How's Tuesday going to work?

[Drunken Irishman]

Let's say Obama takes both South Dakota and Montana, as expected. What will Clinton's speech be and where is she delivering it? This will be the first time where there will not be another primary after the two states vote Tuesday. So unlike when Obama won the Virginia, Maryland and DC primaries and Clinton was giving her campaign speech in Texas, there isn't another state for her to go. She can try and give a speech about taking it to the convention or how she has the popular vote, but it'll be an even tougher argument to make if she loses both states Tuesday. At least before, when either candidate failed to win a primary on a Tuesday, she can't go to another upcoming primary state and pretty much ignore the results of that day -- as she did when Obama won Wisconsin and she was speaking in Ohio (I think that's where she gave her speech that night).

So what does Clinton do? She probably won't be able to speak about victory, unless she pulls out South Dakota. And while possible, I think she severely hurt her chances there by spending the past week campaigning in Puerto Rico. She can talk about that Puerto Rico primary again, but that'd look pretty pathetic. She can't talk about the upcoming primary in the state she's in, since there aren't any left. She can't talk about seating Florida and Michigan, since that's already been settled. So what does she say? It'll be interesting to see where Clinton is and what she says Tuesday. Because it's going to be pretty tough to make the case you're a better candidate and deserve the nomination more when you lose two states with hardly any blacks and coastal elitists.

8. i hope you're wrong,

but her speech in puerto rico didn't sound like she was going away any time soon.

2. I'm sure she'll come up with something.....

Look, The day Hillary realizes that everyone knows that she hasn't been attacked by either Obama, the GOP or McCain for months and months, that will be the day that she realizes that her popularity is fake and based only on the fact that she's been propped up by no one really taking any potshots at her for a long, long time.

In the GE, Hillary would have been destroyed in a matter of minutes.

3. A new batch of SD's are supposed to be coming out for Obama by Weds/Thurs I keep hearing ~nt~

[Thrill]

4. Bottom line he needs at least 10 Supers to come out for him tomorrow

[bunnies]

They can always come out en masse on Tues.

Wouldnt surprise me one bit.

5. Hillary Will Give Her Stump Speech To A Couple Hundred People Somewhere...

Try to convince the SD's to change their minds by lying about the popular vote and cherry-picked polls, she'll promote her website for donations and barely mention Obama.

6. "Narnia, Middle-Earth, Shangri-la, Brigadoon, and Munchkin Land must be seated!"

10. Don't forget Mars

I'm sure HRC saw a voter or 2 up there on the video sent back recently.

[Liberal Veteran]

11. Yeah, but they were at the Utopia Planatia Starbucks.

She knows those elitist latte-sipping Martians lean heavily towards Obama.

7. "Meet me in Keenan's Piano Bar in Inwood for a REAL DEBATE!"(hic)

9. If he wins both she won't give a speech. She won't call him. SHe will act like it never happened. nt
