Hillary to Step Up Campaigning for Obama
Hillary Clinton's advisers tell the New York Times she will increase her campaigning for the Obama/Biden ticket. One reason: McCain's choice of Sarah Palin and Palin's co-opting of her campaign theme.

Mrs. Clinton’s friends said she was galled that Ms. Palin might try to capitalize on a movement that Mrs. Clinton, of New York, built among women in the primaries....Guy Cecil, the former political director of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, said it was “insulting” for Republicans to compare Ms. Palin to Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary's advisers have no problem making the inexperience argument against Palin:


Mr. Cecil said he believed that the McCain-Palin ticket might initially intrigue some Clinton supporters, but that they would ultimately choose Mr. Obama.

“It is insulting to compare Hillary’s lifetime of service and her commitment to progressive causes with that of a novice, right-wing governor,” Mr. Cecil said.

1. Go get them Hillary....and hit them as hard as you can.

[rurallib]

2. YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

Take the gloves off and let her have it Hill!

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Oh my ...

[LaurenG]

4. I thought it was horribly insulting.

I wish I could tell Ms. Palin a thing or two and I was not a Hillary supporter.

[Samantha]

83. I was not a Hillary supporter either, but I was offended on her behalf

I too thought it was terribly insulting. Palin is just an opportunist trying to horn in what Hillary Clinton developed and built.

The McCain campaign calls her selection, "historic." I see it as a theft of intellectual political property -- Hillary's. There's nothing "historic" about that. It is political personae plagiarism, something which has been around since politics began.

Sam

[bdamomma]

92. I was offended too, this Palin woman is no Hillary and I wasn't

a supporter of Hillary either, you don't mock people like that, Palin watch out.

[Bucky]

5. I believe it's called "unity"

[Occam Bandage]

6. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

[Arkana]

53. HILLARY SMASH

[NotThisTime]

7. Oh I do hope this is true..... Would love Clinton out there on the trail.

[maseman]

8. If Hillary and Obama groups weren't unified last week

bet your sweet bippy they are now!

[JohnnyBoots]

93. My thoughts exactly. n/t

[im1013]

9. Oooooo someone's in trouble.....and I love it!

I'd love to see a debate between Hillary and Ms. Ditz!
(I do love Biden, though.)

:popcorn:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

10. Never fuck with a Scorpio.

The end will not be pretty. :D

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. Scorpio

Yikes, tell me about that.. Or moon in Scorpio.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

59. I think this says it all....

http://www.astrology.com.au/12signs/SCORPIO.asp

"...If someone tries to corner you or put you in a difficult situation, they’d better be prepared to give it their best shot, because you won’t give in until you win, and your enemy is totally crushed in body, mind and spirit.

If that ruthless streak in your character can’t be satisfied straight away, you’ll wait, patiently, until the proper time to seek revenge. Time is of no consequence to you when it comes to wreaking vengeance."


Scorpios are famous for that -- that scorpian "sting of death". Hillary has massive Scorpionic energy -- the passion, the leadership, the ambition, the "don't-fuck-with-me-fellas" attitude, the loyalty, the seething anger -- it has always been the thing I have noticed about her most.

As for your moon in Scorpio -- the moon represents your emotional wiring and how you express yourself in relationship. I would say that your partners find you a bit emotionally "intense". Am I right?? :D

[Ichingcarpenter]

69. I should have said rising sign not moon

I have sag/scorpio rising.

but you are right Scorpios are tenacious fighters.


My moon is in aries.

[Merlot]

88. Hey there, me too!

I'm Sag w/ Scorp rising. Moon in Leo (another fire sign like Aries).

People see the good natured Sag in me, and the Scorpio flys under the radar.

[yellowdogintexas]

15. damn straight. I am ready to post my first one of these:

:popcorn:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

60. When I heard Palin...

talk about Hillary and the glass ceiling in her first speech, the first thing I thought was, "Ooooo, she is so gonna get it from Hillary!" :rofl:

[yellowdogintexas]

89. I saw the press conference...in the words of John Stewart: "No she Di-n't"

(how would you punctuate the way he says that anyhow??) :rofl: :rofl:

[AspenRose]

54. Biden too

DOB: 20 November

My husband has the same birthday as HRC.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

63. No shit???

Wow, that makes sense! So we will have a Leo and a Scorpio team - very, very good match! Perhaps a bit of push/pull for power in the relationship, but otherwise good.

[yellowdogintexas]

80. Bill and Hillary are a Leo/Scorpio team too. you know nt

[Cha]

79. Joe Biden's a Scorpio too! And, even

though, Obama's a Leo he obviously gets along very well with Joe Biden.

And, yes, I'm very happy to be reading this about Hillary stepping up to campaign more for Obama and Biden. Hillary was in the same grueling primary campaign as Obama but I imagine she's had some R&R from the looks of her Convention Speech and ready to get back out there with all her campaign experience behind her!

[bdamomma]

95. oh my goodness, Leo and Scorpio

that is a tough team do not mess with them.

