A Strange Event for Clinton as Primary Winds Down
EmailABC News’ Kate Snow and Eloise Harper Report: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has a lot on her mind, with her supporters, including Gov. Tom Vilsack a co-chair of her campaign, clamoring for her to get behind Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., after Tuesday.
On the last day of campaigning for the Democratic party’s nomination Clinton lost her voice, introduced the wrong mayor of the town and told the crowd she needed to "gargle" to recover her voice, while her daughter took the microphone.
In a room with a muffled echo coming from the speakers, Chelsea Clinton introduced her mother onto the stage. Her voice was so distorted that it caused many reporters who are used to hearing the young Clinton to speak wonder if she was feeling sick. When her mother’s voice sounded similar – it was clear it was the room or the speakers.
Senator Clinton introduced Curt Bernard as the mayor of the town of Yankton to which got some boos in the crowd and a confused Clinton looked down and someone in the audience informed the Senator which prompted her to say "Oh Dan Specht right, I got the wrong list, I don’t know who the other gentleman is but I hope I haven’t offended him." Bernard, the former mayor, was ousted in December, which might explain the boos from the audience.
About a quarter of the way through Clinton’s voice gave way and she started coughing and grabbed her water glass. She quickly asked her daughter to help her on the stage. Chelsea grabbed the microphone and articulately outlined her mother’s entire universal health care plane. Clinton recovered and later burst into another coughing fit – and the Senator asked Chelsea again to grab the microphone. Before exiting the stage Clinton said "I’m going to run out and gargle for a bit."
Chelsea Clinton went point-by-point through Clinton’s energy plan, and filled her mother in on what they had been talking about.
Clinton made it clear that she is not conceding the race tomorrow, pointing out that she will spend the next few days making calls to superdelegates. "Tomorrow is the last day of the primaries and the beginning of a new phase in the campaign. After South Dakota and Montana vote I will lead in the popular vote and Senator Obama will lead in the delegate count. The voters will have voted and so the decision will fall to the delegates empowered to vote at the Democratic Convention. I will be spending the coming days making my case to those delegates. Their responsibility not only to the Democratic Party but to our country is to vote for the candidate who is best able to lead us to victory in November and best prepared to lead our country into the future."
There has been much speculation that Clinton will drop out of the race Tuesday night in New York – but the Senator and her campaign aides have made it clear that Clinton intends to do no such thing. Clinton’s campaign will not identify what the benchmark is for there to be a nominee. They have not accepted the 2118 number as the threshold, because the argue that they reserve the right to appeal that to the credentials committee. As one reporter said earlier "it sounds there’s a nominee when she says there’s a nominee."

Clinton must NOT drop out. It will HURT her supporters tremendously.
We, the voters, do NOT care for Democrtaic or Republican Party. We care for this country and we DESERVE the BESt of three three running to be the President.
SDs – please shun your fear. Nothing is going to happen to you if you choose the best. You know Clinto is the BEST.
Don’t you???
SDs must remember this “We will never forgive your PRETENCE.”
We will make McCain win, because he is the SECONd best.

At this point she looks unprofessional and petty. She is not going to go gracefully. She wants to fight, argue and drag out this contest. This reflects so badly on the democratic party which allowed this nonsense. In a business setting, you are expected to be professional and be a team player at this point in the game rather you are a woman or a man. She had all the advantages in the beginning but due to running a bad campaign and racking up huge debt she has lost.

Right On Leslie!
HCF (Hillary Control Freak) can’t let go, even though her party, the popular vote and the delegates have told her its time to move on. By trying to desperately influence or control the final say on who is the nominee, she is slapping everyone in the US in the face, and sealing her political fate. One more term as NY Senator and out if you ask me.

Barack Hussein Obama appealing to voters on his vague promises of “unity and change”, has had a one really strong stance that he was against the war in Iraq from the beginning and in his own words—–showing his own judgment to assume the responsibilities of the President of the US, showing his clear-sightedness, showing his wisdom—– was that America can never win the war in Iraq—he has consistently taken this stand. So now we learn on the news, in the Newspapers that indeed the war in Iraq has finally taken the turn that our men fought so hard to achieve, and our men that died were not “wasted” as Obama said. The terrorists have lost, life is now being restored for the Iraqis and stability is coming the Middle East. So how will OBAMA turn this around to his advantage? What will he say now that everyone misunderstood his stance?

