Clinton Supporters, "It's On", and all the way to the convention

[UALRBSofL]

Keep phone banking for Hillary, focusing on the swing states; Penn, Ohio, Florida, New Mexico, and even New York(Hillary's Home State). The scripts to use for these states will be available the upcoming week. Don't give up working for her out of frustration over the thievery of the DNC-RBC/Obama Campaign because we have a fight on our hands, one we will win come the convention. If anyone would like a copy of how the DNC-RNC voted please email me. I'll be seeing Senator Nelson next monday and report to you what he said about the upcoming fight we have ahead leading to the convention.

Let us be clear-HILLARY IS NOT DROPPING OUT TOMORROW GUYS-regardless of Obama Camp accepting the nomination. CBS reports, as well as Fox that this isn't happening see why below-
cbs news confirms-she ain't dropping out-

Clinton Spokesman: She Won't Drop Out Tomorrow
Posted by Fernando Suarez| 73

(CBS)From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — A Hillary Clinton spokesman told reporters on a flight over South Dakota that Clinton has no plans of dropping out of the race at her election night celebration in New York City tomorrow night.

"She is in this race until we have a nominee, she still believes there is a path for her to become that nominee," said spokesman Mo Elleithee. "I think it's pretty clear that she is not conceding." When asked "Will you deny that she is dropping out tomorrow night?" Elleithee responded, "Yes."

Elleithee went as far as to say that the campaign is currently working on the upcoming schedule saying they are "putting it together now, we're looking to where we may go."

Meantime, CBS News Chief Political Consultant Marc Ambinder reports that a prominent Democrat who spoke to Clinton today was told by her directly that she will not drop out tomorrow.

The notion that the Clinton campaign is continuing to look forward to the general election is hard to swallow given the fact the Barack Obama is 46 delegates away from clinching the party's nomination. When asked if Clinton would accept the 2,118 delegate number as the threshold to capture the nomination, Elleithee stated the campaign will challenge the Michigan ruling at the convention.

Elleithee also denied reports that the Obama and Clinton campaigns have been in conversations on how to end the race. Elleithee said Obama called Clinton last night to congratulate her on her win in Puerto Rico and categorized the call as "very short, very pleasant."

1. Come on, she lost.. Lets move on.

[izzie]

23. It seems this run for the WH is about Hillery and not us.

Ego and on to the fight in Co.

[Seabiscuit]

53. Obamanoid post #74,997 during the past 3 months pretending Hillary's ego is the only thing

keeping this race going.

As if the voters who have rallied around her during this time during the last 10-20 primaries had nothing to do with it. As if rules of the game which she's followed have nothing to do with it. As if Democracy has nothing to do with it.

Thank God for someone like Hillary, who has been the only candidate this year with the gumption to stand up to the blatant and grotesque corruption of the spineless Dem "powers that be" (and their pawn, Obama) who want to control and warp and impose their will on this election season. Little corporatist pretend-Caesars, every last one of them.

[krkaufman]

76. You may want to check your counter. You've flagged two distinct posts ...

... as post #74,997.

Just thought you'd want to know, since the count may be much higher than you're currently reporting.

[smiley_glad_hands]

90. Move on, your drivel is getting tiresome. eom

[rodeodance]

81. Its about who is best to enact strong policies. That would be Hillary.

[Seabiscuit]

51. Obamanoid post #74,997 during the past 3 months pretending "it's over". n/t

2. doesnt matter

she doesnt have a chance at the convention. Did you fail math or something??

[JimGinPA]

3. Keep Holding Your Breath

:rofl:

[MrsT]

4. I am glad she stayed in this until the end

but the end is tomorrow. Taking this to the convention would be career suicide, and think she is smart enough to see that.

[Labors of Hercules]

yes, it would be.

I think she will show just how good a leader she really can be tomorrow.

[Pirate Smile]

14. I hope you are right. I'm worried that she needs someone to help her deal with this but Bill is so

into his own rage at Obama that he can't focus on helping her come to terms with where we are at now..

[goldcanyonaz]

69. Oh please, someone to help her deal? Unity aint your strong suit

[Pirate Smile]

dupe

[Pirate Smile]

15. again

[goldcanyonaz]

66. How ridiculous. Hillary is an inspiration and her career is more than safe

And if she goes to Denver, so do we! My husband and I have had reservations at the Hyatt in Denver since last year just in anticipation of this happening.

