Concede delegate race that is. She is not going to formally drop out.

If she drops out I have to confess I would miss her. I feel kind of like when GWB took over for Clinton in 2001. The Clintons are fun in the way they act.

The political/news junkie in me keeps hoping that today she will announce her candidacy as an indepedent democrat a la Lieberman. That would certianly be exciting news and a great election season to look forward too.

It is a great day, a great day indeed. If anyone is looking for me I will be over at NQ and His44 watching heads explode.

Taylor Marsh seems to be taking it pretty well. I had not visited noquarters until yesterday, that place is crazy.

This is a non-concession that just points out the obvious; i.e., that Obama has enough delegates to secure the nomination. It's like conceding that water is wet. She hasn't said she is going to concede the nomination to him, however. That would be news.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton's is "absolutely not" prepared to concede the race for the Democratic presidential nomination to Sen. Barack Obama, her campaign chairman said.

Terry McAuliffe rejected as "100 percent" incorrect an Associated Press report that Clinton is preparing to acknowledge that Obama has the delegates to win the nomination Tuesday night as the five-month Democratic primary process comes to a close.

Obama "doesn't have the numbers today, and until someone has the numbers the race goes on," McAuliffe told CNN.

Obama "doesn't have the numbers today, and until someone has the numbers the race goes on," McAuliffe told CNN.


Yeah! Those delegate change their mind or they might be assassinated, you never know what might happen in the ides of june.

Obama "doesn't have the numbers today, and until someone has the numbers the race goes on," McAuliffe told CNN.

----

He's gotten 6 supers so far today. According to MSNBC, he only needs 33.5 more. He might get the numbers today.

That said, Clinton senior adviser Harold Ickes has told at least one top Clinton backer in the House that "it's over," according to an aide that was privy to the conversation.

Per the aide, Ickes told the Democratic member yesterday: "It's over and the end will be gracious, beginning with HRC's comments at Baruch College tonight. This will be over by Thursday at the latest. There's a large Obama fundraiser in NYC on Wednesday night that will include a bunch of bigtime HRC donors (I bet he raises $300K if not more) followed by a DNC event where big bucks will also be raised. We're guessing HRC will at least appear at the DNC event with Obama and use that platform to being to unify the party. (Ickes) agrees...that HRC has more leverage between now and Thursday than after."

She hasn't said she is going to concede the nomination to him, however. That would be news.

Any form of concession by Hillary Clinton is big news. As far as I know, she's never used a form of the verb "to concede" in her entire life.

Terry McAuliffe saying it's 100% incorrect is a bit like Terry McAuliffe saying it's 99% correct.

CNN is now reporting that the Clinton camp is denying these reports...

As far as I know, she's never used a form of the verb "to concede" in her entire life.

You don't seriously believe she's going to use that word tonight, do you?

My guess is she'll try to use some of Ted Kennedy's "dream goes on" lines.

But we'll see.

I hope she doesn't accept VP if it's offered to her.

All or nothing!

Four other superdelegates quickly followed Clyburn's lead and others, including many members of Congress, are simply waiting, out of respect for Clinton, for the primaries to end to break their silence and endorse Obama.

She may not concede tonight but my guess is she will tomorrow or Thursday.

Whether it is tonight or not I don't know, but I don't see her taking this to the convention and making Rush have his first orgasm not caused by a teenage boy. She'll do the right thing, and once she gets behind Obama he will roll over McAncient. I think she should have Reid's job. He certainly doesn't deserve it.

Any form of concession by Hillary Clinton is big news.

Maybe she's going with the Emperor Hirohito line; "The election no necessarily going in our favor.."

Hillary might concede... but Corky never will.

Obama will be our Nominee and it is time to come together to take on the McCain train. The fight has just begun. He should offer the VP to her (and she should politely turn it down).

Then Corky can vote for McBush and we can all go about the business of cleaning up this mess.

Wow, this is great news for sure!!!

As unelectable as Obama is, it's time to start practicing.

Can you say President McCain?

I knew you could.

My guess is she'll try to use some of Ted Kennedy's "dream goes on" lines.

But we'll see.

I tend to agree. My hunch is that she'll something more akin to Bill's recent "this may be my last night in a campaign like this" comment. It begs as many questions as it answers.


AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination

www.breitbart.com

What a clusterfuck.

Does this mean that Corky and I can be friends now?

NAH NAH NAH NAH

NAH NAH NAH NAH

HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE!

She's not going anywhere. Barry has to finally earn something without a hand-out.



Congratulations to Barack Hussein Obama for being the first man of color to lead his party into the fall campaign.

