Billy Jeff: “[T]his may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind”; Update: Hillary planning to suspend campaign, says HuffPo? Update: 34 House supers ready to endorse Obama?

posted at 1:47 pm on June 2, 2008 by Allahpundit

How many tea leaves do you want? We’ve got (a) the Times reporting that she’s “come to terms” with reality; (b) Politico claiming she’s laying off her advance people, which is not something you’ll find Team Obama doing, needless to say; (c) Marc Ambinder noting that staffers and advisors are making vacation plans and being urged to turn in any outstanding receipts by the end of the week; (d) Newsday alleging that she and BJ are going to “huddle” with their top people tomorrow at home in Chappaqua for a potentially “momentous” decision; (e) the grand finale tomorrow night at Baruch College in NYC, which Ben Smith says top donors are being invited to attend; and (f) Terry McAuliffe waving around liquor bottles on air at MSNBC.

And now this.

I’m not saying I’ll be misty-eyed tomorrow night if the Reaper comes. But I’m not saying I won’t be either.

Bill Clinton acknowledged Monday that today may be his last campaigning for his wife.

“I want to say also, that this may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind,” the former president said at a town hall at the Milbank Visitor Center…

“I thought I was out of politics, ’til Hillary decided to run,” he said. “But it has been, one of the greatest honors of my life to go around and campaign for her for president.”

Just in case they need an extra nudge towards the exit, CNN claims Obama’s secret stash of superdelegates includes “most” of the remaining 17 undeclared Democratic senators and that they’re planning to endorse him publicly by the end of the week. Exit question one: Big sexism speech tomorrow night to go out with a bang, maybe? And exit question two, the one I prayed I’d never have to ask: Do we really not have Hillary Clinton to kick around anymore?

Update: No concession tomorrow night, senior aides tell Ambinder.

Update: HuffPo’s headline says Hillary’s “expected to suspend her campaign” but Tom Edsall’s story seems less certain of that. Although there is this:

Obama and Clinton spoke Sunday night and agreed that their staffs should begin negotiations over post-primary activities. In addition to help raising money to pay off some $20 million-plus in debts, Clinton is known to want Obama to help out black officials who endorsed her and are now taking constituent heat, including, in some cases, primary challenges from pro-Obama politicians.

“This has never happened before,” one donor said, referring to the personalized request by email to attend the event in New York Tuesday night.

Update: Obama needs 46 delegates to clinch by CNN’s count. He’ll pick up 15 or so from Montana and South Dakota tomorrow night. If the CNN report about the senate and this NBC report about the House are correct, he’ll pick up the rest from congressional superdelegates tomorrow afternoon and likely proclaim himself presumptive nominee tomorrow night.

Second look at Rosie?

We gotta have somebody to kick around.

NoFanofLibs on June 2, 2008 at 1:49 PM

Do we really not have Hillary Clinton to kick around anymore?

Not unless she’s leaving the Senate too.

DrSteve on June 2, 2008 at 1:51 PM

He’ll have to break it off with Sharon Stone now, I guess.

Maybe they can move in with Marc Rich.

Connie on June 2, 2008 at 1:52 PM

Hillary will always be around to kick, along with her sidekick.

right2bright on June 2, 2008 at 1:55 PM

Obama needs 43 delegates to clinch, with likely victories in the remaining primaries. If he nets most of the 17 supers, regardless of the fact all superdelegates can change their mind up to the convention, I don’t see how she goes on.

I’d say “war” begins Wednesday.

amerpundit on June 2, 2008 at 1:56 PM

And then Wednesday night, McCain names Sarah Palin his VP candidate?

Is a former US President really ever “out of politics?”

highhopes on June 2, 2008 at 1:57 PM

If true, absolutely the most delicious irony imaginable. Brought down by the clownish, stupid, ridiculous identity politics of the Dem. party, and the distinctly undemocratic character of it’s rules.

Hillary got chewed-up and spit out by the same mechanism that enabled her husband. She got the raw end of every deal. Both must be extremely bitter. She for getting screwed by the system she and her husband spawned, he for being discarded a second time by the electorate. So freaking sweet.

From the update:

Meanwhile, NBC News reports Bill Clinton, “acknowledging the campaign’s likely fate,” said in South Dakota that “this may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind.”

