She's really going for it. What a self-involved bullshit artist.

[billyoc]

She'll live out her remaining years in well-deserved obscurity with Geraldine Ferraro.

[Thrill]

1. The Supers will stop her

[apocalypsehow]

2. Yep - all the way to the convention and beyond. She's hoping McCain wins this year, then

she gets another crack at it in 2012.

[pbca]

4. She's going to the Republican convention too

That's what I hear anyway.

[Bok_Tukalo]

7. The problem with that scenario is Roe v Wade is toast

and she gets blamed in the same way Nader was blamed for 2000.

Both are unfair since a candidate should win on their own merits but a McCain presidency would not help her, it would doom her. She screwed up. 2004 was her year.

[MJJP21]

58. I don't think so

Even without Barack I don't see the republicans having any kind of meaningful majority in either the senate or house. I really expect a major shift in power with both houses. If people don't vote overwhelmingly for Barack and I think they will you might see a record of voters splitting their vote.

[MH1]

52. She will be obliterated in Iowa and NH in 2012, if she's dumb enough to try.

They won't forget how she gamed them this year.

5. She is WORSE than Ferraro

vieja es pendeja

[Faygo Kid]

27. By far. Ferraro is just an embarassment. Hillary is a clear and present danger.

Goodbye, Hillary.

You and your cult are finished.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

42. That photo just blows me away.

Smiling and waving at a solemn site and event like that. :grr:

[K Gardner]

6. She certainly has sealed her own legacy. Will go down in history .. but not like she thinks.

[Rageneau]

8. The best thing about Hillary is how mad she makes Hillary-haters.

I hope she enjoys watching them throw conniptions as much as I do.

She needs a a good laugh.

[hfojvt]

31. yeah, it's about time somebody sticks it to those damn liberals

they've been having their way for too long. You must have enjoyed the Bush years too since Bush sure was good at making Hillary-haters mad too.

[natrat]

43. The best thing about Hillary is how mad she makes Hillary-haters

pathetic

[C_U_L8R]

9. Ricky Martin !!!

nuff said

[Thickasabrick]

13. I always liked him - maybe he will come around after she concedes n/t

[C_U_L8R]

20. La Vida Loca indeed !!

[MzNov]

10. just heard a bit of her "acceptance" speech

I don't think I could name a more egotistical, divisive figure in the history of this country. This woman is truly playing a political game that is beyond comprehension. She will refuse to the day Obama is sworn in, to admit she lost, demanding she won the popular vote and demanding she won all the super delegates.

Absolutely mind boggling. I don't even get furious any more, it's just so so pathetic. She will never genuinely or honestly urge her supporters to vote for Barack Obama. She'll be pulling the strings long after Jan. 20, 2009.

What a huge disappointment and unfortunate mess this one woman has made.




sp.

[Why Syzygy]

12. This is how she deals with Bill's infidelities. Outright Denial.

[hfojvt]

33. the Tsarina is a fighter

Not against the Bush administration or the corporate world - just against those damn moveon and code pink hippies.

[TexasObserver]

11. I think she's just setting the stage to sprint through the finish line.

She will say "it's up to them," and know that the superdelegates will go to Obama.

I think she's running for VP, but she could still have the presidential delusion going.

[FrenchieCat]

16. She was talking about her 2nd term as president.

She is misleading voters and getting on my nerves.......really, really bad.

Add McAuliffe's "Obama doesn't do well with the Hispanic vote" divisive bullshit.

They both can kiss my ass.

[Major Hogwash]

37. Did she say that recently?

Hitler ordered up troops to the Western front that no longer existed, too.

[WeDidIt]

14. You're listening to too many bloviating pundits

Their job is to try and force this to a convention.

Hillary will concede and end on a classy note.

[nomaco-10]

18. You couldn't be more wrong. Listen to ickes and others....

She is " in it to win it" or take this party down. She has said as much in recent weeks and ickes said as much yesterday.

[WeDidIt]

25. Edwards was going all the way to the convention

the day before he dropped out.

[goclark]

54. But Edwards is a class act

[nomaco-10]

15. Yep, I got chided yesterday for saying so....

She will forever be remembered for tearing this party completely apart. bill and chelsea have been nonstop campaigning in montana and SD for days, does that look like a candidate that's ready to concede and unite this party?

It's scorched earth people, whether people want to believe it or not.

[HockeyMom]

17. Ferraro was my Rep. in Queens many moons ago

Yes, I would say Geraldine and Hillary are two peas in a pod.

[billyoc]

22. I voted for Ferraro, too.

[Elspeth]

19. And Ferraro is so obscure that you know who she is. :)

Maybe you should have said "Paul Tsongas." And if you say "Who?" then that's my point. :)

[HockeyMom]

26. She was Mondale's VP

Sorry, you must be too young to remember.

[Elspeth]

30. Yeah. My point was that Paul Tsongas was more obscure and would have made a better example

He ran in the 92 primary. Big on nuclear power, though.

