Todd says Bill's "people" are concerned he might get booed tonight

[BeyondGeography]

No way.

[jakem]

1. i think we are finally past that.

[beachmom]

2. He will not get booed for no reason. Now if he said something foolish,

well all bets are off. But I am hoping he captures a bit of his old self and magical charm, and does a really good job tonight.

[ericgtr]

3. Would that surpise you, really?

He's done nothing in this election cycle but cost Obama support while keeping the disunity alive.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Obama won...why bother?

His supporters will show proper respect, and Bill won't do anything to se them off.

[LibraLiz1973]

10. I think other people (get your mirror!) have kept the "disunity" alive.

Much of this election cycle has been dominated by Debbie Downers & Negative Nellie's who
don't really GIVE A SHIT about UNITY. They SAY they do, but actions speak louder than words.

[niceypoo]

27. Bigotry does that to people

It becomes their 'binky'

[EFerrari]

34. You sure love to sling that word around. Sort of like, your binky.

[ericgtr]

^ You just made your own case

Nice work

[LibraLiz1973]

12. Anyone who would be low enough to boo

Gets what they deserve with 4 years of McCain.
The press would GOBBLE that shit up & turn this into a DFP in 2 seconds.
If you think for ONE second they would not use that against us,
your crazy.

[TheDebbieDee]

13. You're not supporting unity by continuing to spout this, "The Clintons

have cost Obama support!" meme. That's how political campaigns are run. Let it go!

Give up your hate! We're one party now.

[Saturday]

What a stupid thing to say. nt

[StevieM]

54. Nope. That's historically innacurate IMO. I have never been more proud of him (eom)

[Egnever]

4. If he talks smack he will

if he does the right thing he will get cheered loudly.

[rufus dog]

5. Not a chance

Just trying to create an issue for ratings.

[elizm]

6. What time is Bill supposed to speak? nt

[BeyondGeography]

8. 7 p.m. EDT

[LibraLiz1973]

9. If they boo, he should turn around and leave

I don't believe for a second that he really fears that, or that it will happen.
But if people are rude enough (and dumb enough) to boo, he should roll out.

[SeattleGirl]

11. I don't think it'll happen.

If anyone does boo, the people around them should immediately shut them up.

[LibraLiz1973]

15. Mace? Pepper Spray? Stomp on their feet?

lol


I don't think it will happen either.
But the press has something invested in SPECULATING that it MIGHT.

Ratings and all that jazz.

[SeattleGirl]

26. Nah, that's how the cops and Republicans do it.

:P

[LibraLiz1973]

29. We can't party like assholes too?

:rofl:

[truthN08]

20. I don't know why anyone

would boo Bill Clinton. I mean he has pissed me off through the primary but still. He doesn't deserve to be boo'd for any reason. I don't think anyone will do that. I mean Chimpy should be stoned but people won't do that to him and he's caused thousands of people there lives and millions of others there lively hood. Bill Clinton and a few choice words during a heated primary pale in comparison.

[Barack_America]

14. That's entirely up to him.

And what he decides to say.

He has the same chance of getting booed as he walks away as anyone.

[LibraLiz1973]

17. They did not speculate that he would get booed walking away

They speculated that he would be booed WALKING TO THE PODIUM.

[Barack_America]

24. I call bullshit on that.

Not going to happen. Needless drama.

[LibraLiz1973]

28. I totally agree

[no_hypocrisy]

16. Only if there are republican plants in the audience, posing as PUMA's.

[LibraLiz1973]

19. ROCK ON- you could not be more on the money

If we hear any boo's, we know where the freepers are tonight!

[C_U_L8R]

18. Bill only needs to come out and pulverize McPhony

and the crowd will go nuts and adore him for it.

[Renew Deal]

21. Is he planning on saying Obama was a mistake?

Then yes, he will get booed. Otherwise, he'll have a good night.

[NashVegas]

22. Who's Todd? I Don't Know Any Todd

[LibraLiz1973]

30. Chuck Todd. Or, CHUCKY T, as Scarborough calls him

[LisaM]

23. In other words, Chuck Todd hopes

that Bill gets booed tonight.

Sorry, smug man. Ain't gonna happen.

[LibraLiz1973]

32. You could tell he was hoping when he said he was "worried"

Keith looked like he was wondering if Chuck took crazy pills with lunch.

[Cha]

25. Why would he think

that?

[Median Democrat]

31. Bill Has An Easy Task - Say Obama Is Ready Or Qualified - That's It

He says those three words, the speech is a success. If Bill says anything else, Big Media will dwell on his prior comments criticizing Obama. Bill knows this. He is a political junkie. The ball is in Bill's court.

