NBC's Mitchell: Clinton Campaign Acknowledges It's Over

[Life Long Dem]

There's no disagreement in the media that Clinton has no chance of winning this. She would have to get 90% plus in all the remaining states.

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell reported on MSNBC that Senator Clinton knows the race is over. "It's been apparent ever since North Carolina and Indiana did not go as she wanted them to go".

"She has changed her rhetoric and for the first time now her people, her closest aides ... are acknowledging she is not going to win this."

1. NOOOOOOOOoooo~!!!!!

:sarcasm:

[Raine1967]

2. It seems as tho Mitchell

has been saying this for days. The same thing.

I just do not get it. It feels a little like groundhog day.

[leftofcool]

3. Andrea? The Clinton hating Andrea Mitchell?

[DJ13]

10. No, the nearly in tears Mitchell when Clinton nearly lost Indiana

[jenmito]

15. I hope you're being sarcastic. She loves Hillary and does negative stories on Obama constantly.

[cali]

16. Sorry, it's hardly just Mitchell.

Seriously, how on earth do you see Hillary getting the nomination at this point? She's split from Oregon- isn't campaigning there at all over the next four days. She's fallen further behind in pledged delegates due to JE pledged delegates switching to Obama and to more PDs being added to Obama's tally in NC. Do you understand how unlikely it is that she'll get the nomination?

[leftofcool]

19. I think we will have to see

[cali]

21. If you can't see a route for her to the nomination, it's probably

not there.

[oldpol]

31. the consumate Washington Insider?

married to Alan Greenspan etc.

[Fox Mulder]

4. It's about damn time.

[oldpol]

5. does this mean the lady in the pantsuit is finally singing?

about a week and a half late, but welcome none the less!

[anonymous171]

6. Don't fall for it. Trying to rally the pity vote.

[Eurobabe]

22. Pity vote won't help at this point

I think the world knows it's over for Hillary. :shrug:

[Cha]

35. No, it won't help but that doesn't mean

hilary won't try it..their campaign hasn't been known for its brillance.

Their lying, pandering, smearing, twisting, inuendoes..Nope, no brilance.

[Cha]

34. I'm not ...they'll try anthing until the bitter

dead end.

[saracat]

7. BS. NOT what Hillary herself has said. And Andrea has no "named sources".

She has been claiming this mantra for weeks.

[Alexander]

46. Will you throw Hillary under the bus when she finally concedes and endorses Obama?

Just like you did with John Edwards?

[Major Hogwash]

50. Andrea is on the campaign trail with Hillary!!!!!!!

She has their ear and their trust.
And she has not been claiming this mantra for weeks.

[qijackie]

8. It isn't over until Clinton says its over.

[tridim]

13. Well that's certainly not true.

But you're welcome to believe that if you want.

[grytpype]

14. No, it's over even if Hillary says it isn't.

She can keep running, or fighting, or whatever it is she's doing, she's not going to get the nomination.

[Cha]

36. Yep, she's the decider..

the female one.

[grytpype]

9. Why are you telling Hillary to quit just because she's LOSING?????

????????

DO YOU HATE WOMEN THAT MUCH???????

[stevenleser]

24. You forgot the sarcasm tag.

I think? :shrug:

[niyad]

11. has Sen. Clinton said this?

[aaaaaa5a]

12. She Gave It Her Best Effort....

It's like the commentators on MSNBC said... (paraphrasing) "It's time for someone to go the mound and take the ball away from the pitcher!"

[oldpol]

18. Lou Pinella says 'gimmie the ball'

[Bolo Boffin]

17. Let's just call it one part of the Democratic Economc Stimulus Plan

and let Hillary stay in as long as she wants.

[indimuse]

20. more media love for Hillary!

more BS!




GAVE US BUSH!!!!

[RainDog]

23. so now Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are part of a vast media conspiracy?

that includes both left and right?

:rofl:

[Life Long Dem]

27. You need to add her closest aides ...

which are acknowledging she is not going to win this.

Just think, you'll be able to list even more people, once she admits what everyone else admits. :rofl:

[Occam Bandage]

29. So her own staffers are out to get her? And Stewart, Olbermann, Colbert, and Maher are

all part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy?


:rofl:

[cui bono]

30. LMAO!!! You posted that in all seriousness?

That is sad.

So the "good people" pics would include Mark Penn, Richard Mellon Scaife, Roger Ailes and the thugs who tried to bully Pelosi and the entire Democratic Party with their threatening letter?

