Things to Do In Denver When You’re Dead
EmailThe Clintons – especially Bill – are providing some behind-the-scenes drama, Politico reports, with former President Bill Clinton reportedly disappointed that he will be speaking on the night devoted to "Securing America’s Future."
"The former president is disappointed, associates said, because he is eager to speak about the economy and more broadly about Democratic ideas – emphasizing the contrast between the Bush years and his own record in the 1990s," Politico reports. "This is an especially sore point for Bill Clinton, people close to him say, because among many grievances he has about the campaign Obama waged against his wife is a belief that the candidate poor-mouthed the political and policy successes of his two terms."
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, meanwhile, will speak to her delegates on Wednesday, thanking them and urging them to vote for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, during the roll call vote.
The McCain camp is running TV ads trying to exploit to anger and hurt feelings of Clinton supporters, questioning why Obama didn’t pick her as his VP in one ad and featuring Debra Bartoshevich, a former Clinton delegate, extolling McCain in another.
In the ad Bartoshevich says, "I’m a proud Hillary Clinton Democrat. She had the experience and judgment to be President. Now, in a first for me, I’m supporting a Republican, John McCain. I respect his maverick and independent streak, and now he’s the one with the experience and judgment. A lot of Democrats will vote McCain. It’s okay, really!"

So Bill Clinton is called a racist, Obama equates his presidency with Bush, his surrogates bash Hillary and call her racist and every name in the book, and he’s supposed to be jumping up and down for Obama?

Yesterday, a woman showed up at my door wearing an Obama pin on her shirt. She was carrying a clipboard with paper on it, and a pen. When I opened the screened door, she identified herself a member of the Barack Obama campaign, and said, “We would like to know how you are planning to vote in November.” I told her it was none of her business how I planned to vote, and she starting writing something down on her tablet. I was so angry, I told her, “Strike that. I’m a Democrat, and I’m voting for John McCain. How do you like that?” Her response was, “I guess you are not ready for change then?” I slammed the door in her face. I have had people show up at my door to plead their case for their candidate, but I have never had anyone show up at my door from a political campaign and ask specifically how I intend to vote. Has this happened to anyone else out there? Is this a normal practice? Frankly, I felt a little intimidated, although the woman was polite. I don’t like the idea of someone asking how I’m going to vote, and then writing things down about me. This was a first for me.

Again the republicans are getting you to vote agianst your best interest..just like they’ve been doing doing for the past 30 years…if you think you are going to better off under a republican administration that doesn’t give a hoot about you please, please, please do vote for McCain and see where you are four years from now.
Posted by: Lionel | August 25, 2008, 8:23 am 8:23 am
Former President Bill Clinton is one of the biggest reasons that I could not support Hillary’s candidacy for prez OR VP. Yes, his presidency brought us good things, so many that my elderly Republican parents changed parties; and no, it’s not really fair to Hillary. But the Monica “thing” soiled more than a dress. It tarnished the highest office in the land. I want no more lectures from Bill Clinton, nor should he be hanging around the White House giving advice. As far as I am concerned, he is lucky to have any part in the convention. No more whining and sniveling.

The phony Nthingness’ equating the Clinton administratin to that of GW Bush’s is a distortion that shall never be forgotten. His accusations of fellow democrats be racists, including his “vp” Biden who should really be the pres, place Zero-bama from the bottom of the deck.
He who lies shall be defeated.

I’m confused by your headline. Are you saying that Bill Clinton is dead? Is it some ominous prediction? It’s confusing, morbid and threatening.
Furthermore, whatever you think of Bill Clinton it was wrong for the Obama campaign to lump his administration’s successes to the disastrous Bush presidency. Clinton left with a 65 % approval rating for a reason. Anyone would be hugely insulted in his situation. He was a tremendously successful Dem president who was maligned by a Dem nominee. It was truly bizarre. And now it’s Clinton’s fault for being mad at the snub?

Janet
who had people come to his door every other day for the months of december and january practically
I had several campaigns ask how I was going to vote.
it is a slip that happens often with volunteer organizations…
It is just as off putting when a romeny or a clinton or and edwards did it.
but it’s just the casualty of having volunteers.
…and I was NEVER OFFENDED by it just chuckled and told them that I was pretty sure they shouldn’t be asking that..
It’s too bad that you were.
I would say be glad you don’t live in NH you get that question from all the campaigns about half of the time..

we got enough mountains… how about taking some of these things being portrayed as mountains that are really mole hills…instead of the hype of the other direction.
something tells me Bill Clinton as off mark as he was during this primary is not that weirdly small about when he was going to speak becoming a big issue.
I just can’t believe and ex-leader of the free world would care when he is going to speak really.
This sounds silly.

