McAuliffe Yesterday: If Obama Gets to 2,118, Clinton Will Congratulate Him
June 04, 2008 1:39 PM
“If Barack Obama reaches that number (2,118 delegates) today or tomorrow, do you believe that Senator Clinton is prepared to concede?” asked Meredith Vieira yesterday on the TODAY show.
“Yes, I think if Sen. Obama gets the number, I think Hillary Clinton will congratulate him and call him the nominee," replied Terry McAuliffe, co-chair of Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign.
So what changed?

How John Sidney McCain III Could Theoretically Beat Barack Hussein Obama:
He won't have to even try. McCain will win this election now that Barack Hussein gave up Florida and Michigan.

Denial, much?

No one is disputing that Obama will be the nominee....Now we get to see if he is a "uniter"
This is where the talk and the walk are revealed.
My experience with Obama supporters on the blogs has not been positive.
McCain will be moving to the middle...Some of us are centrist...From the view of leftist Chicago this election has shown me I'm not sure if that's the "change" that America needs.

If Obama gets 3000 delegates, plus
endorsements by Rodney Alan Rippy.
Gary Coleman, O. J., Butterfly McQueen,
and Sly Stone....will she consider
stepping down?.....depends on what
Bill says. He still runs the carnival.
It ain't over 'til the ol' dog dies.

Nothing changed, until Obama got delegetes from SD.

when do you come back to earth?

You all have seen that her numbers in NY now look like she may lose New York...
she's got a lot of work to do and last night didn't help.
She had so much to gain by being the person she professes to be...have you seen half of her staunch supporters today not being able to still bite their tongues because they are so disappointed in the fact that she just proved to so many people what all her supporters have been fighting against...
the whole idea that this has never been about issues...it's been about Hillary
I feel for everyone who was taken.
Rendell did an interview today and you can see he is one unhappy dude about her maneuver last night.
Hillary Rosen's article today...oof.
her whole team from NY...that were the biggest fighters... ...angry she would threaten the issues and/or ask people to help make a decision...
Rangel saying I think I need to call her directly.
They all most be thinking when does this train end...even more than the rest of us.
You hear the superdelegates she threatened if they switch over before she "tells" them they can.
all in the name of her position.
Yesterday I was kind of getting "ok" with her as VP and she had to go and screw it up ...again.
(I stole that line from a Clinton supporter watching with a bunch of other Clinton supporters last night).

Senator Obama has done more to destroy the Democratic Party than any man in history. He is not a democrat. He is a socialist/marxist/communist. Rational and educated peoople know that if they have done thorough research. Most Obama supporters didn't look further than his dancing, prancing and using fancy words. He is superficial at best. He is an empty shell of a man at worst. He is a pathatic candidate.

Hillary should be given the position of Health and Human Services Director! She is the best person for the job!
god bless hillary!

Nothing has changed, various and sundry individuals keep speaking for her.
Posted by: katrina | Jun 4, 2008 5:29:24 PM
Its hard to say exactly what happened. Especially as her speech was sooooooo bullish. But I think maybe someone, most probably her husband but could be someone else, reminded her of how powerful a position she is in. BUT the problem is I think that the power of her position will ebb away from her if she waits too long and the party will turn against her.

voter: please. if you are really a democrat you will take a hard look at McCain's positions and realize he is just another old deficit-spending, in-the-corporate-pocket, doesn't-care-about-the-little-guy Republican nitwit with a foreign policy on aggro-steroids. if you vote for this guy over Obama, considering how close most of his views are to Clinton's, I think you should stop calling yourself a democrat.

Hey EL,
MO only said nice things about Hillary after she was getting slammed about her attitude towards her so save it!
Posted by: rockthebleachers | Jun 4, 2008 3:55:04 PM
Jayhawk,
if you insist on judging a person not by her own words or merits but by unsubstantiated rumours spead by someone with a clear interest in slandering that person, there is no more I can do.
Have a nice day.

Nothing changed. You have to listen very carefully to Baghdad Bob McAuliffe.
He said she would concede when Obama hit the magic number. He did not say she would concede IMMEDIATELY.
Remember, this is the crew that isn't sure what the meaning of "is" is.

Voter
so you do not think obama is respectful honest, or honorable? Was cheating on his wife after her terrible car accident honorable? Was not voting for the GI bill something he should have voted for honorable?
I think you are wrong in your assumption that john mccain would do no harm to america, by his own definition that he would not use diplomacy but would indeed and in fact use force to get his agenda across, and the simple fact that he does not see the war in iraq as the facade that it is and that he wants to continue the occupation, or that he wants to go to war with iran
you do not think that these will make america less safe, that he is unwilling to use diplomacy suggests that he is a war mongering psychotic that has no regard for the horrors of war but instead thinks just like bush thought that he could use brute force to get his point across, and we all knwo how taht is turning out.
i dont know where you are getting your tlaking points but obama hates america? LOL
and he has pledged his allegiance to africa?? LOL
do you also believe that he was sworn in on the khoran? (or however you spell it?)
Mccain may have been liberal but with his voting record as of late 95% in line with bush i dare say that he is not as liberal as he once was, he is not the john mccain of 2000 and you will see that in his speeches, he can claim he works cross isle but he has embraced the republicans and their agenda, and he has embraced bush and his agendas
Obama voted against teh war... i call taht a pretty smart move, one that wasnt very popular at the time, but one that a lot of americans felt was the right one, and now even more americans feel that it was teh correct move.
that war is a cancerous sore on this country and mccain wants to continue it. It is appalling...
Hillary would never vote for mccain in a thousand years, mccain says hes tough on terror, and yet hes funded by some of the most terrible rogue terrorist regimes around the world
he says he woudl never talk to hamas! and yet you can do a you tube search and see for yourself that he indeed once was willing to have these talks, that was mccain of 2000, and he is no longer that
he has transcended into the dark beast that carries and bears the evilness and horrible promises of this current administration
no thanks

Nothing changed
Most still view Hillary as untrustworthy.
Not suprised at all.
THAT'S JUST HILLARY

Actually El Parajo;
A source is a source is a source.
Regardless of what she may have said in damage control at a later date, the fact remains that Michelle Obama did not publicly deny the Robert Novak assertion.
And, if you really believe that Michelle Obama has even a hint of respect for Hillary Clinton, you need to pay more attention as the events occur instead of googling a phrase or two in an effort to substantiate a position.
Posted by: Jayhawk | Jun 4, 2008 3:17:25 PM
Senator McCain is respectful, honest and honorable. All the things that Obama does not have. Senator McCain has is proud of being an American and will never take any steps to bring harm to America. Obama is ashamed to be an American and has pledged allegience to the nation of Africa. Senator McCain is a centrist while Obama is the most liberal senator you can find. Senator McCain has reached across the aisle to pass laws. Obama was just figuring out where he needs to sit leave alone know what he is voting for.
One of these alone is enough to make me want to vote for McCain. Hillary would have been my best choice but without her, I will settle for McCain. There is no other choice for me and I am a Democrat.