Mr. Clinton, aides said, was referring to the end of the primary season — there are no remaining places for him to campaign for his wife — and did not attempt to foreshadow her departure.

amerpundit on June 2, 2008 at 2:02 PM

if the Larry Johnson rumor of the Michelle tape is true OR if the Clinton’s themselves have the goods on Obama but couldn’t for political reason’s release them. They may just get out, secretly work with McCain to defeat Obama and set themselves up for “2012: Revenge of the Feminazi’s”

She will stay in (in case OBambi is found in Ft. Marcy Park one of these days).
If she loses this time, she will run in 2012. If she loses then, she’ll try in 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028.
Then Chelsea will run until she has 8 kids, all of which will run (Chelsea will run as many times as it takes to win) after Chelseas 7 consecutive terms. Chelsea will serve as POTUS for 28 years due to a change in election law by a House, Senate and White House all controlled by DemoncRATS.

bernzright777 on June 2, 2008 at 2:22 PM

Do we really not have Hillary Clinton to kick around anymore?

Oh no. It ain’t that easy. Just as it was with Nixon after his Senate loss, Hillary will come back once again. To the democrats she’s Golum, always counted out, always left for dead, always about to disappear from the narrative, only to return at the last moment. She’s a key player in the plot. Even if she gives up and retreats to her lair under the Misty Mountains, she’ll be back when everyone least expects it.

The Precious will be hers, yes, oh yes it will.

Still after all this, I’ll be a little sad. I’ll miss her and her bat-sh!t crazy supporters. DEN-VER!! DEN-VER!! DEN-VER!!

Vote Sauron 08 on June 2, 2008 at 2:24 PM

Why should she drop out? The Democrats have been very hard on her and very disloyal, she owes the party nothing.

She should not quit, keep a low profile and travel the country talking to women’s groups all summer.

She will be in he batter’s box should the Democrats come to their senses and realize what a loser Barack Obama really is for them.

EJDolbow on June 2, 2008 at 2:27 PM

RushBaby on June 2, 2008 at 2:47 PM

I don’t see how she goes on.

On two different occasions, she mentioned an event in CA in June.

Why do you think she did that?

If she can’t win the nomination legitimately, is she willing to let her Presidential ends justify any means necessary?

The Clintons have a long track record in this particular area.

It ain’t over until Hillary says it’s over.

Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 2:55 PM

Although I believe it will all be over tomorrow, I’d like this ‘chaos’ to drag on and on through the summer.

Maybe hauled to the courts to fight over vote splitting etc…

On the other hand I’d like to see the Clinton’s out of the spotlight, forever.

Don’t think I’ll see either happen.

cntrlfrk on June 2, 2008 at 2:55 PM

If Hillary wants to be President as bad as I think she does, she will not quit or concede. Suspend perhaps. She would be crazy not to demand a count on the convention floor. The vote is to close. Long time for Barry to navigate until late August. My guess is she will appeal the MI crap to the convention, support Barry, but remain around just in case.

chief on June 2, 2008 at 3:00 PM

She’s not going anywhere. I’d be surprised if she suspends.

Entelechy on June 2, 2008 at 3:04 PM

Now news of suspending – that’s not quitting at all. This ain’t over by far.

Entelechy on June 2, 2008 at 3:06 PM

Act II in the Shakespearean melodrama of the left begins in 24 hours. Buy good seats – wait, it’s gratis, and has nothing to do with the VRWC.

Who takes this fool for his ‘word’?
He lies every time he opens his sleazy mouth. Here’s a doozy in that tiny article: “I thought I was out of politics, ’til Hillary decided to run,” he said.”
LOL…So, he’s been out of politics since they met and she told him that she wanted to be the first female POTUS. (If you want to be ‘fair’ you could say that he knew by the time she ran for the Senate in 2000). But, hoo-haa!!! That’s a knee-slapper that explains why he acts/acted like a child who can’t/couldn’t be held accountable for his actions–he thought he was out of politics! That’s beyond triangulation, that’s Bonkerland.
Will he be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white suits when they come to take him away, haha? Depends.

wise_man on June 2, 2008 at 3:27 PM

Either way, I’m thinking the Clints are in for tough times. Betrayed by the DNC and Billybob can see all those bidness deals and lecture monies drying up. Who would pay him $.15 to tell anything about his years as POTUS, or care about his opinions after his suicidal campaigning for Hillary? It would have better served them both had he been locked up for the past six months.

Or she rolls out the Michelle Obama “whitey” tapes.

Entelechy on June 2, 2008 at 3:40 PM

I don’t read Bill Clinton’s quote like you guys read it. Of course I remember the guy parsing the word ‘is’. . . so words matter.

When he says:

I want to say also, that this may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind

I read, ‘I’m not going to help Obama in the general election at all. This is my last day. I am done.’ To me it sounds like a threat to the Obama campaign rather than an indication that Hillary is going to quit.

ThackerAgency on June 2, 2008 at 3:46 PM

Rudi is indignant.

Entelechy on June 2, 2008 at 3:40 PM

Rudy was John McCain’s stalking horse in Florida. His entire focus was to ensure that McCain, not Mitt Romney, won the Florida primary.

