On edit

This is all MacAuliffe speaking like an idiot.

If you listen to his first statement he is saying "She will acknowledge once Obama has the number"

Now he is saying "No one has the numbers and the race goes on".

First class idiot no matter how you slice it

[still_one]

1. I knew it was bullshit. Even in the original wording told me she would not conceed /nt

[grantcart]

4. the odd thing is that they had some source from the Clinton campaign the first time

[still_one]

7. The way she has ran her campaign is the best reason why she shouldn't be president /nt

[yojon]

76. Maybe KKKarl if giving her strange drugs

to cause her to lurch blindly into the raging storm in order to split the Democrats. The Hillary supporters calling Stephanie Miller were really bitter. I do not recall anything like this. The only one she is benefiting by this crazy behavior is McCain. I get the feeling she is being manipulated...

[jeanruss]

79. concede

Good spelling is important, especially in headlines....

[eShirl]

2. he's on cnn.com live right now

saying the ap report is 100% reporting incorrectly

fight continues on UNTIL one candidate has enough delegates for the nomination

[JeanGrey]

57. Is everyone that is involved with her and including her insane?

This is really ridiculous - YOU HAVE LOST HILLARY. For god's sake go away.

[DJ13]

She's determined to go down as the biggest sore loser in history

Thats becoming obvious.

[Blaq Dem]

8. She's desperate enough to burn the whole house down

Without any regrets.

[ryanmuegge]

23. After all, they've got their millions. What the fuck do they care about the country?

[UncleTomsEvilBrother]

38. Oh, brother....

Now, we'll have to deal with another speech that starts with, "They've been telling me to get out of this race since Iowa....."

Dammit!!!!

[bdamomma]

12. a sore loser, and desperate.

wasn't 8 years enough for the Clinton dynasty. Come on Hillary do the math huh?

[wtmusic]

15. She will be perceived more so because of dirty tricks like this

Probably the same source as the Mickey Kantor hoax.

[natrat]

47. dlc=designated party of failure=clinton=the whole fucking corrupt junta

[Waya]

3. Yes? No? Maybe?

I need a drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kittycat]

5. Only because they don't think he'll have the delegates. If he does...

then who knows. Maybe she'll speak BEFORE the requisite total comes out?

[grantcart]

18. Well it seems that their latest statement is a very tough worded 'no'

[Blaq Dem]

6. Lies after lies...who keep coming up with this crap? n/t

[Diane R]

9. This makes more sense. She's going to be a sore loser through and through.

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Harold Iccky just said it won't happen on MSNBC

Like I said ......... Wait until the 15th of June.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. LOL!

I should have freaking known. Ah, well. :(

[grantcart]

16. good thing there is no limit on threads in LBN lol

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. No kidding. Today has potential to be riddled with media assertions followed by retractions

Speaking of retractions. I'd like to formally retract my congratulations to Senators Obama and Clinton in the previous thread. It would appear I was a tad premature.

[Pirate Smile]

13. The All Drama Campaign continues. Way to yo-yo with the emotions of your supporters.

[doublethink]

14. Damn .......

I went from this .....



to back to this ........



In like the last 10 minutes. Common Dorthy wake up !!

[beac]

59. I was in the dentist chair having gum surgery...

while the talking heads on the Fox (yes, my dentist is a Republican, but he's the only one in town on my healthplan) opined on the likelihood of her conceding--- including a Hillary supporter who went on and on about "when she's in the White House" :crazy:. I was tempted to ask for a novocaine shot straight to the brain!

I swear, I couldn't tell you which is more agonizing... the pain killers wearing off or thinking we're in for three more months of Clinton sending out her flying monkeys!

[doublethink]

73. Novocaine straight to the brain ..... gawd I know what you mean.

Wake me when it's over. Think we'll be celebrating tonight though ..... the super delegates countdown today is going like clockwork. Should be over 2118 by the time South Dakota and Montana come in tonight. :party:

[beac]

83. I hope you are right with

every aching fiber of my being-- sore gums included. :)

[KamaAina]

74. Those are not monkeys, they are pigs

thinking we're in for three more months of Clinton sending out her flying monkeys!

If there's anything flying around HRC these days, it's pigs. Count on it.

[beac]

81. Poor piggys...

forced to don wings and flap around just so she can say "They said I'd make it this far when pigs flew, well..."

It's animal abuse, really. ;)

[Bleacher Creature]

17. My guess is that the first story was leaked too early. She'll still probably concede

once the polls close in SD and MT.

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. She won't "concede" .... I bet she will use the term 'Suspend"

We shall see.

[grantcart]

26. Their latest statement is that they won't even 'acknowledge'

[Ichingcarpenter]

32. Mixed Messages mean that the inner circle is in Chaos. The Message

was leaked prematurely and they had to backtrack before the polls closed.

Doing it before the polls closed was a very bad strategy and would turn off supporters
from voting in those primaries.

