She's not quitting
2008-06-04
Jim Geraghty, "Campaign Spot" @ National Review. liveblogging Hillary's speech last night

She's not done yet, but so far... Hillary's not conceding anything. She just made a reference to "count every vote," which would suggest she's not at peace with the DNC decision on Michigan and Florida.

Fighting on to the convention?

UPDATE: She tells the tale of a woman who arrived at an event hours early to give her a rosary. Translation: "I can appeal to Catholics, while Father Michael Pfleger's buddy can't."

"I make no decisions tonight." She wants people to visit her web site and help her decide what to do next.

Can you see what's next? "I wanted to concede, but my supporters didn't want me to."

A later update:

A Unity Ticket May Not Be All That Unifying

From a reader:

I am a Democrat. If he can't stand up to her and caves the VP slot to her, I vote McCain. This is his first real test. I can't believe the Clintons. Such a despicable family the country have never known.

It sounds like Obama kept all of the praise for Hillary in the speech, even though she threw down the gauntlet in hers. She basically said that his verbal commitments from the superdelegates, along with two bucks, will get him a cup of coffee at Starbucks. She bragged that she had more votes, reminded everyone that she carried the swing states, jabbed at the Michigan and Florida decision, and invited her supporters to give her an excuse to remain in the race...

#8  SAME > BREAKING - looks like HILLARY may only SUSPEND her campaign after this Friday, Reportedly still intends to keep her delegates and other open option.

OLMERT was on FOX NEWS [AIPAC Confab] stating emphatically that ISRAEL WILL NOT - READ HIS LIPS, N-O-T - ACCEPT OR TOLERATE AN ISLAMIST IRAN WID A NUCLEAR BOMB, AND IHO NEITHER SHOULD THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Besides the NUCLEARIZATION OF IRAN + RADICAL ISLAMISM-TERROR, etal. looks like POTUS OBAMA? or POTUS MCCAIN will also have a pending ISRAELI-IRANIAN/ISLAMIST CONFLICT [Limited Nuclear?] on their radar 2008 NLT 2010.

* OTOH, FOX NEWS > TAMMY BRUCE - wasn't impressed wid MCAIN's speech vv Obama last nite.

#7  DRUDGE/FREEREPUBLIC > HILLARY planning to concede this Friday???

FOX NEWS AM + MSNBC > OBAMA's biggest single problem wid US Voters is that HE IS TOO INEXPERIENCED = TOO MUCH A "GREEN-/CREAMPUFF" POLITICALLY, AND ALL OF THE NON-FEMME POSSIB DEM MALE CANDIDATES FOR VEEP, EVEN YOUNG ONES, ARE NOT = HAVE STRONGER/BETTER POL RECORDS THAN BARACK DOES.

In any case, THE NUCLEARIZATION OF IRAN + RADICAL ISLAM-TERROR [Preemptive/Limited First Strike level] WILL LIKELY OCCUR DURING THE TENURE OF DUBYA'S SUCCESSOR [2008-2012].

*FREEREPUBLIC/YAHOO NEWS > AL QAEDA No.2 CALLS FOR HOLY WAR TO BREAK GAZA SIEGE. Message includes demands for EGYPT to allow Islamist fighters to enter Gaza [IMPLIED "OR ELSE"!] and liberate Pales. lands. IMO, ZAWI IS INDIR/COVERTLY WARNING EGYPT TO COMPLY OR FACE ISLAMIST INSURGENT MILACTIONS???

#6  I hope someone remembers that when this started, there were good, decent, & capable men in the running for the Dems; how did the Dems end up with two flawed candidates? Ignorance and black radicalism vs. Lady McBeth and Chinese "paid for by China" money.

#4  Hildebeast doesn't want to be VP.

That's why BO would have to spend all of his time watching his back. He'd be a fool to put himself in that position.

#3  Hildebeast doesn't want to be VP.

She wants to be Prez.

Notice all this talk about her being VP comes from everyone but her. She doesn't want it.

#2  Dang, that woman won't listen to anyone.
She thinks if she stinks up the joint in Denver, BO will put her on the ticket.
Talk about a deathwish!!!
Putting her as the VP candidate is the worst choice since McGovern put the Bi Polar Senator as his choice for VEEP.
I won't even talk about that cypher that George H W Bush had as a VP...he could have had Elizabeth Freaking Dole as a VP and that would have guaranteed him eight years and no Slick Willie...
Dang with Liz Dole as VP, I would have been out of a job a long time ago.
Boy Howdy, this talking head game is fun.
I wonder if BO needs a chief of staff? I have a resume around here somewhere.........NAW, McCain wouldn't hire me as his boot black much less a member of his staff.
Dang