That's rich.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Dollface]

25. I truly like Senator Clinton and hope that she will remain in the Senate for many more years.

I don't have to hate her just because I prefer another candidate. I think she is smart and tough and a great asset to the Democratic party.

[Cha]

37. That's nice you want her to stay in the Senate..

she's not in your State. I don't want a liar as my Senator anymore.. hilary showed her true colors in this Democratic Primary.

[Dollface]

54. That is true. I don't know what your alternative is but I wish you luck.

[Webster Green]

26. Their cheezy media player wouldn't work for me..

The Clinton's haven't changed their tune publicly though, that's for sure.

"On to Kentucky and The White House.....(Insert Dean type scream here!") :silly:

[cui bono]

28. Now can someone please tell Bill?

:mad:

[candice]

32. Mrs. Greenspan (R) has been misquoting Hill since the 1992 primary...

When Andrea caught up to Bill and Hillary in a cafe talking with voters during that primary, she asked Bill if having a wife who had her own career (worked at a law firm) might be a liability. Most politician's wives didn't work. Hillary drove herself to work every day.

Bill said, "Ask Hillary. She is sitting right behind me."

Hillary said that supposed she could have stayed home and given teas, but wanted to work toward helping women have options to work or not work at various times of their lives, as they saw fit.

Andrea took the first part of what Hillary said and smeared it around the corporate-consolidated media (which sold us Bu$h over Gore, over Kerry). I GUESS I COULD HAVE STAYED HOME AND HAD TEAS!!

This was just after Bill and Hillary were being hounded by the non-issue of Whitewater. McDougal didn't even have a savings and loan position when as a personal friend he asked the Clintons to buy some land with him. Hillary saw it as an investment for Chelsea's college fund. The New York Times broke the "story" and claimed it was a conflict of interest because McDougal was head of a Savings and Loan (when the article was written, but not when the Clintons gave him some money to invest).

Mrs. Andrea Mitchell Greenspan will be on the bandwagon for Maverick McCain soon!

[Major Hogwash]

52. Bullshit - Bush has been blaming Greenspan as an excuse for his failed econ. policy!

Greenspan would never have taken the Federal regulatory controls from off of the banking industry the way Bush did.
The housing slump was manufactured by the Bush administration and Greenspan never would have approved of bailing out mortgage companies the way Bush has done this year.

38. Well, it's pretty clear by now THE SYSTEM wants Obama...

... the MSM likes his story, his fuzzy 'hope and change' message that doesn't saddle the plebeians with too many brain-twisting specifics. They know that if he's in the race, that the GE against McCain will be much more 'competitive', and will make for a more interesting story.

And the fact that she works for General Electric, I'm guessing, comes into play as well. McCain, an angry old militaristic war-monger, of course wants to increase military spending in the face of all logic saying we should pursue other priorities. General Electric, one of the biggest defense contractors, is of course going to benefit from having a president like that. So, why bring in a solid candidate with policy know-how, when you can have the ambiguous and inexperienced young candidate, who certainly stands a better chance of losing.

It's just business for Mitchell. And if you don't believe that, think about who she's married to.

[anonymous171]

39. The system is what nominates candidates.

You know, democracy's a bitch, ain't it?

[avenger64]

42. You seemed to miss the broader picture I was referring to ..

... the system is the entire political system allied with the media - the ones that form most people's opinions for them, tells them what they want to wear, eat, drink, and buy, and who it's acceptable to vote for. The System I was referring to was not just the Democratic party.

[wileedog]

40. Which is why they ran Rev Wright 24/7 for weeks

Good call.

[avenger64]

41. They sure didn't run it before Super Tuesday.

And this all happened way before that - chew on that, Dick Tracy.

[wileedog]

47. Why would they run it at all?

The media easily could have brushed the whole thing aside in a day or two.

[Scurrilous]

43. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Zachstar]

45. Kick!

[Egalia]

44. Well if the Obama News Network says it's true ... n/t

[FrenchieCat]

48. You mean the "wright Channel" where pastorbating 24/7 is encouraged as

customary?

[Major Hogwash]

49. James Carville.

Somebody had better tell him. Call him at 3 AM.

LoL

[DesEtoiles]

[HamdenRice]

53. I hear there are pig farming opportunities in the countryside around Little Rock

Maybe she and Bill could buy a contract pig farm from Tyson, construct a pig refuse slurry pit, and retire.

Maybe she, Bill, W and Laura could compare notes on slurry pit management.

Because a lot of us Democrats are tired of them, and this would be an appropriate retirement venture for them.