Just like Fred Thompson was John McCain’s stalking horse in South Carolina to ensure that McCain, not Huckabee, won that primary.

Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 3:51 PM

ThackerAgency on June 2, 2008 at 3:46 PM

You’re correct that Bill will never help campaign for Obama.

I think Bill’s statement is also a reflection that if Hillary does keep going, Bill will be sidelined so that he doesn’t create any more “distractions” for Hillary.

It ain’t over until Hillary says it’s over. Even then, it really isn’t over until the General Election is over, because she could have BO go the way of Vince Foster any time between now and then and claim that she is the most suitable replacement. All she has to do is blame it on the Republicans (which would actually be easier for her to do if she “suspends”, becuase then it looks like she has conceeded gracefully and she could claim, “It’s those racist Republicans and the VRWC who took him out.”)

1968?

History repeating itself?

I wonder if Obama has any plans to visit California this month.

Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 3:58 PM

Red Pill on June 2, 2008 at 3:51 PM

Fact of the matter, John McCain isn’t even close to being the right candidate for this election. The whole process was rigged so McCain wouldn’t be “bitch slapped” by reality the way he was in South Carolina in 2000. He enters this campaign season distrusted by most of his base constiuency with little inclination to make ammends for his eight-year temper tantrum. He will be bitch slapped by reality in November when an utterly unqualified candidate beats him because his base, even if they vote for him, will have declined to do the heavy lifting required to support a candidate. This, of course, will be blamed on the social conservatives and evangelicals instead of putting blame where it belongs- on the cranky old bastard who stole the GOP nomination and makes no pretense at his utter loathing of the part of his party who holds conservative values.

highhopes on June 2, 2008 at 3:59 PM

What a load of cr@p, Rudy and McCain were fighting over the same voters, If Rudy wasn’t on the ballot in FL McCain would have won by an even larger margin.

Chakra Hammer on June 2, 2008 at 3:59 PM

Nope. Mccain would have lost florida to Huck or Mitt if Rudy wasn’t on the ballot.

Actually polls a few days before florida primary showed Huck was winning by a large margin as everyone assumed he would have won south carolina(which he would have, if Mccains stalking horse Thompson, would have dropped out earlier).

SaintOlaf on June 2, 2008 at 4:16 PM

I have no idea why Hillary is announcing a major speech from NY on Wednesday; however, Obama just announced that he will also be in NY on Wednesday.

All I know for sure is this. The Democrat Party tossed Hillary overboard a few months back. The MSM tossed both Bill and Hill overboard several months back. The Kennedy’s tossed both Bill and Hill off the bridge a few months back. Richardson tossed Hillary under the bus; Soros tossed Hillary under the bus. The list is long & very impressive!

Payback is going to be worth the price of admission to watch. The Clinton’s saved that party from irrelevance in the 90′s. Many today have their position in that party thanks (in part) to the Clinton’s.

Do I feel sorry for the Clinton’s? Hell no! Devils advocate! I’m simply going to sit back and watch as the goons start showing up to collect on their notes.

Keemo on June 2, 2008 at 4:22 PM

Surely they’ve heard of the possible Michelle “whitey” tape. The Clintons will hang on until the air is out of that hope.

thegreatbeast on June 2, 2008 at 4:25 PM

And then Wednesday night, McCain names Sarah Palin his VP candidate?

playblu on June 2, 2008 at 1:56 PM

How interesting! If McCain names a VP well in advance of the convention, and names a woman, it forces Obama to also nominate a woman — and then Obama looks like he’s just copying McCain. But aren’t there downsides to naming your VP so early? Don’t most candidates wait until right before the convention to select the VP? Bush, for example, picked Cheney on July 25, 2000, and the GOP convention was set to begin July 31st.

Outlander on June 2, 2008 at 4:43 PM

Re. thirty-four SD endorsing Obama Wed.

Does anyone else think this “news” from NBC is worded funnily?

First statement:

Buzz on the Capitol Hill suggests that has many as 34 of the undeclared superdelegates residing in the House will endorse Obama by Wednesday.

Next statement:

As many as 18 of these 34…will come out for Obama tomorrow so he can edge closer to his magic number before the vote counting ends in South Dakota and Montana.

Final statement:

No other member of the Dem leadership is expected to endorse Obama while Clinton is still running.

The first statement points to a suggestion based on buzz that up to thirty-four SDs will come out for the big ‘O’ Wed. The next statement seems to reduce that number to 18, why? Then the final statement says that not even the current “buzz” can yield the rest of the SDs, and that they will remain uncommitted until Clinton drops out; again why? Strange way to “break” the news that on Wed. Obama will be “The One.”

