Clinton Campaign talking about this all being over by mid June??? WTF is up with that?

[Johnny__Motown]

On MSNBC's "Race For The White House" today they quoted Terry McAuliffe as saying it may all be over by June 15th.


Then Joe (asshat) Scarborough said he heard something from inside the Clinton Campaign that was similar. That something was going to happen in June, that this was not going to go to Denver.




My WILD guess is that she will try to blackmail her way onto the ticket as V.P. in return for her concession and endorsement.


Any other thoughts?

[Yael]

1. Thank. God.

They are finally realizing that win, lose or draw -- this thing needs to END in June.

[Cha]

27. I don't believe those

weasels for a New York second.

[tekisui]

2. They don't hold to anything they say.

So it means nothing.

But, it will be over by June 3rd. Whether Hillary let's go and accepts defeat, then, is to be seen.

[lisa58]

3. I heard that too...

...but I was giving my daughter a bath so I wasn't sure who said what to who. I couldn't find a thread here on it so I'm glad you posted. My speculation is it has to do with money and Jim Clyburn.

[SoonerPride]

4. They know it is over.

They run out of money after they lose two on 5/6

[existentialist]

5. Who knows?

The Clinton campaign was predicting that it would be over by super Tuesday too.

[Yael]

28. They were right. It was.

:D

[lisa58]

29. lol

[rurallib]

6. Exit strategy? What a concept!

[crankychatter]

7. If Obama concedes to blackmail and offers her the VP slot

she and all her ilk had better pray to whatever weird dieties they have, for his health and safety...

that's all I need to say

[anamandujano]

11. It's probably someone involved in the Rezko fiasco that will blackmail him.

[Johnny__Motown]

13. It is far more likely that Monica has video

[Yael]

30. Yeah -- probably that. Why they are waiting until June to release it

Given that she is swimming in primary cash right now.

[anamandujano]

42. You misunderstood. The Rezko trial is heating up and the Wright

fiasco is about to be eclipsed by it. Obama is up to his eyeballs in the dirty politics of Chicago. Hillary does not have to do anything. His partners in crime will do it all. He doesn't have a monitor in that court for nothing.

[Yael]

43. Because Chicago-style politics is to NOT FULLY VET the candidate

before sending him out to the stump with $200 million.

Check. :thumbsup:

[anamandujano]

47. You haven't been doing your homework but that's OK, the Pukes will

do it for you.

[Johnny__Motown]

48. No Need... Hillary is doing all the Repug work for them... Prof. Rove gives her an A+

[gal]

40. Or Peter Paul maybe?

[speedoo]

15. I don't believe he will.

1. He's much too smart. He knows her high negatives translate into a huge rethug turnout, which might be the only way The Dems can lose in 2008.

2. He's too principled. If he is able to reject his long time pastor as he did today, he can certainly reject Hillary, who has proved herself unworthy of any respect or deference.

[lisa58]

8. Didn't two separate people say it...

...one said it was someone "very high up" in the Clinton campaign and the other said Terry McAuliffe also said it would be over by June.

[Johnny__Motown]

12. Joe said.. someone very high up.. then they had a direct McAuliffe quote

Can't prove it was 2 seperate people. Maybe Joe was talking to Terry. He didn't give his source

[lisa58]

16. Thanks...

...I only heard and did not see the teevee at the time. I still thought it was really good news for Obama.

[anamandujano]

9. Obama is going to do the old Gary Hart, "Let's go home."

[GetTheRightVote]

10. Howard Dean stated that it would be over in June as well, I believe

that the party realizes what HRC is doing is harming the party and dividing it to the point that it will not be able to win the White House. Everyone knows that Obama is the nominee by the math and the truth is known to the party leaders.

[2rth2pwr]

14. There is more to come on Obama, starting with the video of his

"clinging" remarks in SF, then one last thing and boom, it's over in a heartbeat

and the party will rally around Hillary for victory in the fall.

[Johnny__Motown]

17. Keep dreaming.. the SD won't overturn the pledged delegate majority. She has lost

[BlueIdaho]

18. She is out of money.

Her campaign is a shambles and she is hearing privately from the SDs that its time to hang up those golden skates.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. No surprise that Joe Scumbag has inside information from the Clinton campaign

They are leaking him information. Clinton is not a true Democrat.

[tabasco]

20. Wait a minute. I thought she said it would be over by Feb. 5th?

:shrug:

[SoCalDem]

32. Mid June is the new Feb 5th

:)

New math..new calendar

[TragedyandHope]

21. Mind games

Nothing more.

[Tribetime]

22. I saw that earlier. Carney also said there was something up

I got the feeling something big was in the works. I took it as the supers breaking fast toward Obama since Shuster said 25-30 supers were poised to go to Obama if he wins N.C. big.

[goclark]

31. They always move the Bar, remember "blow out"

in PA and then it was "double digits" and now we are talking June and the best is -- don't believe her lips when they move.

[lisa58]

33. That is possible

[LakeSamish706]

23. Whatever the situation, if Hillary somehow manages to steal this nomination...

She will never, never win the GE... There will be so many outraged people that won't be voting for her.... (JMOOC) but I see this happening in huge numbers.

[anamandujano]

46. Obama has to earn the nomination. He has not been able to close the deal.

It's a testament to his rejection by the voters. Don't even think about all the money he has been throwing around. Can't buy a vote.

[MannyGoldstein]

24. ***** D U C K ! ! ! *****

Lest The Clinton's rocket-propelled goalpost smack you in the head!

[Yael]

34. Shit man -- you scared me.

I thought you were announcing sniper fire or flying bookbags or something.

[lisa58]

38. I should have read yours before I posted...

...I love the flying bookbag!

[Yael]

45. Yanno, that is never going to get old.

:D

[lisa58]

37. or Hillary's bookbag...

...I can't let go of that one!

[Johnny__Motown]

41. LOL, I almost forgot about that.

[global1]

25. *Co Will Have Attacked Iran By Then.......

the whole world will be in an uproar and the elections will be suspended and the present administration will see us through this crisis created by them to just this - continue their reign.

[Johnny__Motown]

26. By June?? I thought the next war wasn't penciled in 'till the kids go back to school

[MorningGlow]

35. Dean said it

Heard him on the radio the other day--said that they were going to settle the nomination by June so the party "would have time to heal" before the convention. So sayeth the DNC. Now, what it MEANS I can't tell you, but Dean also made reference to the delegate math and said that it would be nuts for the superdelegates to overturn the popular vote. Take it for what it's worth... :shrug:

[Johnny__Motown]

39. This is different... coming from inside the Clinton Campaign

[RB TexLa]

44. It means nothing, Howard Dean can't make a candidate stop running

he can't make delegates or superdelegates commit to vote for someone or declare who they are voting for. It's just hot air.

[JeanGrey]

36. She'll be gone, hopefully!!
