Nice stagecraft. She's going out in style.

What song is playing at the end? Sounds familiar.

OMG! I can not believe Hillary said "yes we can!" That is definitely a surrender. Nice job on the speech, althought it was too heavy on the estrogen stuff. Unfortunately we'll be drowning in a sea of estrogen from now until November because both candidates want to woo women.

GRENDEL

Some Bon Jovi tune. Don't remember the name

I as just humming Etta James "At Last" myself LOL

Excellent job - just want was needed. She had grace and dignity, reiterated her causes, and rallied the troops for Obama by stressing what was at stake.

Thank you Hillary!

Hear the "Boo's" when she mentioned Obama?..she has to tow the party line, but the rest of us are free to make our own choices.

1:25 EST and still no mention by Matt Drudge.

Ya, Hillary. Good job!

"Hear the "Boo's" when she mentioned Obama?."

Yes, at first, then I also heard them swell into cheers as she built the case for how important it was to elect him, and save the country 4 more years of Republican rape.

But feel free to "make your own choices" CiK.

but the rest of us are free to make our own choices.

go ahead...who's stopping you? Enjoy voting for McAlzheimer!

No shit. The DINO's can huury up and go extinct with McFlintstone.

too little, too late

two crippled candidates, one winner yet to be determined.

the outcome is likely to hang on events out of their control, like economic collapse, the price of gasoline, an attack on Iran, or as yet secret sex scandal.

is anyone in Washington doing anything about our manufacturing, health and housing crisis or is war for Israel their only counterproductive activity?

why do we elect and pay for these assholes?

I have voted for a third party candidate for the last three election cycles, none of which topped 5%. will Obama be different and effective? Carter's track record would suggest not. But what else can we do? How bad must it get before people abandon the duopoly? Why are we so fucking stupid?

McFlintstone.

Thank you, jo. FF!

I thought she gave a very good speech. Well done, Hillary, and thank you. With your help and the help of your supporters, yes, we can.

this is a pretty awesome moment.. watching the feared clinton machine finally succumb to a young but determined fella with a funny name. Unbelievable.

Awesome.

Erect a statue of her now. Take a poll - a real poll, with scientific validity - on whether her presence on the ticket would help or hurt. She'd be great in the cabinet, on The Court or as senate majority leader. herm

*She had grace and dignity*

Bwahhhhhhhhha! You're kidding right?

Finally she stepped down! Now let's see if offered will she accept being 2nd in command?
.45 Cal

She has more class in just one of her huge thighs than Obama will ever acquire in a lifetime. The funny thing is that the Obamitarians still won't stop their silly insults and jabbering. President McCain thanks the whole disorganized lot of you socialist rabble.

Cookfish-
I LOVED McCain's speech this week. I'd follow him to the jello and creamed corn any day.

What you do with old men and foodstuffs is entirely your business, dude.

Hillary's speech was excellent. If she had that fire at the beginning, she would have been the nominee. If the McAntiquity crowd was looking for a lukewarm endorsement of Obama, they're now crying in their Metamucil.

Bye-bye Johnny--Chuck berry

New McCain campaign slogan:

"As Strong as PoliGrip"

Thanks! You can link me to the Rolling Stones anytime you want.

NOW...she`s back to where she was mean to be:THE KITCHEN....

We did she concede before going to the Supreme Court and demanding that every ballot in every caucus and primary be recounted? That's a Dem tradition when they lose an election.

The Obama supporters are the most mean spirited in History...can't wait until Nov when PRESIDENT MCCAIN gives you your walking papers!

"She has more class in just one of her huge thighs than Obama will ever acquire in a lifetime"

"The Obama supporters are the most mean spirited in History"


....but you right-wing fucktards have no agenda, do you? Go bite one.

File this speech under Better Late Than Never.

Not that she had any choice. While I don't know much about his politics, I always get a kick out of Charlie Rangel and the other day he said that she had wanted to speak to her supporters, so he arranged the conference call. I think Charlie took off the velvet glove.

She won't be Obama's VP choice. That deck is already stacked against her because Bubba doesn't want to disclose his donors and business dealings, and then there's Caroline Kennedy who, in the most gracious way, despises the Clintons.

So maybe a Cabinet post, though I don't think that someone with her lack of credibility should be the Attorney General. Oh, what to do with Hillary. She won't go quietly that's for sure, and she has little chance of a leadership position in the Senate. Maybe she could be named Ambassador to Britain or France. At least that would get her out of the country.