[Bleacher Creature]

35. This makes a LOT of sense. n/t

[grantcart]

37. I think your correct but what makes them look stupid is to try and pull it once that it is out

Now it looks like they are complete idiots

[Ichingcarpenter]

39. I still think she will use the word suspend and not concede

What a fun Day!!! I can't wait to hear the speeches tonight.

[JeanGrey]

58. Mark my words, they are waiting to find something horrible

to put out there on either him or his wife.

[Blaq Dem]

25. Was that before or after she took a drink of that liquor?

[nebula]

19. The Clinton Zombie campaign marches on

[ryanmuegge]

21. Big fucking surprise.

Jesus Christ.

[Peacetrain]

22. Well, this has done it for me

This continual one way then another.. that the Clinton campaign and the moving of goal posts..changing from the Michigan vote, (does not count) to now its not the delegate count.. I will not support her for vp.. We cannot have this kind of continual drama in the white house..

[grantcart]

27. LOL can you imagine Terry MacAuliffe as her press seccretary in the VP

That would be like making Gomer Pyle head of the Joint Cheifs lol

33. No No No... can you imagine

The shifting platforms are just breath taking.. it would be a nightmare :)

[bdamomma]

28. oh, and just think while this goes on

mr mcsame is just sitting back watching us self destruct, hillary just does not want to do the math!!!!!

[Maeve]

29. Here's the updated MSNBC story link

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24944453/

"Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said Tuesday that once Obama gets the majority of convention delegates, "I think Hillary Clinton will congratulate him and call him the nominee."

The outcome could come by the end of the day with some choreography by the party's superdelegates. The party insiders were lining up behind Obama at a rate that could seal the nomination once results are in from Montana and South Dakota — or even before."

So the primary is not over yet. We await Clinton's speech tonight.

[AngryOldDem]

30. Terry, it's really easy.

Two words. We. Concede.

You can say it! I know you can!

This is just pure ego fueled by denial at work here. Pathetic, and truly unpresidential.

[madrchsod]

31. i guess he sobered up

and someone told him he made a complete ass out of himself on television

[Buzz Clik]

34. See you in August, Terry. August, 2012.

[Javaman]

36. Roving bands of morons. nt

55. I thought about that. Okay, about this...

a gaggle of goons.

[MidwestTransplant]

40. He's just drunk. If she doesn't concede she will just look stupid.

[MessiahRp]

41. This is what happens when you entrust a guy who is basically a used car salesman

with a high level campaign position. MacAuliffe was good for one thing... roping in big money donors (many of which happened to be shady).

He failed as an Administrator of our party and Howard Dean with his 50 state strategy and ability to reach out to smaller donors has absolutely made Terry's time at the DNC look pathetic in comparison.

Why the Clintons would think Terry would do much better on their campaign is beyond me.

[underpants]

51. and he is horribly bad as a communicator

he is either

the Eddie Haskell of politics

or

a dick with teeth

[KansDem]

42. AP v. MSNBC...Who to believe?

I mean it's not like they're both 100% credible.

[Jefferson23]

43. I know I am not alone on this, I will believe she is dropping out and campaigning for Obama

when I see it and hear it from her lips..and I have just a gut feeling here that she will give the most divisive and oddly worded concession speech in US history.

[Willo]

44. Just think, if Hillary created

a ten question, multiple-choice, reading comprehension test...

It would take forever to figure out the answers and another eternity debating them.

[rocktivity]

45. Fine, then--the solution is simple enough.

Obama should bring out enough SDs to clinch before the polls close!

:mad:
rocknation

[DirtyDawg]

48. Surely there's somebody that will....

...jerk her and Bill up by the short hairs and make it absolutely clear that if they pursue this line of destruction that they're political days are over. They she will never again be able to hold office at any level anywhere. They they will have gone down in history as the Benedict Arnolds and Arnettes of the 21st Century. Running in 20012 - you kiddin' me, they won't even be allowed to stay in the country. The Bush/Clinton/Bush era is over. Get the hell out of our lives now...forever...and be damn quick about it.

[Myrina]

49. Can I get a FLIP ? Can I get a FLOP?

Terry ... go away. Please. You're making it difficult to maintain even the slightest ounce of respect for Senator Clinton and her candidacy.

50. CNN 17 minutes ago-Clinton not ready to concede race, her campaign chair says

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/03/election.democrats/index.html

[LiberalFighter]

52. Do any of the responders to this post know anything about the process?

Few, if any of them do know and most likely don't even bother doing the research.

Has anyone had any experience with the delegate process? Absolutely NONE!!

There hasn't been a time going into a convention where the results have been this close by a long shot.

In addition, the results are not final until there is a floor vote AT the convention.

-----

On the other side

Todd is a effing idiot.
McAuliffe is a effing idiot and scumbag. And if Clinton does by chance get the nod we do not want this guy back in as the DNC chair.

And Clinton and her people have run a piss poor campaign. Which would suggest that their campaign would be so poorly operated that they could lose in November. Hillary has good speaking abilities but her staff are incompetent.