[JerseygirlCT]

32. Obscure perhaps, but I don't remember him as being divisive... nt

[Elspeth]

36. He barely memorable at all. Died of cancer.

Very sad. But quite obscure. And if you're gonna wish obscurity for someone, he makes a good example.

[JerseygirlCT]

40. Well, not so obscure to me

I remember him well, and admired him greatly. Hispassing was sad.

And I think the point here was that her campaign's divisiveness would condemn her to obscurity.

I'm not sure that's the case, though I do think it will stick with her and stain both her legacy and her husband's. But her position will likely save her from obscurity. Not sure that will be a blessing to her, however.

[Elspeth]

41. He was an East Coast guy

New England. I remember voting for him in the 92 primary. I liked his message.

[JerseygirlCT]

48. Yup.

He had that sort of stubborn Yankee fiscal responsibility streak. And wasn't particularly charismatic, unfortunately for him. Smart guy and lots of integrity.

[Elspeth]

49. I remember that about him.

I think that's why he appealed to me. I was sorry when he passed actually. He represented my kind of Dem.

[JerseygirlCT]

51. Yeah, I have a soft spot for the smart guy every time

Even if he/she isn't particularly charismatic.

[SoxFan]

50. Elspeth, you are a horse's ass

Paul Tsongas was one of the most decent and honorable men ever to serve in Congress. I am extremely offended at your flippant "eh, he died of cancer" bit. I suggest you go and read his booh "Heading Home".

Oh, and for the record, Paul Tsongas win primaries and caucuses in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Utah, Washington, Arizona, Delaware, Maryland and finished ahead of Bill Clinton in Minnesota, Idaho, and Connecticut.

[AllentownJake]

29. In all fairness

The only gig Ferraro can get is Foxnews and she ran a failing campaign for Senate in NY choice both times getting her but kicked in the primaries.

[HockeyMom]

34. I don't remember her doing very much

for my district. Honestly, her claim to fame at the time was that she was a WOMAN. Probably why she and Hillary are so buddy/buddy. Misery loves company?

[AllentownJake]

39. Mondale

knew he was going to lose and lose badly. Reagan was very popular and a great campaigner and he was well Walter Mondale. He went searching for something to make him and his candiacy different. She was it.

It was a hail mary.

[Major Hogwash]

38. And no women were on any Democratic national tickets for the next 24 years as a result.

And Hillary is trying to repeat that same accomplishment.

[nomaco-10]

21. We are witnessing her own version of the Nuclear Option.....

it started yesterday with ickes at the dnc, and now in PR.

[Stephanie]

23. What is going on?

I couldn't watch her speech.

[MGKrebs]

24. They're just upset because they can't wait two more days.

The campaign is still active and she is acting and talking like an active campaigner. From there, they are projecting that this will continue indefinitely.

Just the standard invented excuse to be outraged.

[billyoc]

28. "On to Victory!" "we're winning the popular vote" "we won MI and FL"...

[Major Hogwash]

35. Not only does she still have a seat in the Senate from which to pontificate,

but her chair has now been moved to the corner and turned around so she has to face the wall.

A well-deserved "time out", in my opinion.

[billyoc]

44. Right, in England I guess they'd call her a "back bencher".

[LaurenG]

45. I don't think she will. I think she is done now. She will wait until

the last two states vote and then she'll bow out.

[Whisp]

46. what she do/say now?

I'm guessing its yet another pillory hillary moment.

[Yael]

55. Her acceptance speech in Puerto Rico today.

Shes "taking it to the convention" because she "won the popular vote", the "PEOPLE have spoken" and the "SDs are flocking to her".

Likely just scaring up what cash is left out there to pay off her loan.

I will worry on Wednesday.

[Whisp]

57. I just can't take her seriously on that threat anymore.

at one time it worried me too, but now it's just a friggin joke.

sure, she can take her pantsuit filled with divisive shit to Denver, but so could anyone.

big deal. yap away Hillary, the curtain is closing on you.
There are more sensible people in this game that outright lunatics. and I'll betcha there are a lot of so called 'loyalists' that have been threatened to be so and now have a wide window of opportunity to tell the Clintons to finally piss off.

[MattBaggins]

47. Do we have a recall mechanism in NY?

I have written our NY supers and asked them to make a decesion by June 9th, giving them the weekend to mull it over. I don't care if they vote for Hillary. I just want them to get off the pot. If Hillary does not concede after that date and turns this into an ugly fist fight she will find herself with true opposition to her 2012 Senate run.

[billyoc]

53. There is no recall mechanism for U.S. Senators. In ANY state.

It is, in fact, unconstitutional. :(

[Yael]

56. The annoying part is that she is playing the victim card to the hilt

designed to anger her people. She will go out of this race with them pissed off.

Not disappointed like the Edwards people (with his CLASSY suspension), but pissed off and no remedy.

She's going nuclear.