I know that many people were terribly disappointed that Hillary did not win. I was fortunate because I decided early on that I would support the one that the majority wanted. We had two excellent candidates and they both fought very hard.I believe that she will be given an important job in Obama's administration and she will do her very best.
This was more about the popularity of each candidate. Now let us get back to the importance of the fall election. Remember WHY it is so important to beat the Republicans. Let us all stand together and WIN. Because Hillary did not win, would you rather have more years of this frightening war? Do you want to worry constantly about losing your home or your job? Do you want more years of high gas prices, and $4.00 a gallon milk? Aren't the worries about our huge deficit more important than the candidate? The loss of allies, the secrecy of this administration,the cover-ups and torture and constantly being lied to? Do you want to allow more terrible things like New Orleans. It was his slow and uncaring action that I criticize. Do you want to have to worry about your Social Security being terminated? McCain wants privatized Social Security. Think what those rich people have already done to the average citizen.That was one of the things Bush wanted . Do you want to continue with the arrogant administration breaking every law in the book , AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT. The Democrats should be held responsible also because many of Bush's offences should have called for impeachment and Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the house. stated that
Impeachment was not on the table. Obama is a well educated man and I ask every Democrat to put aside their disappointment and fight for the election of a Democrat.The recovery of our nation is truly at stake.

"So maybe a Cabinet"

Why would she want a job she can be fired from when she already is a United States Senator. My bet is that she will remain comfortabe in the Senate and have the perfect soap box from which to speak about any and all matters of the day and be listened to by many millions. Right now she is loaning her army to Obama because we have a war to fight but once the war is over I think she will continue to have huge influence over about half of the Democratic Party for quite a while. So, I just can't see her wanting a cabinet post, now a SC nomination though would be a possibility though I doubt they would openly discuss such a thing.

My advice to Obama would be that she gets nothing, except as her name should come up in an unrelated context very much outside the primary process, and much later than now. For now she can campaign for him - that is, if winning is the goal.

SEE YOU IN DENVER!

-Crackpipejunkie


ROFLMAO!!!

Betelg- I've thought for a long time that Bill Clinton should be Obama's head of FEMA. They were pretty good when he was president. Hillary could have a health care spot.

Not VP, though.

Anything but VP. I was really pissed off when people in the claim to know started advancing the idea that she wanted it.

Truly trashy.

She should do whatever helps Obama win. If his chances improve with her on the ticket more than with someone else then she should be on the ticket.
If someone else's name would actually increase Obama's chances then their name should be on it. It should all be about WINNING. We cannot afford to lose this election. All Democrats need to realize that in politics winning is the only important thing. Unless of course we want another helping of defeat???

Where is corky?

Great posts Disgusted and Danni !
And I concur that the Senate is the best ongoing spot for Hillary. (Or the prospect of a SC nomination, where she could have a lifetime of influence).

I have voted for a third party candidate for the last three election cycles, none of which topped 5%. will Obama be different and effective? Carter's track record would suggest not. But what else can we do? How bad must it get before people abandon the duopoly? Why are we so fucking stupid?

Posted by nutcase

Apparently it isn't just the GOP faithful who have to ridicule Carter's presidency.

His presidency has in general received low marks... with a notable exception being his call for energy independence...
but I will stack up his honesty and decency against the best.
(And, ahem, we won't mention other names in that regard).

And how many other post-presidency accomplishments for humanity will stack up against his ?

"His presidency has in general received low marks... "

By who??? Right wingers, that's who. If Ronnie Raygun had just left in place Carter's policies this country would be in good shape today. Jimmy Carter did not try to baffle us with bull shit like Republicans do. He saw clearly what was happening and he was trying to do something about it. Our country say a shiny object in Ronald Reagan, absolutely no substance. Even his own future vice presidential running mate called Reaganomics voo doo economics. This country's ills can be directly traced back to Ronnie Raygun and Reaganomics coupled with the American voter's incredible inability to recognize what is really got for themselves.

look at all the kum ba ya from the left and they will soon be talking about uniting and bringing us all together and HERE is what they really think

"we have a war to fight"

and when they tell us that they are worried about the country and all of us coming together, they are lying through their teeth because they have shown that they dont GIVE A SHIT about any of that. all they give a fuck about is what they consider to be thier God given right......to be in the white house and through thier ranting to us about us being party over country...NOTHING ELSE MATTERS TO THem....from our security to capitalism to other matters.....they just dont care as long as they get that power back.......and now read and listen to them prove me correct..


and also.....THis race is just like the belmont....
it wont matter who the pilot is....big brown is the best horse in the race...best against the others and best for the sport.......the presidential race is the same way.

and AGAIN>......sit back and read all of the liberal nonsense and you will see little if ANY debate on the issue......