Janet, there is nothing wrong there. Everyone does that. Hillary Clinton supporters have also visited a friend of mine while I was visiting but we never turned them back. They were polite and we were equally responsive. That was during the primaries.

“I’m confused by your headline. Are you saying that Bill Clinton is dead? Is it some ominous prediction? It’s confusing, morbid and threatening.”
You may have forgotten about the movie, “Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead.” I suspect that the headline was just a joke based on the movie title. Hillary’s presidential hopes for 2008 are dead, but she will have other things to do–and a lot of them, would be my guess.
Posted by: Joel | August 25, 2008, 8:35 am 8:35 am
Polls show that 47 % of registered voters think Obama does not have enough experience to be president. That’s a huge hurdle to overcome. If he goes down it will not be the fault of the Clintons. Furthermore, both Bill and Hillary campaigned to see Obama elected to the Senate and advance his career. Then for Obama to lump fellow Dem Bill Clinton in with the horrific reign of George W. Bush was a disrespectful betrayal and unprecedented in presidential politics. Even McCain went dutifully to the White House for Bush’s blessing. I will vote for Obama because he is far better on the issues but I won’t forget how he dissed Bill Clinton.

Somebody is admitting that Mccain’s Presidency is going to bring misery but to spite Obama, she is still going to vote Mccain. It is really funny what America has turned into. The Repulicans call us radicals, liberals and crucified Clinton for the Lewinsky issue but suddenly they are keeping quiet on Mccains and shamefully use his POW as a cover for everything. Mccain and Barr led the onslaught on Bill Clinton and yet they come back and still divide us. Are we really that STUPID?
Posted by: jayjay | August 25, 2008, 8:43 am 8:43 am
IF that someone is me, I have admitted to nothing. I am not voting for Obama because he is not qualified to be president. I have far more confidence in McCain’s ability to do the job. My pleasure comes from helping to defeat the fraud and getting McCain into office. Don’t get my message twisted.

Thank you to those who answered my questions about the Obama campaign worker who showed up at my door and wanted to know how I was going to vote. I am nervous because I live in a neighbor where tensions are high. Some of my neighbors are politically active and don’t even speak to each other anymore because of this election. I can’t wait for it to be over.
Posted by: Janet | August 25, 2008, 8:48 am 8:48 am
What’s more, Obama led a pretty good onslaught against Clinton’s presidency himself and called him racist to boot.
We expect that the Republicans will trash a Democrat; we do not expect a Democrat to trash a Democrat. You are right, we are NOT stupid.

The Obama camp just doesn’t get it. They want to glorify their candidate by comparing him to the Kennedys yet they are too afraid to use their greatest resource right now in the party– the Clintons. Oh except that they want Hillary’s votes –but that’s all, “thanks!”.

I don’t understand why Hillary supporters would rather vote for 4 more years of Bush policies! Are they so angry that common sense is not part of their equation? Hillary did not win the nomination. People all over America voted for whom they wanted and Hillary was not their choice! Hillary and her campaign brought a lot of problems on themselves.
It’s easy to throw the blame on someone else. But she needs to take a look at her short-comings. Hillary ran a negative campaign. Obama is the new kid on the block, but she tried to discredit and trash him every chance she got. She came across as a very angry and self-serving person. She came across as someone believing she is entitled. Enough is enough!
If Hillary supporters want to vote for Bush, go right ahead. And don’t complain about anything! If you want to break from the party, go right ahead. Republicans don’t give a hill of beans about you. You should have figured that out after review of the past 8 years.
If you are not voting for Obama because of his skin color, I feel sorry for you. God made all of us in many colors. So if you have a problem with that, it’s your problem. Get over it!
God Bless America!

Maybe since McCain is so distraught about Hillary being side lined, that he’d perhaps enjoy having her as his VP pick.

Obama keeps chanting that McCain will be the same as Bush. You can believe what Obama says today if you choose but he may be on the other side of the issue tomorrow.
Obama is grossly under-qualified and has poor judgment therefore I will never vote for him.
This Democrat will vote for McCain because he is the best choice of the two given to me.

