Does anybody else find it ironic that Hillary is supposedly ‘Dropping’ out on Friday…D-Day?

Hillary comes from the Alinsky school, where the end justifies the means. Friday is “D-Day“, indeed. 40 years to the day.

Could she really make that happen tomorrow?
Could she really get away with it?

Please tell me Obama won’t be in California tomorrow.

How many times has the MSM reported some errant rumor from some unnamed insider that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is over. Just a couple days ago, the MSM reported she’d be out after the Democratic committee decided to continue the disenfranc…

I wanted you to be one of the first to know: on Saturday, I will hold an event in Washington D.C. to thank everyone who has supported my campaign. Over the course of the last 16 months, I have been privileged and touched to witness the incredible dedication and sacrifice of so many people working for our campaign. Every minute you put into helping us win, every dollar you gave to keep up the fight meant more to me than I can ever possibly tell you.

On Saturday, I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans.

I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democratic Party’s nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise.

When I decided to run for president, I knew exactly why I was getting into this race: to work hard every day for the millions of Americans who need a voice in the White House.

I made you — and everyone who supported me — a promise: to stand up for our shared values and to never back down. I’m going to keep that promise today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life.

I will be speaking on Saturday about how together we can rally the party behind Senator Obama. The stakes are too high and the task before us too important to do otherwise.

I know as I continue my lifelong work for a stronger America and a better world, I will turn to you for the support, the strength, and the commitment that you have shown me in the past 16 months. And I will always keep faith with the issues and causes that are important to you.

In the past few days, you have shown that support once again with hundreds of thousands of messages to the campaign, and again, I am touched by your thoughtfulness and kindness.

I can never possibly express my gratitude, so let me say simply, thank you.

She must not have understood my emails that I wouldn’t contribute to her campaign…she’s persistent

Who woulda thunk it…Terry is charming when he gets together with Bacardi.

Rumors, shrumers, Hilly is goin’ nowhere baby.
(Heck, I feel like I’ve been sucking down those shots too! I got a contact drunk from McAwful? Whoo-hee…hit me again.)

Good point.

As the door slams on Clinton’s ample rump, I’ve just got to wonder what is next for her thighness now that her decade-long plan to win the Presidency is coming to an end. I suspect that she’ll linger until the convention and then go back to the Senate and become a slightly less attractive version of Teddy Kennedy.

What does she have to lose at this point?

Depends on what Barry O’ gets from her at concession time. He gives her 20 very large to retire her debt and she’d better give him a promise not to run or interfere signed in blood with one of her porcine hoofprints on it. Even then I’d worry if I were him. Rules, promises, pledges, etc. mean nothing to Herself or the Impeached ex-President. He’s not going to see his dream of being “First Laddie” go away.

Somehow through my reading glasses, I mistook the comment to read: “I admire her grift.”*

And I thought to myself, you have just read my mind, girlfriend! Mrs. Clinton is working out the logistics of forcing Senator Obama to pay off her campaign debt. Which means she’ll receive principal and interest on her campaign loan. Bottom line: Mrs. Clinton turned a profit by running for the Presidency of the United States.

If I were a young idealistic kid, clacking at my keyboard to drop $20 cash into Senator Obama’s coffers via PayPal, I’d feel like a total chump.

* grift (=noun) (1) A swindle (2) Money made dishonestly, as in a swindle.

I guess it comes down to what is important to YOU.

Hillary remains the Energizer Bunny.
No need to concede until the convention tally.

There’s ONE thing Hillary now shares with Fred Thompson, the MSM premature predictions of the resignation time and date. Everyone wants to play Nostradamus. I’m a seer! I’m a seer! So crystal balls can be bought and sold, just like Super Delegates.

According to ABC News and Reuters, Hillary will official concede at an event this Saturday. So far I haven’t read about any terse reactions from the Clinton camp as in the past so perhaps this mainstream media prediction will come true (of course the…

ABC: Hillary out by Friday

The media thinks they can force her hand?

They’re dreaming.

Do you recall the car accident killing one of the leading people?

No, I don’t. Do you have a link?

I see she wants to keep her delegates? uh…why? If she’s bailing, she’s bailing. Don’t keep an eye on her, keep an eye on who her husband is meeting with.

She will return. Just like the old horror movies, the monster is never really dead, there is always enough doubt for a sequel.

True.

Just think how different things would be if the tapes of Wright had been aired about a day or two before the Iowa primary.

Great point, Terrye. And the stupid thing is that they were sitting out there on the TUCC website, for sale and for all to see. Who would have ever thought a Clinton would go down for lack of oppo research.

Obama was groomed by Hillary to be her VP running mate.
Hillary got him his speaking slot at the 2004 Democrat convention.
Hillary helped him win his Senate seat.
Hillary never did oppo research on him because he was supposed to only pretend to run against her, and then drop out and become her VP.
She was totally blindsided when he won Iowa and she realized he was going to challenge her for the nomination.

Hillary did plenty of oppo research on the Republicans, and she chose McCain as her opponent of choice, then manipulated FL & MI in an attempt to get Democratic voters to crossover and vote for McCain. It is what helped McCain win Florida. The fact that Hillary picked McCain as her opponent means that she most certainly has dirt on him.

I expect even if she died during a campaign, they would just say she has a bad cold and Bill would run things with her mummified corpse in the White House family quarters after the election.

According to ABC, Hillary Clinton will concede the race to Barack Obama on Friday. The race is now (almost) officially between John McCain and Hope McChangerton. How on earth can McCain beat a man who has already made history? It……