[Hawkeye-X]

85. Better cancel that reservation....

Your dream ends tonight.

[goldcanyonaz]

86. We are still going, it is called a vacation

[izzie]

75. I hope she is also. I think she is smart and would be a good

President but I really want these two old groups gone from the WH. I just feel we have had it with the Bush/Clinton thing. We just need some new thinkers at that level and I do not think we will get it with the re-run of another Bush or Clinton. I just think the time is right for some one who seems to think like Obama does. He feels like the right man for our times. Bill was, in his times, a good President for us but we move on or try to. I really feel it is time for us to try to move on once more. Bush really took us back-wards. Another Clinton would take us back. It is a feeling thing.

[berni_mccoy]

5. Back away from the ledge. No one wants you to get hurt. Just go back in through the window.

[newmajority]

6. Did anybody notice something missing from the OP?

I'm not saying what, but I'm sure someone else will catch it.........

[mamalone]

62. You have piqued my curiosity...

Care to share with the class? :)

[smiley_glad_hands]

91. No profile. eom

[mamalone]

96. ahh... missed that.

Thanks for sharing:)

[VeraAgnes]

7. This Primary Season is electrifying!

Oh, I love this! Amazingly, I believe she is impressing the World with her drive, passion and brilliance.

Obama is only possibly going to win this by a nose, if he wins. That said, the same goes for Hillary since she is fighting to cross that line too.

It's not over yet..............:woohoo: :popcorn:

[Labors of Hercules]

10. You are a fruitcake.

seek help. please.

[VeraAgnes]

19. So, I see your IQ is equal to

an eggplant.

[Labors of Hercules]

30. I know some brilliant eggHEADS... do they qualify?

No, really... You may think this is a lovely party, but those of us who have been working our asses off for 15 months are fucking tired and DESPERATE to move on to the GE.

Please cut us a BREAK, would ya??? damn.

[VeraAgnes]

61. Hell no, you volunteered for this and if you want to

be a whiner, then you should take a vacation. It's not over yet, we do not have a nominee and neither is truly leading....either win would be a photo finish only.

[Labors of Hercules]

82. It is over, and I'm not happy to continue being dragged along...

on this dog and pony show when there are more important things to do, thanks.

[mamalone]

63. :-D thanks................

for the laugh:D

[Labors of Hercules]

83. welcome!

:hi:

[TwilightGardener]

11. You mean her delusions of grandeur, psychosis, and narcissism?

[alcibiades_mystery]

26. It is indeed amazing that you believe that

:rofl:

[Brundle_Fly]

55. LIKE CANADA!!!

Oh Wait. We're not impressed. Move over Hillary.

:rofl:

[smiley_glad_hands]

92. She already lost. Move on.

[symbolman]

8. This is a Joke

Right?

[damntexdem]

9. I hope you're wrong.

But it will all prove irrelevant as Obama defeats McCain.

[Lucky 13]

12. Yeah, I'll get right on that.

:eyes:

[midnight]

13. Hillary has nerves of steel.......

[Madam Mossfern]

77. So why the crying moments?

Just asking...

[rodeodance]

80. get a grip, both men and women have emotional moments.

[jenmito]

16. Sorry, but it IS over. She's only fighting 'til Obama gets 2118 which will be tomorrow night.

Even Ickes said so.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. No, she meant the year 2118.

[jenmito]

21. Oh. Sorry-I misunderstood.

:D

[swishyfeet]

17. I'm signing over my paycheck and mailing it in today!

:bounce:

Denver! Denver! Denver!

[grantcart]

20. Normally I don't like exposing people who are in obvious distress however

have you lost all command of your facilities? Do you have some relatives that can assist you at this time?

Keep phone banking for Hillary, focusing on the swing states; Penn, Ohio, Florida, New Mexico, and even New York(Hillary's Home State)

What is it that these people are going to be phoning for? Seeking additional distributors for AMWAY?


If she is such an outstanding candidate why would you be phoning New York - are you sure you want to encourage people to support your candidate by pointing out that her home state could be a 'swing state'?


Its generally not well known that Obama has in fact passed Clinton in her home state and I am curious why you think that broadcasting this fact helps your candidate.