Hokie Freak sounds angry. I wonder why? Is it because his chosen candidate isn’t where he should be in the polls? With the mainstream media doing PR work for Senator Obama, shouldn’t he be well ahead? BTW, Hokie, not all of McCain Democrats are disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters. I wasn’t very happy with any of the Democratic candidates for President, and that is why I intend to vote for John McCain. It is your perogative to spew vitriol if you choose. Doing so will affect your blood pressure, but it won’t affect my vote.

The last time I met Bill Clinton I thanked him for helping me to get over the loss of the Kennedys (Bobby and John.For me, Bill Clinton picked up that torch of idealism, tolerance, social justice and devotion to public service that the Kennedys inspired me with when I was a child. Then to see Obama trash his accomplishments and what he meant to so many of us was very hard to stomach. It’s almost as if Obama tried to supplant Clinton instead of building on his tremendous legacy. It was very disturbing and seemed immature and petty to me.
Posted by: hopesprings52 | August 25, 2008, 9:46 am 9:46 am
I have heard lots of talking heads and Obama supporters tell the Hillary Clinton supporters to get over it. OK! well it seems a large number of them are “over it” and have made the decision to vote for John McCain, so my advice to the Obama supporters in the media and public is ” get over it”….. oh wait did I hear a poll # this morning….Obama 47 McCain 47, well don’t worry I’m sure all those under 30 voters will make up the difference this fall…there uh uh energized yea thats it!
Posted by: Jim | August 25, 2008, 9:48 am 9:48 am
I am angry..and i’m not alone. If you actually are disaffected enough to have to wonder why, I see little point in trying to explain it to you. There’s no need for me to convince you anyway. I’ve helped register 65 NEW voters in my district since January. All the phony dems will be replaced and soon forgotten. In short, your vote is as unneeded as your narrow-minded opinion. For the record, Obama was not my candidate, but I’m not so short-sighted and petty to let that deter my efforts to see the democrats take back the white house. As for my vitriol (nice SAT word BTW), it burns as hot as my passion for a better future. And as for my blood-pressure, 120/80 as always per my checkup 2 weeks ago…but thanks for caring.
Posted by: Hokie Freak | August 25, 2008, 9:49 am 9:49 am
In my humble opinion, people should be voting for the candidate, not the party. I am a Hillary supporter and I don’t think I can support Obama. However, I must admit that putting Biden on the ticket sways me towards the democrats. For me I think that maybe putting up with four years of McCain could be worth it if we get Hillary for the following eight. Could it be 1988 again?

One thing I have come to conclude on the McCain campaign using Hill in their commercials …
They are managing to ķill 3 birds with 1 stone …
1. Destroy Sen O.’s character ( while at the same time courting Hill votes ) …
2. Destroy Hill’s future support among Democrats ( since most will see it as HER
attacking a fellow Democrat )…
3. Stay above the fray ( the man may be Old but cynicism is NOT lost on McCain )
HE ( McCain ) is single handedly decapitating the DEMOCRATIC PARTY for LIFE if we are STUPID
ENOUGH to fall for his moves …

True Democrats won’t forget how Obama dissed Bill Clinton by calling him a racist and stating that the Clinton years and Bush (I and II) years were one and the same. They will make their ire shown in November.
John McCain is the perfect Republican candidate; a moderate who has worked with Democrats throughout his years in Washington. Most Dems will have no problem with a President McCain for 4 years.

all of this is blow hardy…
look at the new poll from NYT and CBS 5% of Hillary supporters at the convention said they will vote against Obama…
5 PERCENT!… that is why there won’t be a roll call…because people who are actually educated about this election know what it would to women and our children and healthcare and social security and our standing in the world and our kids futures in that world…(blown to bits) if we elect McCain…
and they also know what damage PUMA and some of these commenters have done to Hillary and Bill.
Whether you liked them or not…here are 2 people who could continue serve this country well and nobly…

What judgement and experience?
Many Americans died or were horrifically maimed in Iraq for the McCain promotion of this war. Where is his understanding, and remorse for his actions. NONE!
McCain exploits and hopes to prevent a new generation, a new mindset to deal with the world politically, economically, and culturally.
He creates a trivial, stupid campaign to distract, destroy, and continue the war-mongering selfish person that perhaps he always was.