[nxylas]

99. Don't believe in astrology, but...

...I'm a Leo and my wife is a Scorpio. I don't really recognize much of myself in the description of what Leos are supposed to be like, though.

[msallied]

11. Don't do it Hillary! Don't make me love you! Cuz I will!

:rofl:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

61. sorry about that.. wrong post

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

12. I said it a few days ago:

The Palin selection would motivate HRC big time. No was is she going to stand around and let this airhead steal the thunder she's earned in the last two years. Hillary is going to come out with all guns blazing and the 'pukes are gonna be even sorrier than they are now.

[Divernan]

25. That was my immediate reaction to Palin's nomination as VP also.

That's what happens to a campaign that doesn't have a single feminist on its staff. They are all locked in the 50's and so out of touch with today's working women.

[weezie1317]

13. Get them, HRC!!!

[global1]

16. Have There Been Any Official Comments From Hillary Yet About Palin?.....nt

[Arkansas Granny]

32. Yes. She made this statement.

Hillary Clinton released the following statement on McCain's selection of Palin:

"We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin's historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain. While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate."

http://www.npr.org/blogs/politics/2008/08/hillary_clinton_on_sarah_palin.html

[nxylas]

100. A little disappointing

I was hoping HRC would let Palin have it with both barrels. But maybe she's waiting for the right moment.

[yellowdogintexas]

101. she is, and it won't be pretty nt

[PA Democrat]

17. LOL! Johnny Mac misunderestimated the reaction of Hillary and her supporters!

Go get 'em Hillary!

[gateley]

18. I hope Hillary buries her. I couldn't BELIEVE what Palin said.

Those were Hillary's 18,000,000 cracks, Sarah. She worked for them and earned them, you have no right to them.

[bdamomma]

96. Palin had no business saying that.

what a con artist she is.

[liberal N proud]

19. Check & Mate

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. Good. I hope she goes after those motherfuckers

both barrels blazing.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

21. Love you, Hillary...YOU GO GIRL!

:hug:

[nichomachus]

22. I think she's found a target for her anger and frustration

I can't wait until she's on the Supreme Court.

[Beacool]

87. I can't wait until she runs again for president.

:D

[nichomachus]

98. In 2016? She'll be 69. That could be tough.

[Beacool]

102. So? McCain is 72.

:shrug:

[nichomachus]

103. Which is, of course, one of our arguments against him . . .

[cynatnite]

23. Hillary vs. Palin...

oh, we know who'd win that fight. :evilgrin:

[Fire_brand]

24. get 'em girl

[bigwillq]

26. Give 'em hell, Hillary!

:bounce:

[no_hypocrisy]

31. Take off your gloves, Hillary!

Not all women are created equal, and remind them of that every step of the way.

[yellowdogintexas]

81. Hillary is the ONE who can do this..she can take the gloves off and

go for the jugular leaving Obama and Biden free to deal with policy and issues on everything else. not that she won't be quite capable of addressing any issue swiftly and with style of course. But she OWNS this one lock stock and two smoking barrels.

[phleshdef]

27. Ya know, there were times in the primaries that I was REALLY on the anti-Clinton side of the debate

But since, well pretty much June, when the whole thing was over in earnest... I started to let all that go.

Then after her graceful convention performance followed up by Bill giving, what I at least thought, was the second best speech of the whole affair (yet still, the MOST important speech), I've really started to appreciate them.

Having said that, having learned more about Palin and having witnessed her try to be a total Hillary Clinton POSEUR, I have to say that I appreciate Hillary Clinton's presence THAT much more. Sarah Palin isn't fit to hold up Hillary's metaphorical JOCK and I hope that Hillary will not hesitate to make that known to her in a big way.

[JuniperLea]

28. Sarah is "Pale In" comparison to Hillary... eom

[Arkansas Granny]

38. Good one!

:thumbsup:

[JuniperLea]

41. Thanks, Granny!

:hug:

[Az_lefty]

29. not only capitalize on but undermine everything Hillary stands for..

equal pay, equal rights, pro-choice...At this time I really wish Hillary was the VP choice, she would turn that phoney Palin into hamburger.

[ronnykmarshall]

50. Palin would not be on the ticket ...

if Hillary was our VP.

[Zuiderelle]

30. I knew this would be her reaction.

:patriot:

[volstork]

33. Equation for GOP disaster:

PLUS

[Starbucks Anarchist]

34. I've been liking Hillary more and more every day.

Go Hillary! :toast:

Sarah Palin only wishes she could be Hillary.

[Window]

35. Go Hillary! It is truly insulting.

[Demi_Babe]

36. Hell to the YES!!!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

37. Eugene Robinson (I think) wrote about this...

Words to the effect, "If there's anything that could make the Clintons come roaring back to the campaign trail, this would be it." Basically said that if Hillary want to be THE leader of women in America, she cannot brook having Sarah Palin as Vice President.

[Froward69]

39. this may sound sexist...