[emulatorloo]

33. Sounds like Chuck Todd is trying to DRIVE UP RATINGS. I say, OH BOY!!! more eyes on the convention

Which is a good thing -- the more eyes and ears on tonight, the more people will hear what I expect will be a barnburner. Hopefully they will then stay tuned for JOE!!!!!

[EFerrari]

36. I'm really looking forward to hearing Joe speak in this venue.

:)

[mmonk]

35. Highly unlikely.

[undeterred]

37. Bill has "people"?

What is he running for?

[ulysses]

38. doubt he'll be booed, unless he pulls some stupid shit.

Which he might.

[snooper2]

39. Stupid shit like

"Well folks, you know I was pulling for somebody different, somebody I know very well who would have made a MUCH BETTER President"

[ulysses]

40. along that theme, yes.

[progressivebydesign]

44. Yeah.. those leaders of the free world and best president ever are real losers..

The audacity of Obama supporters just blows me away sometimes. I support Obama, but it's like so many of his fans are so out of touch with reality.

Yeah.. I think Clinton will "pull some stupid shit", were you even of voting age when he was president? Do you have a clue of why he is the most popular president around the world, and at home?

[Shakespeare]

48. You really have no idea who you're talking to, do you?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Big :hi: to Uly.

[ulysses]

56. :)

:hi:, Shakes!

[ulysses]

55. "best president ever"?

No. And yes, I'm 39 and so was of voting age when BC was in office. Voted for him happily in 1992, decided to vote for Nader in 96 after welfare got "reformed".

He's popular, sure. Best ever? No.

[Phx_Dem]

41. What a bunch of bullshit.

There will be no booing, unless Big Dog says something completely inappropriate, in which case, he will have earned it. But the chances of that happening are slim to none.

Frankly, I am not expecting a rousing endorsement of Obama. I think Bill has already shown his limitations in that area. He can't even be bothered to stick around for the most historic Presidential nomination in the history of our country, and by his own party on Thursday night. He'll probably just stick to his favorite subject -- himself.

[Phx_Dem]

67. Okay, I was wrong. That was a ringing endorsement.

And very unexpected, from me. Thank you, Bill. I hope you will continue down this path of statemanship and party support. You wear it very well.

[Virginia Dare]

42. He won't unless he says something to deserve it..

which I don't think he will.

[spanone]

43. todd don't like the clintons

[Arkana]

45. I went back and read some of Bill's book

and it helped me to like him again...I found it really hard to dislike Bill during the primaries because I really respected and admired him--and tirelessly defended him against my right-winger friends.

Please, Bill, come home.

[bigwillq]

46. Democrats still love the Big Dawg!

Not all, and some were disappointed by his behavior during the primaries, but, for the most part, Democrats still have a lot of love for Bill Clinton and Hillary, too. I don't think he will be booed. I think he will be warmly received.

[JVS]

47. Does he plan on saying anything controversial?

[polichick]

49. Can't see that happening.

[shaniqua6392]

50. Just like they were concerned that Hillary would not give a good speech.

All the naysayers can go to hell because the Clinton's put the Democratic Party first. They have done everything that has been asked of them. Todd Tude needs to shut up with his unsubstantiated rumors and the media's attempt at dividing us. We are united and we are going to win despite the corporate media!!

[CoffeeCat]

51. Wow, that signals to me...

...that Bill Clinton is extremely emotional and hurt about
what happened during the primary.

That's unfortunate because it's not personal.

I hope tonight he experiences an overwhelming, warm reception--complete with
thunderous applause and many standing ovations.

I hope he soaks up the positive feelings that Democrats have for him, and that
his speech is a healing, positive experience for him.

We love you Mr. President--from an Obama supporter.

[trayfoot]

52. There better not be!

Too many dems seem to forget the 8 great years we had under President Clinton! That seems totally disrespectful to me.

[TexasObserver]

53. Bill Clinton will get a warm and sustained welcome. He'll be fine.

If Bill would stop worrying and return to the charm that made so many voters fall for him, he would be just fine.

[polichick]

57. Guess he didn't have to worry about being booed!!! :)

[Cha]

58. Well, that's not

happening..catch out the applause gone wild:bounce:

[Fleshdancer]

59. obviously Bill's concerned "people" are idiots

Bill can't get them to stop applauding! :D

[nadinbrzezinski]

60. I wonder if bill O Lellly is eating crow right now

[BeyondGeography]

61. LOL...and the crowd goes wild

[Raine]

62. That's RIDICULOUS

our last Democratic President (wtf) WHY the hell would any Democrat boo him! :argh:

[marlakay]

63. no way...both sides are really really trying

you can tell...for the sake of the country. for us dems that is a break through.

[GoesTo11]

64. It was close, but sounded like a cheer to me.

[Cush]

65. wow, listen to all those boos!

:eyes:

[LSK]

66. WRONG AGAIN!!!!!!

:rofl:
