Hillary's mystery speech

I'm going to see HIllary in NYC tomorrow. I don't believe Hillary will give in. I want her to run for president even if the Democrat delegates don't support her. Let the popular vote decide. She's already won the election. People will FLOOD her with $ if she continues to run - America want's Hillary. Only the Republicans want her out, and they control the media.

I don't want a president who needs to spend so much $ to make a point. I don't want a candidate who would turn his back on his church and community of 30+ years because he is suddenly on TV. I don't want a candidate who will finally fall short of the White House.

I want Hillary - because Hillary is the best and most experienced candidate - and because that's what the rest of America wants, too.

Obama should help Hillary with her debt regardless of the nomination outcome. Wouldn't that just be polite? Is Obama polite? Oh yeah, I remember he pulled her chair out for her at a debate once...

Dhia, her aides have been told they can either go to the speech tomorrow, or go home. There are now dozens of reports of her top aides scouting out their old jobs before the election. I think if you go to her speech tomorrow you will hear her bow out personally.

Raising money has been very difficult for Hillary, because she maxed out the donation capacity of diehard fans in 2007. Obama has taken out her chances with young affluent voters, and although support is strong in some low income white areas, the donations are not. Just my two cents. I'm glad to see she'll bow out gracefully, but I am also sensing Obama has offered her a position.

Dhia, can you please elaborate on some of your statements as they seem to be inaccurate:

"She's already won the election."

- The election has not even started, so how can she win? Do you have a time machine?

"I want Hillary - because Hillary is the best and most experienced candidate - and because that's what the rest of America wants, too."

- Really? That's what America wants? Please tell that to the millions of people who voted for Obama and McCain.

"I don't want a president who needs to spend so much $ to make a point. "

- You mean like how Hillary has to donate millions of her own money to her campaign? If she was receiving the amount of donations that Obama was receiving, do you not think she would spend that? You think she is going to return it to her supporters?

"I don't want a candidate who would turn his back on his church and community of 30+ years because he is suddenly on TV."

- He didn't turn his back on his Church. He defended his church and his Reverend when Wright was "suddenly on TV". Maybe you need to sit down and watch Obama's speech about race. It was only weeks later, when Wright returned and sprouted absurd and hateful speech that the Obama campaign had to stand up against him.

She is probably less than 2 days away from being mathematically eliminated from the Democratic nomination anyway so I don't see how giving up now is going to gain her any respect from those outside her followers.

However, I'll be interested in how she attempts to get her legions to see the bigger picture and to vote for Obama against the GOP in November.

Obama/???? 2008!

I hope the theme song will be Madonna's, Take A Bow.

It's been 'over' for a long time now. The tents have come down and the circus has moved on. Hillary is like a lost spirit that doesn't know it's dead. All she can achieve by continuing this ridiculous quest is to make a nuisance of herself.

Besides, the polls show that Obama is a much bigger threat to McCain, whereas Clinton actually makes McCain seem more viable.

The biggest problem the Democratic party has right now is the immaturity of some of Clinton's supporters. Some have gone so far as to say that they will vote for McCain or abstain if Hillary isn't 'declared' the nominee by the super delegates.

She claims to be interested in party unity, but all of her actions and those of her supporters is about "we want Hillary or no deal." Obama supporters are at least mature enough not to take such a narrow minded attitude. In fact, Hillary has even cited this maturity of Obama supporters as a reason why she would be a stronger nominee (i.e. that Obama supporters will support her if necessary, but her supporters are too immature to support him).

If it wasn't for the fact that the Clinton base is largely composed of the under educated, they might have recognized the embarrassment of the implications of their candidate's insight.

It's been a long time commin'.

She will most likely keep on campaigning to recoup losses. I wouldn't donate a thing. She risked her own money on a bid she lost 2 months ago.

absolutely brilliant. I was hoping someone would hit all of the ridicules points Dhia made. I think some times we are blinded by support. Once we make up our minds about something we never look back, I think it's time everyone takes a step back from politics and realizes that Hilary and Obama have 90% of the same opinions on everything, why would Hilary or Obama supporters not help the other? Seems like they are both democrats and that's what you want in office so why would any one democrat not help the other? Democrats believe in the same thing, so vote like we do and quit putting shame to the other names because who you supported didn't get a bid.

It does look like Hillary Clinton's run for President has come to an end. I supported her very strongly and I know she will be an asset for the Obama campaign against the GOP.

But if Obama cannot take the general election, I do NOT want to hear how his loss stemmed from this very very positive Democratic primary.