Barring some unforeseen event we’ll have to wait until 2012 for the Clintstones rerun. If Imam Obama picks a woman for VP Rosie, or a sister from Farrakhan’s mosque has a better chance of being selected than Hillary.

I wasn’t “pretending to ‘bleed’ for Mr. Romney”.

I was describing part of how McCain went from 4th place finish in Iowa on January 3rd to media-declared “presumptive nominee” 33 days later on Super Tuesday. It was a blitzkrieg involving the McCain campaign, 2 stalking horses, Democrats in Florida, and the media. When Mitt decided he couldn’t win, instead of fighting the good fight against McCain (to keep McCain from 1191 and force a brokered convention), Romney joined the Axis of Evil and tried his best (on Feb 7th and again on Feb 14th) to force Huckabee out of the race.

It’s all good…

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Sekhmet on June 2, 2008 at 7:18 PM

If I understand correctly, after last weekend’s DNC meeting, the new “target” is around 2,200.

With delegates but WITHOUT “Superdelegates,” I think Obama is around 1,800 and Clinton 1,700 (might be 1,900 and 1,800…).

Since the DNC’s intent that the “Supers” are independent until the August convention, WHY IS EVERYONE SAYING IT’S “OVER”?

This assumes Clinton sees a reason to CONCEDE. (angelic chorus: “HA!”)

I think Hillary has worked out a deal with Obama that will have Hillary endorse Obama, wish him well, and all of that stuff in exchange for Obama picking up the tab for the millions Hillary needs to clear the deck and walk clean. Not a bad deal for Obama and the DNC, as it would cost Obama millions to keep doing battle with her, and the DNC needs this battle to end in the worst of ways.

If Bill and Hill would have changed they may have had hope but they were clinging too much to their old ways.

I see it your way, too, Keemo at 7:59pm.

I don’t think that Hillary! will actively campaign on Obama’s behalf. She’ll pull the stunt of half-measures that the Clintons did when Gore was running.

An Obama pick is a sure loss for the Dems.

Go Dems!

There are so many sweet flavors of irony to choose from….

Hillary was shoved aside largely because a big chunk of the Democrat primary electorate got spooked over her negative numbers and switched their support to the attractive, electable alternative… who has spent the bottom half of the primary season becoming increasingly unelectable.

Hillary never could have been disposed of so easily, if Bill Clinton had not comprehensively destroyed the feminist movement. The feminists burned every shred of political influence and credibility defending Bill during the Year of Monica, and now they’re reaping the rewards… Now that Operation Chaos is drawing to a close, let’s give a warm welcome to Harridans and Harpies For McCain…

Obama never would have been taken seriously by the Democrat primary electorate if the Bush hatred nurtured by the Clintons had not spiraled out of their control, until the Clintons came to be seen as virtually Bush cronies by the foaming-at-the-mouth nutroots…

Hillary threw away one of her best weapons against Obama by cravenly flip-flopping against the war. Imagine if she had stood courageously behind her vote in favor, and was now able to slam the good news in Iraq down Obama’s throat and paint him as the lightweight he is…

The very same nutroots organizations that sprang up to defend Bill are the most vicious dogs bringing Hillary down. Remember what “MoveOn.org” was founded to “move on” from?

Yves Saint Laurent, the inventor of the pantsuit, died yesterday. Reports say Hillary is so stricken with grief she just couldn’t go on.

That could happen, and once she gets the money she makes sure Obama falls so hard that he is pereceived as “unelectable” in the general election, so the super delegates change their mind and vote for Hillary at the Dem convention.

Well I heard Ann Coulter say on Hannity’s show today that she thinks John McCain is exactly like Scott McClellan, so that’s one harpy that will probably vote democrat this year.

LOL! — Young Hillary Clinton!

Hey don’t forget, Red Pill’s the guy who also thinks Huckabee will end up the nominee.

Sekhmet on June 2, 2008 at 7:18 PM

Close, but no cigar. All I was told is that Huckabee will be the next POTUS. Huckabee will be sworn in as President on Bush’s last day. I don’t have any more details than that. When I asked for more details, He told me this, so I haven’t asked again.

I’m walking by faith, not by sight.

Red Pill on June 3, 2008 at 2:06 AM

And I remind you that I am not someone who has been trumpeting Huckabee from the beginning. If my state’s primary had been in January, I would have actually voted for Thompson. It was not until God told me on February 7th that Huckabee will be the next POTUS that I took that prophecy, added my own thoughts about who the other three players would be, and made the following prediction just after midnight:

Prediction:
Huckabee/Thomspon defeats Obama/Edwards this November.

Sure, but God told us the anti_Christ was coming, too. That doesn’t mean we have to support him.

P.S. How were you able to change your screen name?
