http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/06/02/both-obama-and-clinton-to-be-in-nyc-wednesday/

"Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will both be in New York City Wednesday, one day after the last two primaries.

Clinton will be in Gotham starting Tuesday night, when she plans to give a speech after the results of the South Dakota and Montana contests, her campaign said. Obama, who plans to be in Minneapolis on Tuesday, will be in New York City on Wednesday for a Democratic National Committee event, his foreign policy adviser, Greg Craig, told MSNBC."

1. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit.

[K Gardner]

6. It may be so she can throw her support behind him in person. One thing I am certain of, this has

NOTHING to do with a VP spot.

[anonymous171]

10. I hope not.

:grr:

[wvbygod]

32. No need to get steamed

If the super dupers lean Obama then prepare yourself for Vice President Hillary. It has a smooth
sound to it but President Hillary Clinton feels so much warmer and wiser.

[Raster]

37. Not really.

[Arugula Latte]

52. "warmer and wiser" ... Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh.No.

[Why Syzygy]

22. It doesn't say they will be in the same venue, does it?

She's giving a speech. He's attending a DNC function. Did I miss something?

edit: the word on the nets is she isn't quitting.... fwiw

[susankh4]

25. Don't be so certain...

Howard Dean needs money for the convention. And... he knows there are MANY donors waiting for a Unity Ticket before they open their pursestrings.

[klook]

27. There are many of us waiting to "open our pursestrings"

until we're sure HRC is not the VP pick.

[enid602]

31. ironic

By vilifying the Clintons incessantly on this and other boards, Obama supporters have virtually forced Obama to offer her the VP spot; otherwise, there's no way to unify the party. It's ironic.

[K Gardner]

39. You don't SERIOUSLY believe Obama will decide based on an internet forum?? Freaky.

[enid602]

53. seriously

You don't seriously believe that Team Obama never approved of the vilification of the Clintons via internet forums? That's been the centerpiece of his campaign, and has enabled him to 'take the high road' by not personally saying negative things himself. Only thing is, it doesn't exactly unify the party after the primary.

[SwampG8r]

45. i agree

maybe something else but not VP

[Heather MC]

26. I think she is going to threaten to blow a hole in the ozone layer

if the DNC doesn't give her 20 Million dollars, and the nomination.
She is going to take herself and all her tight nit supporters
to an underground hiden bunker, while she awaits the DNC decision.

her demands will include
paying off her debt
becoming POTUS, and skipping the GE as well
Any proof that exist that she didn't win the popular vote will be striken from the record
She will also summon Superman to her to kneal before her and kiss her ring
oh and
a pony for Chelsea
:rofl:

[mamalone]

47. My sentiments exactly...

........not the words i would have used, but the same feeling. If she gets the vp, I think I will be sick. Seriously, seriously ill.

[underpants]

2. AIPAC conference? or is that in DC?

:shrug:

[MidwestTransplant]

15. DC and they were supposed to speak there on Wed. I believe.

[NightWatcher]

3. he better not offer her anything more than Sec of Health

she better fall in line and work for the Dem Nom.

[newmajority]

11. And even that job offer should only be valid if

...she completely abandons mandatory romneycare, renounces Satan and his DLC policies, and embraces HR 676.

[anonymous171]

13. Maybe she's just been pretending to support the DLC?

:shrug: She's lied about other things before.

[newmajority]

28. When you vote for the Iraq war and cluster bombs, and threaten to obliterate Iran

That ain't pretending.

[billyoc]

30. Well, then she's certainly fooled them, because she's one of their chieftans.

:rofl:

[PoliticalAmazon]

24. Bad strategy to have her in his administrtion. She simply is not trustworthy....

She will do anything to get what she wants. Giving her a position in her administration would be giving her a leg up to bring down Obama's administration.

GIving Hillary a place in his administration makes as much sense as giving John McCain a place in his administration. In fact, I'd trust McCain standing behind Obama more than I would Hillary.

[msallied]

4. Somewhere right now, jackson_dem is having a coronary.

[anonymous171]

17. I think he's already in the hospital from injuries suffered after he heard that JE endorsed Obama.

[butterfly77]

5. What happened...

did someone finally tell Hillary what has really been going on..

[msallied]

I think she's been offered something. She was holding the process for ransom, after all.