McFlintstone

I prefer McThuselah myself

"sit back and read all of the liberal nonsense and you will see little if ANY debate on the issue......"

Baloney. I see debate here all the time, I personally engage often. You seem to be so closed minded that debate with you is nearly impossible and I don't mean that in a mean manner.
"We have a war to fight" is not referring to a war against you but against those who have caused our nation to be on the verge of economic disaster. WE do have a war to fight against those people. We won't last another four years of this. You live in an isolated ivory tower unaware of the reality most working people are facing today. People with kids are struggling just to put the basics on the table. Heat for this winter is going to be impossible for millions of Americans. Remember when we felt sorry for Russians with the same problem???? Egads. Time to wake up and smell the coffee BLT.

"McThuselah "

FF for Beavis. LOL!

Billary sucked!

Finally - classy and well done.

LBD I would say classy would have been to concede on Tuesday night. This is like Obama getting it on and having to wait a week for the orgasm. It's a shame Hellary waiting until today to do what She should have done Tuesday evening.

If Ronnie Raygun had just left in place Carter's policies

Which policies would they be? The dismantling of the military, the fiscal policy that resulted in 21% inflation and 12.5% mortgage rates, the price controls that resulted in shortages of gasoline (I can still buy all the gas I want today), an energy policy that resulted in a moratorium on gas and oil exploration and development of nuclear power, a confiscatory tax policy that penalized those who suceeded by their own efforts, or the policy of abandoning American embassy workers in a foreign country?

"the fiscal policy that resulted in 21% inflation"

Sorry but that is bull shit. He inherited that inflation from none other than Jerry Ford/Nixon. It is a lot harder to stop inflation once it has started than it is to create it by just printing more money without revenue to back it. But hey, Bush is the new Nixon and his inflation will be his gift to us and to Barrack Obama and idiots like you will call it the Obama inflation.

The worst of the three is out... and that's good for everyone.

McCain and Obama are by far better choices for America then this lady... I just hope Obama has the balls to go it alone and not pick this "woman" to be his running mate.

Which policies would they be? The dismantling of the military,

He didn't dismantle anything. He reduced costs, trying to stop the money drain, and kept the military functional. What war were we fighting pants-pisser?

"the fiscal policy that resulted in 21% inflation and 12.5% mortgage rates,"

I guess you forgot about a little thing called the Viet Nam war and all the inflationary spending that came out of that. Carter was fixing 8 years of republican money hemmorage---just like now with Obama having to clean up Bushs money borrowing binge.

"the price controls that resulted in shortages of gasoline (I can still buy all the gas I want today),"

The price controls and gas lines started in 73 under Nixon--close but no cigar.

"an energy policy that resulted in a moratorium on gas and oil exploration and development of nuclear power,"

He had solar panels on installed on the roof of the White House and an energy plan to get us off the foreign oil tit. Reagan took the panels off as one of his first acts as President. Whose path do you think we should have followed?

"a confiscatory tax policy that penalized those who suceeded by their own efforts, or the policy of abandoning American embassy workers in a foreign country?"

Nobody succeeds by their own efforts--all our tax dollars pay for the infrastructure that ensures whatever financial success some may have. That the richest pay for most of it is only fair since they enjoy the most benefits. Men lost their lives in Carters attempt to save those embassy workers, and Reagans team made a deal with the terrorists to release them the moment Reagan was sworn in. Reagans first act of playing politics with Peoples lives.

I guess Bill lost the bet! I bet he spent millions on the campaign. Too bad he is a loser.

Bill did NOT lose because Hellary lost. He actually won big time. I do not believe in Bill's heart of hearts He wanted Her to win the nomination and the Presidency. Too much male ego involved and quite frankly too much headaches. Bill won BIG with Hellary's defeat. BTW He can make up the money lost in no time with speeches and the like.

Larry Mohr

Nice stagecraft. She's going out in style.

Going OUT?

Spud imagines she spent the last week making her final play fer a plum spot INSIDE the Obama Cabinet.

Prolly started out asking fer Veep and ended up with sommat less high profile but still powerful nonetheless.

