The Lady In The Pantsuit Says It's Over

June 07, 2008 3:52 PM

"It's not over until the woman in the pantsuit says it is," Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, said a few weeks ago, quoting a supporter.

This afternoon she said it was over.

Watch HERE and read the transcript of her remarks HERE.

Hillary did not concede. She did not pledge her delegates to Obama (although most are switching anyway). She still believes that she will be the presumtive democratic choice in the end. She is still waiting for that next J Wright t show up and ruin Obama.

She is a snake in the grass and SHOULD NOT BE ON THE TICKET AS VP!

She can not be trusted because of the way she ran a negative campaign. Trust me, she is up to something evil!

Dear Hillary supporters this is why a woman won't be able to run for President until about 30 to 40 years. Too emotional. Men don't whine like this. Someone HAD TO LOSE. FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SEATED PERIOD. ARE THEY DUMB WHILE ALL THE OTHER 48 STATES GOT IT RIGHT. But no women want to change the rules-you're not playing fair like we are 6 years old. Vote for McCain because you love him and leave OBAMA OUT OF IT. HE BEAT HER FAIR AND SQUARE. I am telling when the next woman wants to run she won't make it to the first round-so many people will vote no.

It was a sad day when Hillary had to endorse Obama (wink, wink). Bill is scarred from the black community branding him racist after all the Clinton's did for them. I hope to God they don't do one rally for BO! We Hillary supporters WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE GOOD NIGHT. Quiet riot in the voting booth when we pull the lever for John McCain a true American.
This race is McCain's to win as the candidate and Obama's to win as a party due their turn.
This party is split....left wing liberals pushed their guy through BEFORE Americans got wind of Wright, Michelle, Rezko, Ayers, Pfleger, bittergate, etc. MIDDLE AMERICANS DETERMINE EVERY ELECTION. MIDDLE AMERICANS WILL NOT BUY WHAT OBAMA'S SELLING.
Go to Party Unity My Ass and check out the angry Dems who says this nomination process failed them. They will NOT be voting Obama.

WestCoastMessenger,

The lady in the pantsuit is still my choice, her speech reinforced that for me. I don't want to 'settle for' as in previous elections.

rebate,
i find it interesting that you cherry pick a line from a comment and dismiss the rest.
the abe lincoln example does not apply to obama and todays times at all.

i wrote that obama had made a mistake
(and he is maying them frequently now-and more and more now that he does not have sen. clinton to bounce off)
and the only defense joe biden had for him is give him a chance to learn. GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO LEARN?! so for the sake of trying to "make history" american people are and will suffer, while obama is trying to learn.
what the dems and the reps. have done this election year is unpatriotic and have done the american people a great disservice.
will we the peons fight it out on the blogs and get poorer and poorer, (because financially they are ALL set)
they play politics with your lives
to quote a former presidential candidate
"this is not a game, these are people lives we are talking about"
i'll leave it to you to find out who it is.

IF YOU LIKE THIS ECONOMY, LIKE THIS NEVER-ENDING WAR, LIKE PAYING HIGH GAS PRICES, LIKE THE TAX BREAKS FOR THE RICH, IF YOU CAN'T WAIT TO INVADE IRAN, IF YOU LIKE THE UNFAIR TRADE POLICIES THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING OUR JOBS OVERSEAS, IF YOU LIKE THE LOSS OF THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS, IF YOU LIKE ILLEGAL WIRETAPS, IF YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V. WADE. IF YOU LIKE THE FACT THAT THE US IS ONE OF THE MOST REVILED NATIONS ON THE PLANET, THEN YOU'LL JUST LOVE McCAIN.

The claims that 'More states, more votes, more pledged delegates, more super delegates' is absurd.
Is Alaska equivalent to New York, California? It makes no sense to point out most states unless you are determined to lie with statistics. Obama indeed received less votes; much less votes than Hillary. The calculation was rigged up by proportionality rule and caucus results. From Washington primaries, and caucus, we know that his winning margin was blown up by more than six times. From Texas primary and caucus, we can tell that his winnings were at fault altogether because his four points loss in primary was changed to 12 points win in caucus.