[Auntie Bush]

40. Do you think she deserves/earned anything when she won HALF the

Democratic vote? Just wondering? :shrug: Do you think one of our popular Nominees who can fill in the blanks for Obama belongs in the basement?

[SwampG8r]

46. i dont think that after a rancorous

primary season that is fitting to have her be VP
i do feel she is qualified to lead on some issues
sec of health comes to mind
that would give her influence on the healthcare reformation
and is an important issue for her
she has a very good reputation on the world stage so i would not argue againt her as perhaps UN sec or sec of state
really VP is a dead end job without much success as a resume builder
but the other many options in an administration offer more chances to effect the changes tht w all in one way or another hope to see



edited for double negative

[Tatiana]

7. Now we will get to seem some beautiful Democratic Unity.

Hopefully...

[berni_mccoy]

8. Well, if she is his V.P. pick, I will support it. I won't like it, but I will respect Obama's choice

I just hope this decision was not forced upon him.

[SwampG8r]

48. i agree

if he asks her thats one thing
he has been uncommonly gracious toward her all election cycle
and i expect her to be part of his cabinet perhaps
but not VP

[ErinBerin84]

9. the AIPAC conference is on Wednesday, right? Where is it?

Yesterday, Chuck Todd said that Hillary might be in NYC Tuesday night (which is now confirmed), and Obama was actually going to be in NYC on Wednesday morning, but Clinton aides say that she will be out of there by then. Lol, this is starting to get ridiculous. Is this new info/what is the source?

[harun]

12. I didn't see where it said BO will be in NY on TR (n/t)

[BuyingThyme]

14. It will all be erased instantly and this forum will stand forever

in the annals of DU history as an experiment in insanity.

And then we'll do it again.

[grassfed]

16. !!!

[Fire_brand]

18. Where does it say Barack will be in NY?

[charlie and algernon]

19. the third article

[lisa58]

20. I thought read earlier that Hillary will be in NY Tuesday...

...and will go to DC Tuesday evening.

I'll see if I can find a link.

Here it is:

With the future of her campaign in doubt, Clinton hasn't announced her plans for the final election night of the primary cycle or beyond, but the aides said she would stage her election night event in New York City. Her entourage is currently expected to wake up Tuesday in New York and to arrive in Washington, D.C. Tuesday night.

[AllentownJake]

21. This is so backwards

In the past the defeated has to go to the victor. She is such a petulant evil person isn't she.

[SwampG8r]

50. i think she isunfamiliar with election loss

and so unfamiliar with losers protocol

[ErinBerin84]

23. I think the Hill might be wrong about this (well, maybe not technically)

I am pretty sure that Obama's NYC event is before his DC event that Hillary will also be at, and Clinton aides told Chuck Todd that Hillary would be out of NYC by Wednesday morning. I think that if there were some sort of unity event, it would be much later in the week than on a Wednesday morning (though in my wildest dreams, Hillary and Obama team up on Wednesday and open up the biggest can of wup ass on McCain after his ridiculous show today in DC)

[Enrique]

29. it will be the greatest speech in the history of politics

so Terry McAuliffe will declare.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

44. Hold on to your bookbags, people!

[Renew Deal]

33. Anyone know where this being held?

I will be in NYC tomorrow night. I should try to attend.

[HockeyMom]

34. So she can go back to her real job

as Senator of New York. Get back to work, Hillary.

[NEDem]

35. This is it folks. We're in the big leagues now.

GOBAMA!

[writes3000]

36. Prepare yourselves: She is not going to concede tomorrow.

This is her way to have an event on Tuesday night to take focus away from Barack's event. It's that simple.

[SlipperySlope]

41. She's probably going to make her case again for taking it to August.

[mzmolly]

38. Hillary is going to be an excellent advocate

for the campaign. :D

[dave29]

42. Steel Cage Death Match?

I dunno who to put my money on

lol

[ballsalicious]

43. Hill would win hands down

[workinclasszero]

49. Don't get your hopes up yet

Just sayin....

[DangerousRhythm]

51. Intriguing.

I almost can't wait till tomorrow. Almost. I sort of have an odd dread, too, the kind of dread where you really don't know WHAT might happen. All I can do is hope everything goes well and smoothly for both of them. :)