Maybe Ayers and Dohrn WERE, as they claimed, “communists” — although their political work, especially the endorsement of Charlie Manson, destroyed the Movement.
Ayers and Dohrn, of all the Weathermen, had no legal consequences for blowing up this and that, and apparently trying to blow up a lot more. Doesn’t this suggest that their efforts were aligned with COINTELPRO — and that this could well be the case for other corporate scions — overwhlmingly from Republican families — “leading” the left in the late sixties?

Sorry, but Obama dug his own grave here.
He accused the only successful Democratic president in decades of:
1. Being a racist
2. Not having any novel ideas (saying, instead, that it was Reagan who had them)
3. Being “old politics” on par with the Republicans
It’s funny how things turn out. Now he picked Biden, a notorious war hawk, as a VP. No greater supporter of the war in the Democratic Party than Biden.

the few whacko voices are suddenly being shown for what they are… and Hillary and her real supporters are saying…
“shut up.”
this has all been overhyped by this little group of angry …and yes somewhat immature and emotional people who put their own self righteous POV over the issues and people effected by those issues all for the sound and worth of their own voices over those things.
this has been a story created by the media and that group
go look at the numbers for Bill Clinton before the convention in 92.

What does a black candidate have to do in this bigoted atmosphere to be president?? He must stand firm and know that what God has chosen to be, will be and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it. All you so called Hillary/McCain Democrats are not Democrats, you are Empty and hollow voices. I was actually pulling for Hillary because I thought she was a class act, but after the BIG unnecesary lie about “Bosnia Fire” and Bill’s strategic slip and racial undertone(He knew excactly what he was saying) I can’t vote for anyone I can’t trust. You Clinton supporters forget that Bill Clintons ties to some supports (Paul) are very unsavory and the Republicans would have ripped her to shreds. With Obama, whether you believe in him or not, has shown class and great management skills running his campaign and is “The ONLY CLASS ACT” in this race. If you wan to vote for McCain who was at the bottom of his class and has turned from Maverick to Neo-con, go ahead, you weren’t ever going to vote for a qualified Black man anyway. You’re just hiding behind Hillary. What a sad bunch, who would vote against their own interests before they

After hearing the disgruntled caller on C-Span this morning angrily express their feelings about how Hillary was treated throughout the primaries, and on May 31 when only 1/2 the delegate count was awarded WHEN SHE WAS STILL IN THE GAME, but now that she’s not FL. AND MI GET FULL DELEGATE COUNT! What a sham the Dem Party is!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!
As much as I like Biden, Americans vote for the TOP of the ticket and his cred and experience can’t give it to Bozo.
Biden does not take the stink off BO.
McCain ’08/Hillary ’12

Any woman who voted for Hillary and is willing to sell out Roe and vote for McCain is a petulant child who deserves no respect. Period.

When Obama loses the election. It will be all over for him politically.
Hillary will be the nominee in 2012. She will return America to peace and prosperity for all. She will be our President.
OBAMA IS THE BIGGEST WHINER THAT THERE IS OR EVER WiLL BE.

I have no qualms voting for McCain; to quote one who thinks he’s great:
“That’s not the Democratic Party I knew.”

Quote: “Difference of opinion is what makes horse races. The assumption that ANY “black” vote belongs to The CHANGEling isn’t a good one — much of the black intelligentsia, on the “left” as well as the “right” — and I don’t mean shameless CNN shill Roland Martin — is ANTI-Obama.”
That isn’t true, of course. You know that, don’t you? And where do you get off with this “changeling” slur? From where I sit, it fits McCain better, as he switched positions on just about everything in his passion to be president.
Quote: “There is no more “racist” assumption, in fact, than that “blacks” belong to Obama — who belongs, in every way that matters, to the anti-democratic “leadership” of the Democratic Party, a bunch of rich white guys from the northeast.”
And what then shall we say of the GOP? A bunch of rich white guys from the south and midwest? I’m stricken at the difference in the makeup of the crowds McCain attracts and those who come to see Obama. Ken Mehlmann apologized in 2005 for his party’s forty-year history of race-baiting politics. There’s no point in denying it. It is what it is, and the GOP’s ascension has not been a pretty thing. I have respect for men like the Steeles, but no respect at all for the Republican Party.

I watched the ad, I kept waiting for a funny punchline, but nothing. I can see why she supports McCain though – that same fake smile. I halfway expected her to say ‘my friends’ at the end.

This whole Democratic Convention is just full of crap. Michelle Obama’s speech was a disappointment. It was just another con-job.
Bring back the Clintons. They had class and cared for all Americans. Obama does not represent me or my family. We are not socialist.
