[medeak]

in Reno (receiving vid via blackberry) Thrashing the repukes!.. What a concept eh DU?

[babylonsister]

1. Was it anything like this 'concept'?

[medeak]

3. not at all!!!! and that was old news

(read a few days ago)

Hopefully he's seeing the light at NV state convention...rumored that Edwards may show up as well. YAY!

[babylonsister]

7. Old news, from yesterday? This is a pattern developing.

Here's the incident you might remember-it's a day older:

Sorry, but the big dawg needs to go lay down.

[dchill]

19. Plus, I thought Bill was in Oregon today.

Or was it Kentucky? I don't know, but I do know he's not been talking UNITY lately.
:shrug:

[Honeycombe8]

2. Did he mention that Jesse Jackson had won S.Carolina twice? Or that he might...

sue the state of Nevada for holding those caucuses in the gambling casinos? (Oh, that's right...he dropped that threat, when Hillary won those caucuses.)

Did he mention at all that his opponent is talking about fairy tale stuff? Did he mention that Hillary has the hard working white working class vote? Did he mention that only Hillary and McCain are qualified to be President?

He didn't? Gee, I wonder why? I mean, the Clinton campaign has said these things in the recent past. Why stop now?

[medeak]

4. Hopefully wind of change and change of wind here!

;-) Am not a Hillary supporter btw...but tired of the sick verbiage on here.

[rodeodance]

5. Jesse issued a statement saying nothing wrong with Bill C. comment but you have to lie!!

[chascarrillo]

8. It's lying to have a differing opinion?

Huh.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

13. Did you forget who you were responding to?

Let me help you...

******** You sheepie keepin yuor head in sanD makes you FLameing bait!************************

[rodeodance]

23. Jesse was clear in his statement that he saw nothing wrong. but you push the lie that Bill

C. was racist.

[chascarrillo]

25. I'm allowed to have a different opinion than Jesse Jackson. Thanks.

[Honeycombe8]

10. It's not a lie. We all saw and heard him on TV say that, "Jesse Jackson won S. Carolina twice."

In response to a question about Obama winning S. Carolina. Instead of doing the right thing and saying, well, he ran a good race there, but now there's a new state up at bat. No, he chose to go down the small path.

Doesn't matter what Jackson thinks about the statement, BTW. That wasn't my point. My point was...prior non-unity statements by the Clintons. Don't ask the public to believe that they have suddenly become a unifying force.

[rodeodance]

24. So, was bill wrong to say Jesse won twice? And it does matter what Jesse said. But not to

folks like you who only want to tag the race card on the Clintons

[Beacool]

20. And...........

are any of his assertions incorrect?????

:eyes:

[DAGDA56]

6. I hope you're right about the unity part...interesting that the speech is being given

in a state no longer being contested.

[medeak]

9. only one delegate between Obama and Hill

plus..NV is said to be crucial in Fall.

thank you for something positive and not negative!

[DAGDA56]

14. Sorry, I should have said no longer being contested in the primaries...definately in play in the GE.

[medeak]

16. Edwards may show as well! (State convention) n/t

[Life Long Dem]

11. Unity with who?

Because it sure as hell isn't with the perceived nominated candidate.

[medeak]

15. Obama supporter here and proud of the Big Dawg

It's been sorely needed. Most rabid Obama supporters are texting me right now from convention how great it is. This is what we need!

[grantcart]

12. yup he has a switch for it

[medeak]

17. Clinton's words:

"What I want you to do is stand up and have your arguments. Stand up and have your differences and if you’re for Hillary, that would tickle me. If you're for Obama stand up for him," he said.

[medeak]

18. TWO STANDING OVATIONS!

FROM EVERYONE! Obama supporters and Hillary's...

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Edit.

...I'll check out what he has to say, but I'm not going to hold my breath for some great Clintonite unity while his wife and her supporters are lying about "winning in the popular vote" and blathering on about "maps not math".

[medeak]

22. Obama delegates are so happy!

still receiving many texts saying they can't wait to email how wonderful it was.

Hopefully every state convention (think NV is one of first?) will come away feeling the same.

[chieftain]

26. I have no doubt that the Clintons will support Obama with

enthusiasm. The notion that they will try to sabotage the ticket is more a reflection of how Chris Mathews would act in this situation, not Hillary and Bill.

[MindMatter]

28. It is also a reflection that

they didn't do much to help Gore or Kerry.

Maybe they weren't asked. I don't know. But that is the perception.

[mzmolly]

27. I've always felt that the Clintons would be Obama's most important supporters/campaigners

in the event Hillary lost.
