MSNBC: Fineman just said Hillary would not attack McCain. Speech will be about her historic run.

[flpoljunkie]

Say it ain't so!

[anonymous171]

1. Fuck, so 2012 it is then.

Shit. :(

[justiceischeap]

2. According to the MSNBC ticker

The Obama campaign has seen her speech and are "very pleased" with it. So I can't imagine that it's not on topic.

[flpoljunkie]

27. Let's hope Fineman is 'talking out of his ass' on this.

[justiceischeap]

36. Let's keep in mind

What Obama really needs and wants HRC right now is for her to push her supporters to his side. That's 18 million votes that can't hurt come November. There's plenty of time between now and then to bash McPOW. HRC needs to use tonight to help heal this much touted "fracture" within the party. If she's able to unify hers and his, then she'll have done her job tonight.

[Kahuna]

49. Yeah... I guess you have a point.

I said begrudgingly.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. and he knows this .... how?

[MH1]

4. I really, really hope Fineman is wrong.

Now I'll go back to biting my tongue until November. But damn if the worst happens, I'm gonna have some stuff to say.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

5. Please, no....she already gave that speech FFS.

[Cha]

6. Whatever..everyone else is doing a stellar job

attacking mccain!

[BeyondGeography]

16. But hers is the only speech that will be shown and covered

I'm on C-Span, too, and I agree the speeches have been sharp tonight. Meantime, every time I check to see what the cable news channels are doing, they're yammering about nothing.

[Cha]

35. I know..she should do it but

we'll just have to see what happens.

[BeyondGeography]

7. And the Obama campaign is pleased?

Bullshit. Howard's been wrong before. If he's right this time, our guys need to be checked out by physicians to see what happened to their gonads.

[LSparkle]

8. How can Axelrod be HAPPY with that speech, then?

Keith said that Axelrod wasn't worried about
the lack of attacks on BombBomb and when asked
about that, he just laughed and said, "You
haven't seen tonight's speech."

[ClarkUSA]

18. What's he supposed to say?

Sigh.

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. it ain't so! n/t

[DCBob]

10. Axelrod has seen the speech and is very pleased with it..

MSM media is hyping this to keep eyeballs.

[Cha]

41. Really DC? I so hope so..

'cause damnit that would be good strategy when you're trying to win against mccain and his, the corporate media.

Mayor of Fairbanks, Jim Whitaker(R) just endorsed Obama!! :patriot: :bounce: :party:

[JerseygirlCT]

56. That would be good news. nt

[GCP]

11. I don't believe it

Fineman is usually wrong

[optimisticin08]

12. Clinton and McCain are good friends

Thats what i keep hearing on MSNBC.

[book_worm]

13. Let's wait and see.

[Maven]

19. Thanks ronny.

This shit is working my last nerve.

[NatBurner]

34. lol i'm mad that i 'get' that

i'm getting fucking old

[Captain Hilts]

42. Count Mookie in on that praise.

ER: Yeah, what Mook says!

[shaniqua6392]

21. Excellent response.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Like we would believe Fineman?

[rockymountaindem]

23. What are they going to say?

"We don't approve and we think she's really hurting us"? Even if that's what they thought, they can't say it.

[Maven]

25. OH MY GOD.

I'm convinced. It's a fucking ILLNESS. Go eat some raw meat to stave off your appetite, and then you can rip her to shreds when she comes on at 10:30.

[rockymountaindem]

33. What?

I'm just saying that if they *were* to be dissatisfied they couldn't say so, so simply stating that the Obama campaign says they're happy isn't proof of anything.

I think it'll be a fine, unifying speech. I hope she attacks McCain, and I'll be a little let down if she doesn't, but I don't think she's going to hurt Obama at all. I'm not "one of them".

[Catherine Vincent]

28. LOL!

Amen, brother! :thumbsup:

[Barack_America]

15. Pffffft...

That's the sound of the wind leaving my sails.

:(

[AlCzervik]

20. How about we all wait to actually hear the speech?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

26. What a radical concept!

[ronnykmarshall]

45. Naaaw!

For all of the "I hate the MSM" talk ... when it comes to gossip this place is like a bunch of Rona Barrett fans!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

50. Rona! What happened to her?

[ronnykmarshall]

53. She's still around.

For my 6th grade grad ... my mom got me a subscription to her mags.

[undeterred]

22. So what else is on?

[muffin1]

24. Fineman has been

talking shit about Hillary for months. Dismiss him.

[greguganus]

29. Wonder what Chelsea will talk about? n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

47. I think she will introduce her mom. Or narrate for a video just before Hillary speaks.

Or something like that.

[Undercurrent]

30. Axelrod has seen the speech.

Fineman has seen nothing, so he spews nonsense.