Congratulations to Hillary Clinton for making it farther in the primaries, and gaining more victories than any woman before her.

This is why the democratic party is the future.

He got into Harvard and graduated Magna Cum laude.

No affirmative action program can hand that out, you douchebag.

She is NOT going to say "You won't have Hillary Clinton to kick around any more"

Meanwhile the Republicans nominate a 72 year old who is campaigning on "more of the same."

Uh-huh.

Put Cork on suicide watch.

I hear Hillary bought a conservative cloth coat.

Maybe Magna Cum Laude is awarded by race.

NappyHeadedIdiot

Did you graduate Magna Cum Laude, Nappy? Are you a professor?

Somehow I seriously doubt it.

Crockys going to hole up and watch Tivo reruns of early primaries until catatonic.

And It doesn't even live in West Virginia!

From the WaPo:

The news today is full of spec


That Hillary is quittin'.


That the lion-lady candidate


May go out as a kitten...

She'll say the things she has to say


But the truth may go unspoken:


Her heart is not still in the race


Because it has been broken.

The man who made her whole career


Lies in the ground, where ants root --

LOL, NG3 goes spud-style.

Well in obama's case it certainly is not given for intelligence.

Salam - fuck, dude. Are you trying for the Idiot Crown or what? The only part of magna cum laude you are qualified to speak about it the cum part.

"... it certainly is not given for intelligence."

Posted by salamandagator

Actually, gator, nobody gets it for intelligence. But if I have to explain that to you....

Yes, now that Obama is the heir apparent, I can't wait to hear more about his uncle who, as Obie claimed in a Memorial Day speech last week, was part of the US troops who helped liberate Auschwit....hold on, ummm, I am being told that US troops were not involved in liberating Auschwitz...it was Russian troops. Well, what Obie meant to say is that SOME troops SOMEWHERE liberated a camp, and his uncle WANTED to be there.

Is this the Oprah Effect? James Frey writes "A Million Little Pieces", get Oprah's endorsement, is subsequently shown to be a compulsive liar, and then defends it as being "in the spirit of the moment". Obama is on that track...

From his Selma speech in March:
"There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born."

Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was "speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole."

Obama is a liar and embellisher who is finally stepping into an arena in which he will be called on it.

Righties click here for more; libs forget it, you will simply refuse to read it. I know, you're not allowed under the rules of the DNC. It's ok.

NAPPY is too stupid to realize that posting the MichelleMalkin byline is announcing his own stupidity. Rachel Ray's wardrobe is really all Michelle Malkin is qualified to opine on, on second thought she isn't even qualified to comment on that.

Nappy you'd be better off posting that nonsense under your own name and leave Malkin off, it makes the stupidity too obvious.

Didn't Nappy just break Rcade's DR Copyright Protection Rule?

He should have known that speaking "metamorphicallonically" was beyond your simple little mind to graspy, NappyHeadedIdiot.

Maybe Magna Cum Laude is awarded by race.

He got into Harvard ahead of more-qualified students because he is black. He graduated Magna because Harvard jumps through its ass to "tutor" minorities and make sure they do well. Magna is the top 20% of the class. He got the opportunity because he is black, just like you all expect with Affirmative Action. Why deny it now?

Did you graduate Magna Cum Laude, Nappy? Yes. Are you a professor? No. I work for a living.


Wow, A dumb insult and you guys get all in a flurry.

Too easy.

I'll believe it when I see it. By it I mean Hillary conceding.

Sure you did, Nappy. You don't even know what it means. Just because summa cum laude and magna cum laude cannot exceed 20% of the student body doesn't mean that the top 20% are magna cum laude, dummy. If, for instance, your grade point average is 3.62 and you are top 18%, you are NOT magna cum laude.

What you are, though, is full of shit.

"your grade point average is 3.62 and you are top 18%, you are NOT magna cum laude."


I thought it was pretty much up to the school to decide their own rules.

The SD flood is coming.

10 SDs for Obama today and 1 Edwards delegate.

COUNTDOWN TO THE NOMINATON:
OBAMA: 29
CLINTON: 198

NOW..SHE CAN GO BACK TO DO WHAT SHE GOOD AT.........BAKING COOKIES...

NOW..SHE CAN GO BACK TO DO WHAT SHE GOOD AT.........BAKING COOKIES...