[grantcart]

I agree 100% oh wait

We do not agree


We intend to agree


There is no agreement


Why are people trying to force us to agree



This has nothing to do with process this has to with a bunch of amatuers who think they are ready for day one

[eilen]

53. I knew there was something up

when this morning they announced that a local undecided superdelegate was ready to pledge her support today for....... drumroll please

Hillary Clinton.

Because this SD feels that HRC is most likely to beat McCain in the Fall.

I wondered, who is this retard? (sorry to retards everywhere). It is the last day of the primaries and she is betting on the losing horse?

I live in NY.

[Zynx]

54. Of course. There is an election underway. You don't announce you're out before it happens.

[Plucketeer]

56. LOSERS

LOSERS INDEED :dunce: D u NC es

[damntexdem]

60. Let's just hold off on the predicting what HRC will do.

She doesn't deserve the spotlight, anyway.

The big issue about tonight is whether the primary results plus SD endorsements will put Obama over in a dramatic fashion tonight.

61. Long Primary Set to End with Obama Set to Clinch (AP Says Two Aides Spoke on Condition of Anonymity)

Source: Associated Press

Long primary set to end with Obama set to clinch

By TOM RAUM – 2 hours ago
CHICAGO (AP) — History within his reach, Barack Obama is primed to claim the Democratic presidential nomination, and his dogged rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, is preparing to concede once he's got the delegates.

Two Clinton aides have told The Associated Press that for all intents and purposes, her campaign is over. Obama could clinch the nomination Tuesday night, or even sooner.
The aides say once that happens, the New York senator will acknowledge that he's got the necessary delegates, but stop short of formally suspending or ending her campaign. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to divulge her plans.

Wow, how admirable to state a fact.

AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination
Jun 3 01:26 PM US/Eastern

WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama has effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates.

The tally put Obama over the top Tuesday, ahead of the results from the day's final primaries in Montana and South Dakota. The Illinois senator becomes the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House. Obama outlasted former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic contest and now faces Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona for the presidency.

65. This can't be accurate yet.

70. It is an AP article - Ed Schultz just read it on the radio. David Shuster said that MSNBC wont

say it until the votes are in after the polls close and people go public. (Shuster was on Ed's show when this article came across the wires)

[IndyOp]

66. Sorry, but Demconwatch & Obama site don't agree with your post...

Both Demconwatch shows 34 more delegates are needed to clinch.

http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/


Obama site shows 32 more needed:

[Dark]

69. According to the AP article

The AP tally was based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private commitments. It also included a minimum number of delegates Obama was guaranteed even if he lost the final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana later in the day.

But the list won't be made public yet.

68. eeek!

off to GD-P, before the next "Oh No He Dih n't"
comment?

[The Political Jerk]

71. The AP knows all. All bow down to the AP and their Mega-Tally System!

The AP counts private endorsements and guaranteed delegates.

They just wanted to be first. And they wanted to show off their TallyMaster5000, capable of naming a democratic nominee hours faster than any other tallying system.

[hokies4ever]

72. Why did Terry say that Hillary would concede if she lost on the Today show then?

[KamaAina]

75. Let me guess: She'll wait until 12:01 AM

so, technically, it won't be "tonight". :eyes:

[Ian David]

77. Has anyone ever seen Terry MacAuliffe and Baghdad Bob together at the same time?

Is it possible they're the same person?

[Born_A_Truman]

78. Ready, Fire, Aim

That seems to sum up the way this campaign has gone, IMO.

[ramapo]

80. I am so sick of that asswipe

I think he did HRC great disservice but then again she must've ok'd his rhetoric.

[rayofreason]

82. She's waiting for the Michelle tape..

..or at least rumours of such a tape to give the superdelegates cold feet.

[sonias]

84. Well Obama will have the number tonight won't he?

I am so ready to move forward and start fighting McCain and the republicans!

[Jack Rabbit]

85. Is any one still wonder why McAuliffe's greatest talent is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

??

[MilesColtrane]

86. She'll probably move this metric too.

Even though the choice of the rank and file of the Democratic party will be clear after the primaries today, she may not even concede after Obama gets enough super delegates pledged to support him.

Looks like Madame Napoleon wants to go to the convention. Maybe she's still waiting for "anything to happen" to Obama.
Her twisted logic now will be, that even pledged delegates don't really count until they actually cast a vote in Denver.

Christ...make it stop!

[MrsBrady]

87. it's true. i got an email from HRC here in Texas for those of us going to the State Convetion

it's true. i got an email from HRC here in Texas for those of us going to the State Convetion this weekend.

We are still on for the Convention this weekend.

[Oak2004]

88. Frankly I think this illustrates one of the campaign's biggest problems

I'll bet there are warring factions in her campaign: some say "concede", some say "hold on till the convention".

Both are making statements to the press, probably hoping that it will give their faction more weight.

Pathetic.