We'll all know soon enough.

[Captain Hilts]

31. He's hated the Clintons since Day One. nt

[endthewar]

32. He's wrong

Axelrod has seen the speech and is happy with it.

[ErinBerin84]

37. Fineman knows nothing. He is constantly wrong about these things.

Her former press secretary said that she would attack Mccain, but it would be a statesman like tone instead of an angry tone, like "I'm friends with him, but we disagree..." I think that Biden, as a friend of McCain's, have struck the right chord with how to do this approach correctly.

[Raine]

38. Figures...It's ALL about the Clinton's...

ALWAYS has been, ALWAYS will be x( and anyway it's what goes on behind the scenes that matter. The Clinton's can fall all over themselves supporting Obama in their speeches but what they do beyond that is what matters. Bill is the one I worry about most, he can't control his mouth or his bitterness.

[AlCzervik]

40. Don't just assume Howard is correct, you don't think he likes to stir the shit? Can you

at least wait to hear from the Senator herself first?

[ronnykmarshall]

43. Well we know all about when one ASSUMES?

They make an ASS out of U and ME.

But in this case it's just make an ASS out of themselves.

[Raine]

44. I edited my post

my real concern is Bill and what is going on behind the scenes. I think in her speech Hillary will do what she needs to, it's what goes on besides that that's the real concern.

[leftynyc]

73. How stupid do you feel this morning?

Do try not to lap up the MSM slop quite so eagerly.

[Raine]

74. Gee I feel real stupid

does that make you feel better because it makes you so much more superior. :sarcasm:

[bluestateguy]

39. You know, I'm going to watch the speech myself and make my own decision

I don't need Howard Fineman to think for me.

[Yes We Did]

46. THANK YOU!!!

damned sheep... baahhhh... baahhhh... those bahhhh-stards!

[Kahuna]

48. Yep. That's what I figured.. Her speech would be about herself. Typical.

:eyes:

[Skip Intro]

51. Do you believe everything anybody tells ya?

I mean, come on.

[ecstatic]

52. Hopefully he's wrong. I'll wait before I pounce nt

[Zhade]

54. Not that historic. She's not the first woman to have her name placed in the nomination (and lose).

How ironic that on the night of her speech, there actually were snipers around, unlike Tuzla!

:p

[JerseygirlCT]

55. Enough about her already.

You know, maybe she and McCain ought to meet for lunch. She can talk about how mean everyone's been to her - and he can just keep mumbling POW stories.

So long as the rest of us don't need to listen anymore.

[goldcanyonaz]

72. *yawn*

[sfam]

57. Didn't she do the whole "historic campaign" thing earlier?

Yeah, I really get that she will touch on this again, but jeeze. What we need is a reprise of her "historic campaign", but this time focused on McCain!

[Honeycombe8]

58. I hope not, or I'll have to switch the channel and watch something else. nt

[Hippo_Tron]

59. I'll be a good bit of change that she does both in her speech

[TheKentuckian]

60. Pre-bitching is lame

you'll see for yourself directly and then you can much more sensibly praise or complain.

[Hippo_Tron]

61. Agreed, also my post's meaning was distorted via typo

I meant to say "I'll bet a good bit of change that she will do both" meaning that I think it's going to be a good speech and do what it needs to do.

[Catherine Vincent]

62. LOL. Pre-bitching!

I like that! :rofl:

[my3boyz]

63. I keep telling you she would not attack McCain. She wants him to win.

She wants to be the nominee next time around. Too bad Bill did not tell her that if she contributes to Obama losing then she will never be the nominee of the party. She would be lucky to keep her senate seat.

[hell-bent]

75. You must be brain dead!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

64. Dumbass Fineman.

[neverforget]

65. Fineman = EPIC FAIL. Where did he get that info? Out of his ass?

[Arkansas Granny]

66. It ain't so! She's great tonight.

[tedoll78]

67. Let this be a lesson about the mainstream media:

NEVER, EVER let the mainstream media bait you into attacking a fellow Democrat ever again. Too often, we take the bait, fall into the trap, and waste energy fighting amongst ourselves, tearing each other down.

Thank you, Hillary!
Now, let's go turn that map deep blue! Let's send McCain home with his tail tucked twixt his legs! :bounce: :party:

[PBS Poll-435]

68. ROFL

OOPS, Howard Done Fucked Up...

[Renew Deal]

69. It aint so.

[FVZA_Colonel]

70. Yeah, she mentioned her run, but guess what?

She tied it into the larger theme (the need to elect Obama and Biden), and made everything work.

[flpoljunkie]

71. Hillary did what she needed to do last night. Let's hope her reluctant supporters follow her lead.