The superdelegates were supposed to detect the activists' fraud in rigging up election results and select the better candidate for the party; however, DNC was determined to help BO get his nominee in deceit and conceit of a grand scale.

If you want to know the fact, the number of pledged delegates that BO received was 1763 versus 1640 which is represented by 123 pledged delegates. In Washington alone, Obama received 36 more pledged delegates than Hillary. In fact he should not get more than 6 delegates than Hillary. In Texas, BO received 9 more delegates in caucus in his loss in primary. In Washington and Texas, BO stole by about 40 delegates. In all his big win in caucuses, he stole by more.

At the end of election, with DNC and the party pundits, he was shown to have actual landslide losses one after another in primaries. In electorate votes and actual votes, BO losses by a significant margin. This tells us how undemocratic the Democratic Party has grown to be.

Say No to the Party and deliver them a landslide loss in November. They deserve real beating and humiliation for the mockery of DEMOCRACY. Then real democracy can follow.

McCain 08; Nobama ever and ever after for the insidious fraud.

OBAMA IS NOT A DEMOCRAT
OBAMA IS A SOCIALIST
OBAMA IS A MARXIST
OBAMA IS A COMMUNIST
OBAMA IS A RACIST
OBAMA IS A LIAR
OBAMA WILL NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER
OBAMA CORRUPTED THE ELECTION
This is my opinion and I approve of it.

McCain's former wife speaks out.... money quote...

Some of McCain’s acquaintances are less forgiving, however. They portray the politician as a self-centred womaniser who effectively abandoned his crippled wife to ‘play the field’. They accuse him of finally settling on Cindy, a former rodeo beauty queen, for financial reasons.

The DNC did not care that Obama was receiving funds from Middle East terror groups. His campaign had a Ways and Means Committee to tranfer funds from them to legal looking American citizens. He has far too many close associates, friends and supporters from anti-American factions, it makes one's question everything he says and does. He certainly is not a true-blue American with America his most important entity to serve. It will all change after he is elected and then America will know a traitor at heart. The MSM has not vetted this man, his life and associates. He has bought eveyone off with big money and lies. This is my opinion and I believe it to be true.

PEACE DEMOCRATS.

IGNORE THE NAYSAYERS AND REPUBS - FORGE AHEAD.

OBAMA '08

As gracious and classy a concession speech as I've ever seen. As she said, it's time for the Democratic Family to come together. We need to take the government back from the fools and ideologues who've made the messes were in. As an Obama supporter, my hat's off to Senator Clinton.

Posted by: Brooklyn Democrat | Jun 8, 2008 4:47:02 PM

Chris Matthew asked Hillary if she can help Obama to get her voters to support him.
He said Hillary should said, Obama is 99.9% better than McCain.
See,,,how bias he is and shameless.
His other pundit said if Hillary can help Obama won KY and WV , it's like Obama won 50 states already.
They forgot when Hillary won those states by landslide , the MSM did not even bother to announced it.

I could not believe what I heard at that time.
I wish I could punch them very hard.

He had an array of experiences: Minister to Russia, Minister to Great Britain, ten years in the Senate, elected five times to the House of Representatives, Secretary of State for five years. While he was in office the nation increased in size by 33%. Yet, when he was elected as president in 1856, James Buchanan soon acquired the reputation as the worst president in the history of the country. The man who followed him in office only had two terms in the Illinois State Legislature, but Abraham Lincoln had no problem being elected to the presidency.

rebate
in all that you just said about why we will love mccain.
there was not one thing in that that would convience me that obama has sown he can change that.

obama made a mistake last week, and a reporter was asking joe biden about the mistake.
biden' only defense of obama said,
"Look he has got to have a chance to learn"
now i am all for and really support learning.
but when you have someone who is more experienced running for the hardest job on the planet, and you choose to back the lesser candidate, well i call that unamerican.