You must have somebody that can come by and make sure all of the sharp knives have been locked up.

[AllentownJake]

24. Understandable

She's (clinton) whipped them into this frenzy. It will be her job to talk them out of it.

[grantcart]

31. Maybe she should help them out with 'baby steps' just like Bob

Would that not be the greatest ending - all of the nuts start going to her house and asking her to give her phone numbers so that they can continue phonebanking?

Is there anybody in here really really good at prayer?

I would give either one of my legs to see them all swarm to Hillary for their 'baby steps'.

[bicentennial_baby]

34. "Dr Marvin? Dr Leo Marvin?"

:rofl:

[grantcart]

49. Senator Clinton? Senator Hillary Clinton?

[tishaLA]

45. why, whatever do you mean?

[grantcart]

60. see their family members have removed all sharp instrments

[mamalone]

64. Maybe it's the hour....

maybe I'm just overtired... but this thread has me chuckling in quite a ridiculous manner. It's basically the middle of the night and here I sit at the computer chortling to myself, trying to keep quiet enough not to wake the kids. Maybe this is evidence that I really do need to get out more, but still...:rofl:

thanks grantcart- I think this post here is the best of the bunch:D

[AllentownJake]

22. At some point it will be over

Whether its tommorow, next week, or at the convention.

Vilsak and Rendel have called for her to quit tommorow.

[jazzjunkysue]

25. Go, HIllary!

go, away!

[WillyT]

27. Alerted... Working Against The Democratic Candidate For President !!!

:evilgrin:

[shellgame26]

28. Oy vey!

enough awreaddy!

[DeschutesRiver]

29. I feel somewhat uncomfortable about what Clinton is doing to her supporters,

ie encouraging the notion that she is "strong" and will keep fighting, as she is busy gathering her supporters and donors and friends together to hear the concession speech she has written.

I don't know why a candidate would exit this way - someone else suggested it is because the Clintons haven't lost one for a long while, and don't know how to make a kind and graceful exit. So they will just go until they hit the wall tomorrow, and then leave stage left. Given how loyal some of their suppporters still are, I would have liked to see for them a small return of loyalty, not just behind the scenes trading of voter base/delegates in exchange for payment of debts, probably theirs first.

[Peacetrain]

38. That is what I am trying to figure out also

This is such a sybil exit.. Its like that time a couple of months ago, when she was praising Obama one day, and yelling shame on you the next ..

[mamalone]

65. I feel very uncomfortable with what she is doing to her supporters..

She has manipulated them, pushed all of their most virulent triggers, whipped them up into a frenzy, and for what? She'll see sense... at some point, I am certain she will... she'll be ready to make nice with the powers that be, and then she'll have no use for these unbalanced people. I pity them more than anything else...

[DDQ]

71. I Pity You

[mamalone]

79. :-)

[smiley_glad_hands]

93. I'm sure its mutual. eom

[Milo_Bloom]

32. Who cares what she does... she is little more than a footnote

to this campaign season now.

[BlueJac]

33. Get a life...wake up. It is so over, I suppose you will vote Mc Cain!

[stillcool]

35. until we have a nominee...

hopefully Obama will have the number he needs tomorrow night, and the Democratic Party will have a nominee. Whether Hillary recognizes that or not is up to her.

[Gore1FL]

36. I for one do not think Clinton is delusional.

It seems weird that her supporters do.

[Imagevision]

37. Pelosi already stated she doesn't want a continued fight at the convention so-ooo...

buh-bye Hillary

[rg302200]

39. Man I am glad she is done with after tomorrow

I am starting to get sick of adding people to my ignore list now that I think about it to bad I can't put Hillary on ignore!

[Imagevision]

40. It will be refreshing starting the day with no mention or video of Hillary

[Youphemism]

41. This only makes sense, if you think about it.

She wants all the votes and donations she can get. If she doesn't keep people at bay, her supporters will get upset that she gave in, people won't make it to the polls to help her with the popular vote -- which she wants as a badge as much as a bargaining chip, I'm sure -- and it will look rigged.

This weekend made it clear that the party will squish her like a bug if she tries to continue. She no longer controls what happens.

