Hillary's Returning to New York - for Her Concession Speech, Perhaps?

[Stephanie]

It's traditional for candidates to give the concession speech from their home state, isn't it?

Coming home?

Hillary's spending Monday night in New York City, a suggestion that she'll be having election night in her home state Tuesday.

That would be her first New York election night since Super Tuesday,when she won big states but, in retrospect, more or less lost the nomination.

dont hold your breath on that...n/t...

1. As a NYer I've been happy with Hillary in the senate

less happy with her campaign style lately.

[YDogg]

2. maybe just returning to her day job

[billyoc]

4. She's only HAD one job since 2000. Running for President.

She sucks at it. God only knows why she's coming back here now for. :scared:

[YDogg]

7. good point.

[Stephanie]

11. To raise the money to pay herself back?

I can't think of any other reason.

[billyoc]

24. I can't see a real big turnout for THAT fundrasier!

:rofl:

[davidwparker]

3. Her time was 2004. She missed it.

5. Where's the New York DU meetup Tuesday night?

:hi:

[Stephanie]

14. I wish I could host one!

I'm booked up that night, but DFNYC might be doing something. Do you ever go to their meetups? I'll send you info if you want it.

[billyoc]

17. I've got it.

:hi:

6. Given that Mac said that Obama would be a good candidate in the fall

and then going for the usual talking points... perhaps... I took his words as a signal... just that you had to be VERY ALERT to catch it

[AllentownJake]

8. Won't read too much into this

The primaries are over and she hasn't been to her home in NY in ages. Perhaps she just wants to sleep in a bed that is formula for one night or spend a quiet day with Bill and Chelsea away from the campaign?

[thewiseguy]

10. If anywhere she should be in Montana or South Dakota

I think this is big news.

[yourguide]

13. why? she's going to lose both.

no reason for a victory speech in either state. This is her last victory.

[thewiseguy]

16. She could at least hold rallies there on Monday night

Bill is campaigning there. What does she gain by going back to NewYork?

[yourguide]

18. Not speaking publicly in the final contest she lost.

[yourguide]

9. I dont read anything into this either...

She wont win the last 2 on Tuesday so there is no reason for her to go anywhere but back to NY.

[EFerrari]

12. That would be a good outcome.

I wish I could trust her campaign to do something that appropriate.

[TeamJordan23]

15. I wonder if her supporter, Harriet Christian, will be in attendence.

19. Hahahahaha!

[nadinbrzezinski]

THis is a Youtube classic now

[foo_bar]

20. "UPDATE: Or maybe not: She's spending Tuesday night in Washington."

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0608/Coming_home.html

I don't think she'll ever give a concession speech, the best we should hope for is a "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore" speech.

[Stephanie]

25. Oh Criminy.

It's time for the bimbos to erupt, we can't take any more of this.

[Muttocracy]

21. update added at link - in D.C. Tuesday

UPDATE: Or maybe not: She's spending Tuesday night in Washington.

[PoliticalAmazon]

22. Maybe she's going to deliver another insult to African-Americans....

and wanted to make sure her constituents in Harlem got the message.

It has been a couple of weeks now. I know she's been busy and all, but she's behind schedule in her insults on A-A's at this point.

[rodeodance]

23. UPDATE: Or maybe not: She's spending Tuesday night in Washington.

[slinkerwink]

26. seems she's going to be in Washington DC after all
