Macaca concession speech on CSPAN2

[WildEyedLiberal]

Starting anytime now...

[TayTay]

1. This I must see.

I simply must.

OMFG WE got the SEnate. I can't believe it! Pinch me. (Ouch, not so hard!!!)

[WildEyedLiberal]

2. Oh Christ he wasted no time in busting out the football

:puke:

[ginnyinWI]

20. oh that was the best part!

Webb triumphantly holds up his son's combat boots--so full of meaning, so full of real courage. Then Lame-o pulls out a damn football and shows his version of manliness! Too funny! And a symbol of exactly where we are now--who the repubs are and who the Dems are!

[TayTay]

3. I think he either threw a football or his brain

out at the crowd. Gawd.

[TayTay]

4. I am a tree and speak for the trees

On no, he's the lorax!

HE CONCEDED! HE CONCEDED! HE CONCEDED!

No more Barfbag. The Big Bag of Beef from Virginia is gone. No more bullying in the Senate chamber. No more, "I'll know his teeth in" discussions.

Thank you God for letting me live this long.

[WildEyedLiberal]

5. Being a good Roman and falling on his sword

Well at least he's consistent, since he was so adamantly against the Gore recount in 2000.

[TayTay]

7. Oh sure, now you're gracious

Where was this graciousness during the six years in the Senate?

Ah, we WON. WE CONTROL THE US SENATE.

I got the vapors bigtime now.

Hello, Chairman Kerry.

[WildEyedLiberal]

9. I wonder how much he likes that taste of crow?

This really is a dream come true. George Felix Macaca Barfbag Allen's political career is DOA.

[fedupinBushcountry]

12. Because he knows

there is no way he will come out on top. As of this minute Webb is 9,023 votes ahead. Thanks much to your Senator. :party: :toast:

[fedupinBushcountry]

6. Pinch me

please tell me I am not dreaming and I really have a voice again in Virginia. :woohoo:

[TayTay]

10. Dance with me!!!!!!!!!!

I love you VA and PA people. You rock. I would offer you my first-born child in gratitude, but I wouldn't take her if I were you. (She costs a fortune in organic foods.)

I love you guys.

Thank you very much,
Thank you very much,
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me!

[fedupinBushcountry]

13. You know what means even more

although Webb lost in red Virginia Beach our votes helped put him over the top. Every vote counts.

[WildEyedLiberal]

8. "More creative energy independence"???

:rofl:

[Firespirit]

11. "Education matters"

Hey Macaca -- here's one final FUCK YOU for that!

[Firespirit]

14. Guys...

That wasn't just a concession speech.

This delusional man still wants to throw his hat in the ring for 2008. That speech had the earmarks of it. And I think he will do it.

If people like Allen (who would be finished within two months after declaring candidacy) and Vilsack (who polls a distant fourth in his home state and early primary state of Iowa) can harbor ideas of running for President, John Kerry is very much a credible candidate. Without a doubt.

15. Hey Fire,

what do you think of this?

16. Hmm...

Here are my first, gut-level impressions.

1. Vilsack will get a minor, temporary "buzz bump" in Iowa. He will probably peak in his state around 8%, and I'm being generous. This peak is likely to occur early, as well, and will disappear once other candidates declare.

2. I agree, it doesn't benefit Edwards. However, in my judgment, Edwards has seriously miscalculated this year anyway. He has raised no money for himself and has given away no money to anyone else. He just appeared at campaign appearances.

3. I think that Clinton would choose someone like Bayh for the other slot. Unless there is some sort of personal history I'm not aware of, I don't know why Vilsack would be chosen.

4. Zero net effect on Kerry. According to the before-and-after poll comparisons, the flap has not lost existing support for Kerry in early primary states. That poll someone posted above in the thread shows that Kerry apparently has pulled ahead of Edwards. Kerry needs to get out there and interact with these people, and they'll see who he really is.

5. Unless I am mistaken in my information, Iowa Governor-elect Chet Culver is a friend of Kerry's.

6. New Hampshire is lookin' good for him. The state party leader loves JK and defended him during the joke flap.


I really think that the Vilsack announcement is a wash for JK, possibly a short-term negative for others, and irrelevant in the long run.

17. Thanks for posting thisThis is really good news

and far more optimistic than the CW. It's also true that the reasons he was good before this blownup nonsense are still there.

I also think if Hillary blows off Iowa and counts on NH her willingness to pile on Kerry will hurt even if he opts not to run. It seems that NH is fond of Kerry. The question they had was if he could win. That may not make them too happy with Hillary.

[Noisy Democrat]

19. Where have people seen poll numbers on Kerry support?

I'm dying to see but I've missed it.

18. Haha!