All you people who think Hillary will drop out soon are delusional; she will NOT. She may suspend her campaign but will spend the remaining time trying either to change delegates and superdelegates’ minds or forcing Obama to offer her the vice presidency. The dems can pressure her all they want, it won’t do any good. Hillary is all about herself, not the party, as long as there is any chance – even if only in her own mind – she will not quit.
Posted by: Indiana | June 2, 2008, 8:36 pm 8:36 pm
“Let every vote count” is simply Clinton-speak for “Even though I’m losing I really deserve some extra advantage.” Last fall she was way ahead in endorsements and in the polls, but she ran a very very poor campaign. (And by the way, last fall she wasn’t in favor of counting every vote; her campaign was saying the race would be over on Super Tuesday. I guess all these other voters didn’t matter so much then.) She had no central message, other than inevitability, until she finally found one that worked for her: racism. Her campaign was confused and marked by staff shakeups. She had no real strategy past Super Tuesday; meanwhile Obama captured the delegate race with a brilliantly executed plan.
In the late stages Hillary’s campaign has been desperate and characterized by the typical Clinton strategy of distorting the truth and trying to change the rules of the game, once it’s clear that you can’t win by the rules everyone else is using. “I’m ahead in the popular vote” is only true in some alternate fuzzy-math universe, and irrelevant in any case – if popular vote was the deciding factor Obama would have gone after that instead of a delegate majority. “I’ve won the important states” – well, what does that say to all those other states whose voters thought that their votes were counting too?
This has been Clinton’s campaign – disorganized, confused, racist, petty, whining, divisive, self-serving. Is this the person I want as President? Absolutely not. Obama is by far the better candidate.

Posted by Anne: “Barack Hussein Obama appealing to voters on his vague promises of “unity and change”, has had a one really strong stance that he was against the war in Iraq from the beginning…..”
Remarks by Senator Obama in 2004 tend to contradict the above-mentioned claim made by him throughout the primary campaign.
While Senator Obama was campaigning for the U.S. Senate, he was asked how he would have voted on the Iraq war resolution had he been a Senator at the time. His answer: “I don’t know.” Also in 2004 he indicated there wasn’t “much difference” between his position on the Iraq war and that of President Bush.

The truth regarding the fables of the Clinton presidency is that it was a total disgrace to the Nation. It was a co-presidency and that is what we will have again if Hillary is elected. The body count will increase, secrets sold to our enemies, less freedoms, greed for money and power continued and if the past Clintons presidency and the present Bush presidency is not enough to destroy our Republic, be assured one more Clintons presidency will indeed bring the Republic to an end.

Who are these people speculating that Hillary might be willing to admit defeat and drop out?! How can anyone be so clueless about the Clintons?
She will NEVER drop out. Not ever. She’ll take this thing to the convention and after she loses there, she’ll take it to the courts and do whatever it takes to keep Obama from winning the Presidency.
She doesn’t care about the party; she cares about herself first. What have these speculators been watching for the last 15 years?
What is best for the Democratic Party means nothing to Hillary Clinton.
Posted by: BobeVT | June 2, 2008, 8:53 pm 8:53 pm
She can’t accept defeat – sounds a little like Naploean…. She can’t count either because she isn’t ahead in popular votes unless you use Clinton math – go figure…..
She is in because she thinks she owed this… after being married to Bill I guess she feels left out on a lot of things – but she isn’t owned this anymore than someone is owed cancer… give it up HRC, you lost by your on rules and unless you can change them again you ain’t gonna get it

Clinton ran a vigorous campaign, so did Obama.
The trouble with the DNC RBC decision is that nothing in thier Charter permits the division of votes in the manner that the Michgan Democratic Party allocated them. FOr the most part, I understand the reasoning behind the decision, especially given that both Clinton and Obama people in Michigan came up with the plan.
Now, I won’t vote for someone out of spite, but I think a few people posting here would.
Posted by: T. Roll | June 2, 2008, 9:24 pm 9:24 pm
I agree with watch your back. I would be very careful, if I were Obama. If he privately offers the VP to HIllary and she accepts- possibly even if this agreement is made public- she could blind side him at the convention, having worked stealthily behind the scenes to secure enough superdelegate insurgents to swap the roles on the ticket, so that she would be president instead. She would make the arguments as follows- claim that she won the popular vote, say she’s more electable, that he is a junior senator, and she’s more experienced and ready to be president- regardless of Obama’s apparent victory based on the delegate count. Obama need’s to be extremely careful in this regard, because she may just bite him on the @ss. Hillary can’t be trusted to honor her word to Obama or the DNC. Even after Obama is declared the presumptive winner, if there’s a back door in at the convention through buying superdelegates, she would go against her word. She would do just about anything to be president. Do not trust her. Pick someone else for VP, and she will be out of the picture without recourse.
Posted by: Sharon | June 2, 2008, 9:46 pm 9:46 pm
IF what the DNC did is not in there charter they have a serious problem, you cant break rules of by laws, needer can you put new one in when you feel like.
If what they did is legally challenged they will lose, am surprised that the media has not verified if the DNC went against their own charter.
Posted by: SJ | June 2, 2008, 9:47 pm 9:47 pm
I really hope that Hillary finally gives in and ends the primary. The Democratic party will unite and kicks McCains ass. McCain thinks that Obama just like the rest of the Dems before him will succumb – well he has something coming and Obama will run circles around McCain.
There will be some Hillary supporters that will defect but I highly doubt that most will. Obama will get the votes of the blacks, hispanics, democrats, independents, liberals, some of the conservatives, some republicans, the young adults, asian immigrants, and those that are looking for change. McCain won’t have many people voting for him.
Posted by: Jordan | June 2, 2008, 9:54 pm 9:54 pm
This is Hillary’s last chance to bow out gracefully and hang on to whatever shred of legacy and political clout that the Clintons have left. If she doesn’t suspend her candidacy tomorrow, the Democratic party will be through with her – wait and see. I hope, for all our sakes, that she does the right thing and steps aside.
If Hillary is your candidate of choice and you are upset that she won’t be nominated, that makes sense and I understand. Still, it’s time. I hope she endorses Obama and works hard to ensure his presidency, but in any case, I wish her well.
Posted by: Ray | June 2, 2008, 9:58 pm 9:58 pm

