switch to Clinton is true.

but who knows whats going on in the back scenery - Clintons are probably threatening to kill pets to keep their people in line. yeh, that's what I think of them - that's how low to the snake belly they are.

93. Hillary has EARNED the right to place her name in nomination!!!!!
She's only behind Obama by 127 pledged delegates.

Why treat Hillary any differently than all the men who came before her?

1980:
Jimmy Carter - 1981 delegates
Ted Kennedy - 1225 delegates
Uncommitted - 122 Kennedy had no chance of winning, but his name was placed in nomination.

1984:
Jesse Jackson - 465 votes Jackson had no chance of winning, but his name was placed in nomination.

1988:
Jesse Jackson - 1218 votes Jackson had no chance of winning, but his name was placed in nomination.

2004:
John Kerry: 2192.5 Pledged delegates
Howard Dean: 114.5 Pledged delegates Dean had already dropped out, with no chance of winning, but his name was placed in nomination.

2008:
Barack Obama: 1766.5 Pledged delegates
Hillary Clinton: 1639.5 Pledged delegates

Hillary has a right to place her name in nomination and we who supported her want to see it happen.

Excuse me, the only selfish ones are the Obama supporters who are whining about it. She has a right to place her name in nomination and has earned that right by the sheer number of pledged delegates that she amassed.

Every other guy can place their name in nomination, even though they had a measly amount of PDs, and the first woman to almost win the nomination can't do it??

Sorry, but the party is comprised not only of Obama supporters, half of the party voted for Hillary and many of us want to celebrate her candidacy by hearing and cheering the roll call.

And, FYI, at this point the party is supposed to be composed 100% of Obama supporters.

It's not a big deal. Do you really think voters are going to abandon Obama because of an appearance of party disunity---which I think will be something the media will hype ? All those independents out there don't give a damn about any party's unity and devoted Democrats aren't going to let that sway them.

I'm not talking about Obama, I trust his judgment. That's why I am supporting him. If you didn't want to answer the question, why did you reply? No reason for snark from you. Yes, she ran a historic campaign. But so has Obama.

On edit-do I think he is stupid or unwise? No to both. On second thought, I withdraw the question. Who gives a shit at this point? We have a nominee and he will win in November.

147. It's not my first one either, and a divided convention is never good for the party
Plain and simple.

If you choose to keep making excuses for Clinton that's your prerogative but you can't be surprised by the number of people who are disgusted at this point. This election is way too important for us to be sidetracked by the runner-up's ego. As it doesn't happen every year it's not mandatory nor necessary. But let's take the focus off of winning in November by having a rehash of the nasty primaries during the convention. That'll be real helpful. Not!

139. This is total BS!
Hill and Bill are planning a coup, live on TV, at the dem convention! Their PUMA's, AKA "hard working white people" will be rioting in the streets.

They will destroy Obama's chance to be President so Hillary can run again in 2012!

Mr and Mrs NAFTA and their DLC are working for McCain!
