Superdelegates surge to Obama (Updated to : Obama Clinches Dem Nomination)

[Lauri]

hilarious.  the AP runs with a story saying that she will concede tonight.  then her campaign sends out a flood of emails saying that the story is inaccurate. then, superdelegates start moving en masse to obama, followed shortly by another story from the AP saying she will concede (again).

I suspect that someone senior in the dem party called her this afternoon, and told her that she could do this the easy way, or she could do this the hard way.

yeah, this tennis match today is getting a bit tedious.

where is Bill Clinton with his political genius when you need him?

and still, dont give up Hil! dont let that black man bully you!

this will probably turn out to be a case of "clintonspeak".  tonight she will concede that obama has enough
delegates to win the nomination, but won't concede the race, or suspend her campaign.

a non-concession concession speech.

Agreed.  Her campaign is still going on about how the SD don't techinally vote until the convention and they could still change their minds.     I believe that any changes in SD has been from Hillary to Obama so far.  (I could be wrong, there could be one or two that went from Obama to her)

I can't see her completely conceeding yet. If there is a lawsuit option open to her, then she's going to take it. The phrase "bowing out gracefully" is foreign to the Clinton family.

Agreed.  I think the only reason there wasn't a massive slide of SD to Obama before, was they were giving her a chance to do just that, bow out gracefully, she hasn't so they're going to stomp The Clintons down.


WE, you want to see a nasty Hillary Forum go to http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/  That's a nasty piece of work, I'm sure there are many a heads exploding today.

I'd do it the hard way, but that's just me. Crying shame given his affilitations with anti-American, pro Maraxist racists and terrorists that he is the best the DEmocratic party has to offer and they have overlooked every single solitary one of his indiscretions. Run Independently Hillary!

Am I the only one who is sad about this?

I was hoping the battle would go on for three months yet.

It's been a good show.

Now all there's to look forward to, is watching and waiting for Barry "Goldwater" Obama to self-destruct, as he inevitably must, and that isn't quite the same thing as this now-over battle between an Irresistable Object and an Immoveable Force.

I am very sad this is over.

It might not be over.  Until mrs. clinton formally concedes, it ain't over. she may very well think she can twist some arms still.

its not over. Hilary has recently said she didnt find it fair what was decided this past Saturday. Not that the news media was trumpeting that anywhere.

until we hear from Hilary's own mouth, dont count her out. she is, at this very moment, scurrying to and fro... trying to find anything else in her arsenal.

do not underestimate her... have hope!

they are going to have to beat that concession speech out of her with a boat oar.

Remember...they had to take Al Gore down with an elephant dart, practically, and he isn't 1/8 the man Hillary Clinton is.

He just picked up Carter's endorsement and I found this.

Another lie straight from the horse's mouth.
