A Promise Or a Threat?
March 26th, 2008 - 12:12 pm
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: When a politician vows to fight on until election day (or until the convention, or until the jury acquits, or until the cows come home to roost in the barn after the door’s been locked and you can’t make them drink), then it’s a sure thing that politician is about to quit, resign, or face the maximum sentence allowed by law.
But when Hillary Clinton vows to “keep this process going,” I don’t doubt her for one moment.
Thing is, most of the stupids who said that this time around found themselves quickly facing the fact it was mathematically impossible for them to win. Huckabee figured this out about two weeks after the rest of us.
Hillary still could win, though if she doesn’t do some serious damage to the delegate difference in Pennsylvania it’ll be hard to keep saying that, because the Democrats have a massive number of superdelegates.
I personally don’t see her winning the nomination. But she might not even need to. At this point she may very well be staying in just to damage Obama as much as possible to punish him for ruining her coronation.
The mixed metaphor works as well as the rules the Dems have set up that got them into this mess. I don’t doubt your creativity but I don’t think they envisioned theirs.
They’ve made their bed, now they’ll just have to stop and smell the roses!
Not to be a jackass, well, ok, specifically to be a jackass, didn’t somebody around here say this (he might have been drunk at the time).
7:43pm “I am honored to be here with Barack Obama.” “Whatever happens, we’re going to be fine.” “We have support from our family and friends.” What you just heard was a preview of Hillary’s concession speech. And it got the biggest cheers I’ve ever heard for her.

Yep — and did I ever get that one wrong!
Still, I’d rather have missed that call. Because you’ve got to admit, this has become one hell of an entertaining primary race.
And if things go on, imagine what the convention — just 45 minutes from here — will be like.
Its always funny to me how hard politcians will fight tooth and nail, down to the last overused literary metaphor for their “rightful” position holding some phony baloney elected job on the public tit, a government pension, parking space and key to the executive washroom but suggest that they fight for something greater than their own fat ass? like maybe fight for the country, liberty and freedom? fuggettaboutit…
That’s not what she is fighting for. She feels entitled to the big chair. She is Bill’s legacy and He’s not going to let her lose because that would cement him as the biggest Loser in history. “He couldn’t even get his wife elected President”… She will beg, borrow and ultimately steal this nomination, and she’ll employ the “Tonya Harding” plan to do it. (she’s evil)
Question of the day – After quitting, would Hillary go so far as to try to sabotage Obama in the general election?
A very old saying goes ‘its not just important that I win, but you must lose”. If hillary cant win, will she work to see that Obama loses?
Sure, McCain wins if she does. But that puts Hillary back in position 4 years later, is that so.
Shes got a whole boat load of democrat party ops that are going to be sitting on the sidelines after she quits and they have all burned democrat party bridges. Will we see a day where Carville is working behind the scenes for McCain?

Ironic, huh, that this is the one thing everyone agrees they can trust a Clinton on.
Me thinks that should be a red flag of some kind.
Man, I completely forgot where the Dems convention will be. I’ve got relatives there, and I’ll need to fly them out for the duration so they don’t get caught in rioting.