Huffington Post is a propaganda device. Hillbillary's trick - we've seen it before, is to play on people's emotions and wounded so she can win over all those people who feel sympathy for her. She's played the victim, the poor underprivileged woman - she's good at playing on sympathy. In fact, she is a victim - or she wouldn't be playing that game at all.

She see's herself as a victim, it's guaranteed she'll make victims of us all - same with mcVain, he doesn't know it, but he still suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome from being a prisoner, and if elected will make prisoners of us all.

It's what they have to offer.

If Hillbillary wins this election - it'll be the result of election fraud.

although i dont care for hillary or bill, i think see has done wonderful things for women and politics. i would like to see more women in washington

I agree with Riverdeer. More women in Washington would be positive. It's just very critical that we pick the right women.

About time. I'm getting tired of the Hillarites. If she runs the blue vote will be so divided that John McCain will win. That's not a good thing.

I agree with boyte11. Hill and Barack are so aligned 90
% of the time. It will be great to work together after this nomination process is over.

its about time!

People always want the popular vote to count when they see that they aren't going to win the system's way. If they are winning the system's way they don't bother mentioning the popular vote.

I'm sick of this race. They cover it like it's so important the world will fail should America choose the wrong person; and before people state that that's true just remember every election years it's a dire circumstance that one political party has to win over the other. It's tiring, it's boring and it's taking over the news when it's no longer newsworthy.

What more do people need to see to know who they'll vote for and who they'll vote against? This process needs to be reinvented because it's sluggish and creates a hostilities within a political party for no reason other than the I HAVE TO WIN mentality.

I want to be shocked by Clinton's choice, because she comes off being incredibly selfish, self righteous and a bully. Let's see if she has an ounce of humble in her or an ounce of care for what this race is actually not doing....pulling the country together.

I don't think America knows what it wants now. We've been swindled so many times, and divided by this "election" we all seem to be on a different page.

I agree with iknew.

but why can't she just "step out" and then Obama makes her vice prez and it's all happy happy?

Yea, let barrack hussein obama (Mr. Change) tap hillary as a running mate, I hope he does. Can anyone say ULTIMATE hypocrit? He claims he wants to clean up washington and change it for the better, what better way than to toss some clinton into the mix, lol.

Oh yea and next time instead of citing huffington post as a news source, just say a turd told you so and it'll be MORE credible.

Go Ron Paul!

I do not envy whomever is going to be elected. There is such a mess here from Bush, I think anyone that is elected is going to have to take a lot of shit for a while.

Who is Ron Paul? I've only ever heard of "RON PAUL."

Thank God she finally decided to stop running. She was just draining her money down the drain. Now it's time for business, who is going to win now, B.O. or J.M.?

Careful about the lead on this story ... according to her campaign manager (who I think is safe to say the closest source to Hillary Clinton), she is NOT conceding tonight.

I think the lead on this story needs to be changed.

Hillary's just told congressional colleagues she'd be open to a VP offer from Obama if it would help the party's prospects in November.

superkiy, mako2424, Vasqi, jmatthew,

superkiy,
Hillary's just told congressional colleagues she'd be open to a VP offer from Obama if it would help the party's prospects in November.
Hillary's statement was made to Super Delegates in New York. this because it was asked of them to wait on their decision to endorse either candidate due to the Michigan Delegates of 127 which are Hillary's and the 4 which were given to Obama from Florida which belong to Hillary, not including the recent win in Pueto Rico which brought Hillary 43 Delegates and the Primary's in South Dakota and Montana which Hillary will win South Dakota and there are 55 total in those states which puts Hillary ahead of Obama. The problem is she has to take to the Credentials Committee to get them to seat Michigan's Delegates of 127 and she is winning in the popular vote just like Al Gore did but lost to republicans.

mako2424,
The fact is she has not given up the ship. She is ahead in the popular vote, she is ahead in the electoral count and swing states. Hillay is the one with experience and no one with any common sense would vote for Obama. If the DNC Rules Committee and the Credentials Committee and the Super Delegates do not step in to correct this matter of which I have spoke to being I am a Delegate elect then come August the I will have know choice but to rule against the DNC and the policies it has up held.

Vasqi,
You made this statement: Besides, the polls show that Obama is a much bigger threat to McCain, whereas Clinton actually makes McCain seem more viable.WRONG! YOU need to check you facts! http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x2882.xml?ReleaseID=1180

May 22, 2008 - McCain Leads Obama In Two Of Three Key Swing States, Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll Finds; Clinton Has Big Leads In Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania --- FLORIDA: Clinton 48 - McCain 41; McCain 45 - Obama 41; OHIO: Clinton 48 - McCain 41; McCain 44 - Obama 40: PENNSYLVANIA: Clinton 50 - McCain 37; Obama 46 - McCain 40

* Florida: Clinton tops McCain 48 - 41 percent; McCain leads Obama 45 - 41 percent;
* Ohio: Clinton beats McCain 48 - 41 percent; McCain tops Obama 44 - 40 percent;
* Pennsylvania: Clinton tops McCain 50 - 37 percent; Obama leads McCain 46 - 40 percent.