Go Hillary!!!! snatch that broad Bald headed!!! break your nails off in her face!!! she thinks she is fit to ride your coattails! she

is not... By far. It is an insult to you Hillary to even think so.

This is by no means meant to be sexist at all...

We know it, you Know it Hillary, she is trying to ride on your hard work. take it as her own.

Tear her apart like we know you can Hillary...

[butterfly77]

40. Everything happens for a reason..

and I think it is because Hillary is needed for something she never dreamed of..

[hughee99]

42. I might suggest that

Hillary's advisers not play up the fact that she's decided to increase her campaigning for Obama, not because he's the nominee, or because she believes in him, but because she's personally offended by Palin.

[crappyjazz]

43. I'm feeling giddier and giddier (is that a word?)

ah who cares, I'm feeling giddier and giddier every day!

[Pepper32]

44. I hope this is true because it's time to put this wannabe in her place!

[BlueIdaho]

45. I think it just got very personal for Hillary...

Sarah Barracuda won't know what hit her, HRC will disembowel her before her very eyes.

Go ahead - Sarah tell us again how you intend to step through the hole in that glass ceiling HRC was kind enough to make - just . for. you.

[Median Democrat]

46. Hillary Should Be Careful. They Might Accuse Her Of Being Sexist Like They Did James Carville

Remember Michelle Bachman calling Carville sexist for criticizing Palin's experience as mayor of Wasilla. Carville then pointed out that he had supported Hillary Clinton.

[KathieG]

47. Can't wait! Get her Hillary!

:thumbsup: :bounce: :thumbsup:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

48. Excellent. Show her what a true feminist is, Hillary! Show her what a true groundbreaker does!

[DB1]

49. Hillary will take the high road and still kick her ass. Alaskan roadkill, mmm mmm good!

[Neshanic]

51. Go get em Hillary!

[Arkana]

52. Thank you, Hillary.

I had hoped she would be absolutely insulted by Palin's attempts to play squatter on her legacy.

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

55. Thank you John McCain

For the pouring of the cement, that firmly unites this democratic party together. Heckuva job!

[boomerbust]

56. Ultimate Cat Fight?

Hell no, your talkin Puma fight of epic proportions!

[TwilightGardener]

57. Couldn't have helped Palin that she called Hillary a "whiner" last spring , and now is trying

to attach herself to Hillary's accomplishments at McLoon campaign rallies.

[knixphan]

58. UUUUNITY!

Nothing brings us together like a common foe.

[Yukari Yakumo]

62. Palin did what Obama couldn't (quite) do.

Cheerleader Sarah is going to bring the party together... the Democratic Party.

[malik flavors]

64. Go get em' Hill!

[Virginia Dare]

65. Give her hell Hillary!

Party Unity HELL YEAH!

[Maven]

66. GET 'ER HILL!!!

[NatBurner]

68. get in that ass (hil)lary!

[Elidor]

70. Uh-oh, it's on!

You're playing in the big leagues now, Barbie, and Hillary is already tired of your shit.

This could be epic.

[ampad]

71. Oh snap!

This woman does not know who she is messing with.

[horseshoecrab]

72. Go Hillary!!!

Palin will find out just how small time she is.

Go for it Hillary!!! :bounce:


horseshoecrab

[AZBlue]

73. I find the Palin pick so insulting to all women, but especially Clinton.

And I'm not even that big a fan of Hillary's. But I want to slap both John and Sarah for this. Hard.

[bunkerbuster1]

74. Kinda figured as much would happen

didn't want to come out and SAY that Hillary would be extremely pissed off and motivated to crush these fuckers, now.

[SeattleGirl]

75. They done messed with the WRONG WOMAN!

I hope she tears them a new one!

[hamsterjill]

76. Palin is no Hillary!

Enough said.

[nc4bo]

77. Sic 'em Hillary! Smack that liar right down on the mat! nt

[me b zola]

78. Hillary will send Sarah back to Alaska in tears

Sarah, you're playing with the adults now and you are about to get schooled.

[Flaxbee]

82. I hope the smack-down of all smack-downs is just around the

corner!

[AnnieBW]

84. Told ya so!

Hillary was just sharpening up the knives. Wait until Little Sarah accepts the nomination. Then it's ON.

[AnnieBW]

85. Told ya so!

Hillary was just sharpening up the knives. Wait until Little Sarah accepts the nomination. Then it's ON.

[D23MIURG23]

86. How very unfortunate for mcsame.

Looks like this pick had the exact opposite of its intended effect.

[EstimatedProphet]

90. Ms. Palin, we know Hillary Clinton

We have worked with Hillary Clinton

And you, madam, ARE NO HILLARY CLINTON!

[bdamomma]

91. don't mess with Hillary, I am sure she will hit back hard.

[SeaLyons]

94. You're going to love seeing Hillary's

tenacity and fighting spirit this go round. She will really make clear the differences between Palin and herself.

Go Hillary..

[JBoris]

97. K, R, and a donation to Hillary!

[terrya]

104. This was what I was waiting for. Go Hillary!

I was wondering how long until she'd be good and pissed about this.