She'll continue through the week, but you'll see increasing signs of her winding it down. She will become a pariah if she continues the battle beyond that, and she knows it. No matter how ambitious she is, she's not that dumb.

[VotesForWomen]

42. Right on. i would be highly surprised if she dropped out, and she shouldn't. nt

[guruoo]

43. If true, all credit must go to the Obama "grassroots" fringe.

Yeah, gee thanks. Hope you're happy now.

[casus belli]

44. Thievery?? Whatever. n/t

[Heather MC]

46. Sure I will get Hillary's phone bank list

And make calls for OBAMA, THE WINNNER
:rofl:

[hokies4ever]

47. It's ain't over till...

[IndianaJones]

48. cool. nt

[AtomicKitten]

50. You're advising HRC to not drop out after Obama receives the nomination?

And some of you wonder why Obama supporters aren't embracing the Clinton camp.

Your OP is precisely why. Just so there's no misunderstanding.

[Terre]

56. Maybe not tomorrow exactly

Mrs. Clinton has no public traveling schedule through the weekend, other than to Washington, reflecting what is, for all practical purposes, a campaign in suspension. Her associates said that no one in her campaign saw any way she could win the nomination, and that the only question now was when Mr. Obama could claim victory. The associates requested anonymity in deference to Mrs. Clinton’s request for privacy.

Mrs. Clinton’s decision to return to her home state to deliver her speech was made at the last minute, and thus she picked an unusual site for a major political event: the Baruch College athletics and recreation center on the East Side of Manhattan.

The most likely situation, some of Mrs. Clinton’s aides said, was that she would suspend her campaign later in the week and would probably — though not definitely — endorse Mr. Obama.

Everyone in the Clinton campaign has their own agenda for saying what they do.

I've heard more reports that this is finally coming to an end, than I have reports that she intends to press on.

[Jersey Devil]

57. It wasn't "over" when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

[bhikkhu]

58. TIME TO RAMP UP THE CRAZY!!!!!

or not...good lord, and I was about to go to bed and sleep peacefully, thinking that tomorrow would be a good day. Perhaps it will anyway.

[still_one]

59. How do you account for the Clinton supporters on the rules committee who voted against her?

[JTFrog]

67. She is staying in because she is winning.

[goletian]

68. doesnt matter what hillary does. hasnt mattered for several weeks now.

obama won. its over. she can stay in for 200 years if shed like. wont make a difference.

[JVS]

70. Clinton supporters, you know that it is irresponsible to follow her to the convention.

If she must go to the convention, please let her know that she does it without your support. Defect from her. She's leading you irresponsibly and to the detriment of your future.

[DDQ]

72. You know that's a bunch of crap

And patronizing and manipulative

[JVS]

73. It's the truth. Jump in this pool, Hillary supporters, the water is fine!

[smiley_glad_hands]

94. No, pretty much nails it. eom

[WeDidIt]

74. Sew those seeds of division

oPeRaTiOn KAAAAAAOOOOOOOSSSSSS

I've got your number.

[jefferson_dem]

78. Totally trollish "hit and run" OP.

:thumbsdown:

[snooper2]

84. She can be the President

of Puerto Rico


:rofl:

:rofl:

:rofl:








GOBAMA!

[grantcart]

87. well this thread ended up being too much fun to just sit at the bottom

[Pisces]

88. keep dialing your little hearts out, I hope someone calls me to hear what I have to say.

[AZBlue]

89. Oh honey. Denial is the first step.

[Asgaya Dihi]

95. Small problem

The article states Obama was "46 delegates away from clinching the party's nomination" with the required 2,118 delegates. According to DemConWatch he now has 2162 and I'd expect more tomorrow. At least http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-endorsement-notes.html">9 today switched from Clinton to Obama so not only is he gaining ground and fast but she's also losing it.

Her time to make deals or apply for a job passed with her attacking instead of acting like he was winning so was her likely employer if she wanted a role in the next administration. Sure, if she had quit sooner any chance to win it all would have been gone but she hasn't had much chance for quite a while now and when you play for it all the flip side of the deal is the risk of losing it all. She's got no leverage left and we've no reason to care what she wants. The way to leave with grace passed long ago but she can still leave on her own power at least and make a decent gesture. The only thing dragging it out from here accomplishes is to turn her into a national joke and probably to strengthen McCain.

Think about it.