Those who think Sen. McCain is a viable alternative for Democratic Party voters probably never believed in Democratic Party principles in the first place.
He is willing to let the war in Iraq go on indefinitely. Even though he admits to knowing little about the economy, his plans seem to be to like that for the Iraq war. Just let things run their course and work themselves out for themselves. And, he promises to appoint more Justices like Scalia and Roberts.
In other words, he wants to follow down the Bush path on every issue that is important.
If Sen. McCain is a viable alternative for Democratic Party voters then the Democratic Party is no different than the Republican Party and contributors wasted hundreds of millions of dollars contesting two party Primary campaigns.
McCain represents four more years of President Bush’s policies. Have we forgotten how much we were looking forward to putting an end to that?

After the primaries are over, the realities of life will sink in. Americans will then vote for a soldier who can either win the war or strategically withdraw. I would rather have a capable soldier fighting outside our borders, than an inexperienced Chicago lawyer turn his attention to within these borders and wage war on the middle class by raising taxes and continue with the shameful policies of identity politics. The last thing that our government needs is another lawyer!
You want lower energy prices; consume less, demand cars that consume less, open the US to drilling and stop opposing nuclear power.
You want cheaper food prices; stop buying bio-fuel (which is made of corn – 400 lbs. of it to make a gallon) and increase US oil drilling.
And if you want lower casualties now but more in the future – cut and run! Let it all go to seed and then we’ll be longing for the days that gas was only $4 a gallon.
Americans will realize that no one election will change the nation… remember the 2006 mid-term election which swept in the democrats? Any change?
Rhetoric is cheap… where is Obama’s bipartisanship in action, where is his legacy of legislation… and by the way… where does he go to church now that TUCC is political kryptonite. My guess is he will convert to being a Roman Catholic… he needs to woo those voters. A safer bet would be Episcopalian or Baptist – a conversion before convention would be best.

DON’T BE DUPED AGAIN AMERICA !!!
IT’S ABOUT ELECTABILITY !!!
Large numbers of BUSH_McCain Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on with the backing and help of the medical and insurance industry. Under the direction of the George Bush, and Karl Rove vote fraud, and vote manipulation machine. Because they feel Barack Obama would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And they want to stop Hillary Clinton from fixing the HUGE! American, and Global mess they have created. shocking!!! isn’t it. Just gotta love those good old draft dodging, silver spoon Texas boys. Not! :-(
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves off of you, and your children’s suffering.
With Hillary Clinton you are almost 100% certain to get quality affordable universal health care for everyone very soon. And you are also certain to see major improvements in the economy for everyone.
The American people face even worse catastrophes ahead than the ones you are living through now. It will take all of the skills, and experience of Hillary Clinton to pull the American people out of this mess we are in. Fortunately fixing up, and cleaning up others incompetence, immoral degeneracy, and mess is what the Clinton’s do very well.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
Just look at Oregon for example. Obama won Oregon by about 70,000 votes. But approximately 79,000 Bush republicans switched party’s back in January to vote for Obama in the democratic primary. They are not going to vote for, or support any Democrat in November. Are you DEMOCRATS going to put up with that. Are you that stupid, and weak. The Bush republicans think you are that stupid, and weak.
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses, and open primaries where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help. Except North Carolina where 35% of the population is African American, and approximately 90% of them block voted for him. African Americans are only approximately 17% of the general population.
Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton. This is even more phenomenal when you consider she has been also fighting against the George Bush, Karl Rove vote fraud machine in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses. Hillary Clinton is STUNNING!.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. That is crystal clear now. Because all of the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. And the demographics, and experience are completely against him. All of this vote fraud and Bush republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is.
You will have another McGovern catastrophe where George McGovern lost 49 of 50 states. And was the reason the super-delegates were created to keep that from happening again. Don’t let that happen to the party and America again super-delegates. You have the power to prevent it. The only important question now is who can best win in November. And the answer is HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. That fact is also now crystal clear.
And YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose. As do African Americans. Support Hillary Clinton. She will do her best for all of you. And she will know how to best get it done on day one.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic, and heroic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen. Probably the best there has ever been. :-)

If it’s all about electability then they should just hand this to Al Gore. He’s the strongest candidate the Democrats could pick.
In fact, though, winning the nomination is all about winning a majority of the delegates. Obama is about to do that, and he will be the nominee. Hillary and her supporters can continue to whine and moan, but she just didn’t win.

Obama should create a new Office of Special Adviser to the President for HRC and get someone else for VP. This way he gives her the opportunity to use her policy experience and advisory role, which she has touted as her strength. Same time, Obama can focus on GE without her baggage. This way, she doesn’t say Obama wouldn’t have won if not for her being VP.