In the McCain-Obama matchups, 26 to 36 percent of Clinton supporters in each state say that if Obama is the nominee they would switch to the Republican in November. Only 10 to 18 percent of Obama supporters say they would defect to McCain if Clinton is the nominee.

"The numbers for Florida and Ohio are good news for Sen. John McCain and should be worrisome for Sen. Barack Obama. That is especially true about Ohio, which decided the 2004 election. Ohio's economy is worse than the rest of the country and the Republican brand there is in disrepute. McCain's Buckeye lead may be a sign that nationally this may not be the easy Democratic walk to the White House that many expected," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.


"In the Democratic primaries Sen. Obama won in most states among whites with college educations. But this data show him losing among Florida and Ohio white college graduates by six points or more," Brown added.

President Bush's approval ratings are:

* 28 - 68 percent in Florida;
* 26 - 68 percent in Ohio;
* 23 - 72 percent in Pennsylvania.

Florida

In a Clinton-McCain matchup, she leads 54 - 37 percent among women, while men back McCain 45 - 42 percent. In an Obama-McCain matchup, men back McCain 48 - 39 percent, while women split, with 43 percent for Obama and 42 percent for McCain.

Florida voters give Clinton a 48 - 43 percent favorability rating, with 44 - 40 percent for Obama and 45 - 37 percent for McCain.

Florida Democrats split 41 - 41 percent on whether they want to see Clinton or Obama nominated. Democrats say 64 - 31 percent that Clinton should stay in the race and 61 - 31 percent that Clinton should pick Obama as her vice presidential running mate.

Democrats who want Clinton to win the nomination, would vote 91 - 6 percent for her against McCain, but only 43 - 36 percent for Obama against McCain.

The economy is the most important issue in their vote, 47 percent of Florida voters say, while 19 percent list the war in Iraq. Health care and terrorism each get 11 percent. Voters split 46 - 44 percent on whether they trust Obama or McCain to handle the economy. By a 52 - 42 percent margin, they trust McCain more to handle the war in Iraq and trust McCain more, 58 - 34, percent to handle terrorism.

A total of 65 percent of voters say they would be "entirely comfortable" or "somewhat comfortable" with a President who enters office at age 72.

Because of his association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, 43 percent of Florida voters say they are less likely to vote for Obama, while 52 percent say it won't affect their vote.

The same number, 43 percent, say they are less likely to vote for McCain because of his association with President Bush, while 45 percent say it won't affect their vote.

jmatthew,
You make the statement: Really? That's what America wants? Please tell that to the millions of people who voted for Obama and McCain. One McCain is republican and they had a totally different primary put many republicans changed parties and i have spoke to over 30 that were republicans and voted for Hillary. Also Obama was rude enough to run for President when he does not have the experience nor the understanding it takes to get the job done. He has been following after Senator Hillary Clinton's bills and votes ever since he has gotten into the Senate. He can not do it on his own and will screw up this country more then what Bush has already done. It will take a Clinton to clean up this mess that is a fact. President Bill Clinton corrected the deficit and the economy and put people back to work and that is when AMD got started. I was there I saw it I lived through it I know what that man did to help this country. And you were most likely to young growing up buying a car playing games going to school or something and not concerned about who was running this country because then it was running so GOOD! And Hillary was the First Lady that made things work. So do not cut down what made your life what you now are able to bitch about today, if it was not for them you would not have the chance too.

Voyagerfims, A moment of silence for this one who continues to unknowingly make statements of which he has know real understanding about. You make another statement saying Huffington Post is a propaganda device, it is Obama's device. It has been used all through this campaign season to down grade Senator Clinton and to up grade Obama. Only after a News crew went to confront the Head of Huffington Post at a conference did she wish not to reply to them. This brought about some changes in the web site which were minor at best.
I have since noticed a Good article concerning Senator Clinton for a change Senator Obama being put in his place. The fact is I do not hear you complaining about the News agency that are treating Senator Clinton-former First Lady of these United States of America with sexist remarks. Nor do I hear all of you getting mad about the fact that this women has helped this country and you to have Health insurance that you how have that you would not have had because while you were children or maybe while you're kids or friends kids were born she was the one that put into effect child health care for them. Nor do I hear you mad because someone is t