Over at Hillary's official website, they say she will not concede tonight, and her supporters are making calls to get out the vote in SD and MT. They are also calling superdelegates and radio stations. Some say they will write in Clinton if she doesn't get the nom. Some say they will vote for McCain. Others are threatening to go to Denver and storm the convention:

Hillary tells NY lawmakers she is open to being Obama's VP:

www.msnbc.msn.com

I think the only way Clinton could possibly be happy as VP would be if Obama was comfortable with the expanded VP powers of the Bush/Cheney Admin.

Now if both of them are comfortable with the newly designed VP job description, I think that is cause for concern.

If its an Al Gore style VP slot, I think there are better jobs for her.

How about Sec. of State? Or Senate Majority Leader?

Charley Rangel is the NY lawmaker who said he "has reason to believe she would be open to the VP spot."

If Obama picks her for VP, I think he should promise her a big job: healthcare redux.

If I were Obama, I'd have serious concerns about having the Hildabeast as my VP running mate. I would liken it to taking point on a Dick Cheney Texas bird hunt. Here is some advice, "Watch your back, Barack!!!" The Hildabeast and her spouse are two of the most ruthless ambitious politicians in American history!!! They are out to place themselves into the history books at almost any cost!!! Remember, Barack, if the Hildabeast is your VP she's only one heartbeat from the presidency!!!

That is correct. At Delaware, the top 1% are summa cum laude, and the next 4% are magna cum laude. My example above pertained to Harvard.

If he picks her for VP--Obama will need a taste tester..

She is not giving it up..

And Rcade--where is the thread for tonights stuff?

ASU Sundevils are kicking ass. 5 to zip YESSSSS Sorry Murphy.

Larry

Make that 4 to zip

Hey--they deserve it--the pitcher is awesome--Burkhart will go to the Olympics--

Going to see some really happy ladies.

I'd still like to see Texas score 1 or 2--2 innings left....

Last night my son's team was tied 0-0.

Then the other team scored 2.

We came back and scored 2 to tie in the 5th

Then we went into extra innings--it's the playoffs--must win to survive to move on.

It was incredible--we went up 4-2 in the 8th inning

It was so much fun--rowdy parents and I was one of them!

:o)))))

Hey Murphy do they have Leagues for say 30'something players?? If so what is the weight limit??

Larry

Burkhart is probably too late for the 2008 Olympics--but the next one--

Wait until you See the OLYMPICS!!!

Talk about some great stuff--get your TiVo out--for the times when they show the softball.

They were going to drop the Softball--but since China has such a great team--they built them a stadium to play in Beijing...

I guess China is 8 plus hours ahead of CA time (?)

I don't know what time China is. I wished I did however.

Larry

Larry--Yes--they have leagues--Recreation ball leagues everywhere.

It's 9:52 AM WED in China right now--so it's 12 hours ahead of CA time

Kewl. Do they get competitive or are they just locals?? Might even give it a try Myself. Of course I don't know what they would say about a 400 Pound dude running to first however. Might need to wear bumpers to protect the other players.

Larry

And Larry--they have co-ed leagues....

Yummm Coed leagues. You might make Me a Softball player yet Murphy.

Larry

You better not be 400 pounds!!

Even if you are a really tall guy--you need to get right and lose the weight.

You might want to do a video for "The Biggest Loser". Those folks--that show is a great inspiration.

Just think about losing 200 pounds!--Then another 40 pounds after that--depending on your height.

You'll live longer and catch a couple of babes--if you dont already have one I mean...

So here comes the guy in the next segment trying to hit the ball--again--Hey hit the grapefruit!

He should have bunted--but not smart enough..;o)

Yes Ma'am I am 6 feet 4 inches and 400 Lbs. Wear a size 15 shoe.

Larry

Yessssss 8 to Zip

11 to Zip YESSSSSS

More BS. Ms Hillary did not conede. She won big. BIG. Obama has demonstrated since he has been outed as a hate-monger for decades, that he is not a viable candidate.

Since the superdelegates are old pros, who know which side their bread is buttered on, do they want to take down Democrat incumbents and aspirants by putting Obama up as their candidate, when it seems that he's an anchor that will drag down the ticket, and scuttle the chances of other Democrat candidates?

There's going to be a recount of the supers. "What have you done for me lately?"

Will supers now begin declaring for Ms Hillary starting a bandwagon effect?

Yessssss they WON. I have tears in My eyes. Their first ever World Series Win. Good damned deal SunDevils.

Larry

Somebody lied.

Hillary Lied, people di....

never mind

Ha ha. Hillary never "concedes"

Jack Cafferty got an email the other night from a guy who said about Hillary...."Reminds me of the old country favorite...'How can I miss you when you won't go away?'..."

"Will supers now begin declaring for Ms Hillary starting a bandwagon effect?