There has to be some understanding on her part that she will be viewed as a villain if Obama fails to get elected in November. This is because it will be seen, by many, as the direct result of the protracted bloodletting to date between herself and BHO.

Ergo her calls now to try and unite the party are not just fer the sake of Obama's chances in Novmber and the Dems legacy but are also fer Hillary's sake as well.

That sed she pretty much shot her wad going after Obama and now her previous "vetting" (shall we say) leaves the GOPhers with little fresh powder fer their anti-Obama blunderbusses.

They only got old headlines and crumbs left.

Secret Muslim? Too Black? Not Black Enuff? Elitist? Racist? Too Liberal?

Bullshit.

In terms of policy, ideas, freshness, believability and energy Obama has got McAncient dead to rights.

The corporate media will, of course, continue to try and manufacture these absurd "controversies" and bullshit "scandals" and some LCD individuals pre-disposed to be Obama haters will buy in.

But Blogworld is now here to deconstruct the spin and put the message back into the media.

People are waking up.

08ama '08.

Be Well.

Na na na-nah, na na na-nah, hey, hey, hey, goodbye!

Just like Providence for another Jezebel to be defeated.

39 % of her bitches won't vote for Obama--17% will vote for McCain and 22% will sit out the election.

-Ergo her calls now to try and unite the party are not just fer the sake of Obama's chances in Novmber and the Dems legacy but are also fer Hillary's sake as well.

So sad that some Obama supporters are nowhere near as gracious as either of the candidates, and must assign ulterior motives based on only their own paranoia, they're own vitriolic and delusional Clinton paranoia, worthy of any Rethug who ever belonged to the VRWC.

ROFLMMFAO.

Didn't anyone notice that Hillary said she was "suspending" her campaign rather than ending it? Sounds fishy to me. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of shenanigans come up at the convention or even before hand. Maybe a phone poll like Bush the 2nd's supporters did in SC in 2000. I can see it now "Would you vote for Obama if you knew he had a baby with a white woman?" Thank INSERT RELIGIOUS DEITY HERE Obama is the presumptive nominee.

Bad day, huh Corky?

WHO would've thunk. Tough landing.

QUEEN live in Montreal 1981 on PBS right now

CORKY

Corky, you've been an utter asshole about this for months, going out of your way to be an asshole as many times a day as you were allowed to post threads and comment. No one gives a flying fuck what you think anymore.

ON HILLARY:

She was gracious today. I hope she follows through in her support of Obama.

Two faced turncoat. A week ago, she couldn't stand him now is supporting Osama. Spineless, self absorbed lying piece of political trash.

Made a fol of me, for sure. I blabbered all over the place about how she'd shoot Obama in the back as she drew her final breath. I'm happy to be wrong this time.

Doesn't change my opinion of the bitch in the least, though.

Dubmania

Let's see if you say the same thing about McCain when he congratulates Obama on his win and calls for republicans to support him.

" . . . nowhere near as gracious . . .
Posted by Corky at 2008-06-07 11:28 PM"

Corky commenting on graciousness? Isn't that like asking a pig for an explanation of Einstein's theory of relativity, an analysis of trends in contemporary philosophy, and a critique of Mozart?

Hillary's a politician (as are Obama and McCain). She sucked it up and did what she had to do, as Andrew Sullivan points out.

Time for her followers get on with it or stand in opposition to her.

I think most of them will follow her lead. They don't want McCain. Supporting Hillary to the hilt and then pirouetting to McCain is nihilistic. Sure, there will be a few Heaven's Gate types who fail to detect the change in marching orders and the beating of the drum. But, by and large, I'll bet they do what most of Obama's supporters would've done if the roles were reversed: grind their teeth and do what they needed to do to deny John McCain the presidency.

go ahead...who's stopping you? Enjoy voting for McAlzheimer!

So, you can't think of any other way to discredit McCain so you take a shot at his age. I guess you missed the part about his medical reports.

I guess you missed the part about his medical reports.

Yeah, I did miss the ones from the Navy when they authorized a 100% disability only 3 years (or so) after he regained his flight status. My bet it was a psych with some Admiral Icing on top as a consolation prize so they wouldn't have to officially deny him a sea going command.

But three hours to review how many thousands of pages? No cell phones, copy machines, computers, etc. I guess you call that full disclosure.

Hillary supporters were not not necessarily democrats to start out. Democrats lost the last two Presidential elections, Hillary brought in lots of new voters to the democrat side. They just may be going back to their old voting habits.

Doesn't change my opinion of the bitch in the least, though.
