Clinton Campaign talking about this all being over by mid June??? WTF is up with that? |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-29-08 09:47 PM by Johnny__Motown
On MSNBC's "Race For The White House" today they quoted Terry McAuliffe as saying it may all be over by June 15th.
Then Joe (asshat) Scarborough said he heard something from inside the Clinton Campaign that was similar. That something was going to happen in June, that this was not going to go to Denver.
My WILD guess is that she will try to blackmail her way onto the ticket as V.P. in return for her concession and endorsement.
Any other thoughts?

They are finally realizing that win, lose or draw -- this thing needs to END in June.

2. They don't hold to anything they say. |
|
So it means nothing.
But, it will be over by June 3rd. Whether Hillary let's go and accepts defeat, then, is to be seen.

...but I was giving my daughter a bath so I wasn't sure who said what to who. I couldn't find a thread here on it so I'm glad you posted. My speculation is it has to do with money and Jim Clyburn.

The Clinton campaign was predicting that it would be over by super Tuesday too.

she and all her ilk had better pray to whatever weird dieties they have, for his health and safety...

42. You misunderstood. The Rezko trial is heating up and the Wright |
|
fiasco is about to be eclipsed by it. Obama is up to his eyeballs in the dirty politics of Chicago. Hillary does not have to do anything. His partners in crime will do it all. He doesn't have a monitor in that court for nothing.

15. I don't believe he will. |
|
1. He's much too smart. He knows her high negatives translate into a huge rethug turnout, which might be the only way The Dems can lose in 2008.
2. He's too principled. If he is able to reject his long time pastor as he did today, he can certainly reject Hillary, who has proved herself unworthy of any respect or deference.

8. Didn't two separate people say it... |

...one said it was someone "very high up" in the Clinton campaign and the other said Terry McAuliffe also said it would be over by June.

Can't prove it was 2 seperate people. Maybe Joe was talking to Terry. He didn't give his source

10. Howard Dean stated that it would be over in June as well, I believe |
|
that the party realizes what HRC is doing is harming the party and dividing it to the point that it will not be able to win the White House. Everyone knows that Obama is the nominee by the math and the truth is known to the party leaders.

"clinging" remarks in SF, then one last thing and boom, it's over in a heartbeat
and the party will rally around Hillary for victory in the fall.

22. I saw that earlier. Carney also said there was something up |

I got the feeling something big was in the works. I took it as the supers breaking fast toward Obama since Shuster said 25-30 supers were poised to go to Obama if he wins N.C. big.

23. Whatever the situation, if Hillary somehow manages to steal this nomination... |

She will never, never win the GE... There will be so many outraged people that won't be voting for her.... (JMOOC) but I see this happening in huge numbers.

46. Obama has to earn the nomination. He has not been able to close the deal. |
|
It's a testament to his rejection by the voters. Don't even think about all the money he has been throwing around. Can't buy a vote.

Heard him on the radio the other day--said that they were going to settle the nomination by June so the party "would have time to heal" before the convention. So sayeth the DNC. Now, what it MEANS I can't tell you, but Dean also made reference to the delegate math and said that it would be nuts for the superdelegates to overturn the popular vote. Take it for what it's worth... :shrug:

he can't make delegates or superdelegates commit to vote for someone or declare who they are voting for. It's just hot air.
