Oh gawwwwwwwwd ... Clinton speech ...

[cool user name]

Yuck.

Go away, we have actual tight races to watch.

[Clark2008]

1. I don't hate Hillary, but her flat voice is grating. Sorry, Hillary fans.

[Radio_Lady]

10. Sorry, Clark2008. She has a beautiful voice, no accent, but most important,

she expresses some good ideas tonight.

[AZBlue]

23. Some GREAT ideas!

I like her even more after that speech!! :-)

[Clark2008]

25. You didn't hear her accent?

I did - and I was a Communications major, too.

It was F L A T - flat "a's" flat vowels, in general.

It's NOT a beautiful voice to those outside the Beltway.

[txindy]

37. I'm with you. n/t

[fujiyama]

38. I'm with you completely

I couldn't listen to her.

[Radio_Lady]

39. Give me a break! I have been a radio host and announcer for years and have listened to

all kinds of voices. What are your credentials?

If she has any accent, it might be midwestern. She was raised in Illinois, I believe. Her accent is perfectly acceptable at the top radio stations and has nothing to do with the Beltway!

I have no idea why you are pushing this agenda tonight.

Good night and good luck.

[Bluebear]

2. "The American people have said 'Not so fast' to Republicans tonight"

It's a good speech. UNITY tonight.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

4. Well, I like Hillary, she is speaking truth and standing tall.

If you don't like her turn the channel, she won and she has every right to make her victory speech.

Go Hillary Go.

[Bluebear]

9. Huh???

[Catherine Vincent]

19. I don't think the poster meant to say that to you, bluebear.

Probably to the one that was talking about her voice. :hi:

[Bluebear]

22. Ah. Hi cat - tense night huh!

:hi:

[Democrat 4 Ever]

29. No, sorry, I was addressing the OP n/t

[Bluebear]

35. No prob D4E, cheers!

[Alamom]

20. Yes she does and it was a great one. Good to see Bill, too.n/t

[Maven]

3. I know. Move back toward the "vital center?"

No thank you.

[AZBlue]

18. She's talking about cooperation.

If you think absolute control by Dems is any better than absolute control by Reps, you're sadly mislead. Absolute control is bad. Period.

[American Jesus]

5. Congrats, Senator Hillary on your second term in the Senate.

Now do right by your constituents and serve out all 6 years of your term.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

6. What Are You Talking About? She's Doing Great! GO DEM'S!!!!!!!

Congrats Hillary!

[Radio_Lady]

49. I'm not the biggest Hillary supporter, but I HATE it when people of BOTH parties

begin to "dump" on her.

[progressivebydesign]

7. Mean people suck. n/t

[cynatnite]

8. Sorry, I like her...

she's a strong woman. Glad she won :)

[LiberalArkie]

11. I have to mute her and GWB.. they both make my skin crawl.

[Radio_Lady]

16. Don't even mention them in the same breath!!!! She got 69% of the

vote in New York.

Damn, she is a great woman and together with her husband, we could do a LOT WORSE than selecting them as the Democratic co-presidents in 2008.

Good night and good luck.

Radio_Lady in Oregon

[Alamom]

34. Bravo !!! I agree completely. n/t

[Clark2008]

33. See - thank you!

People in the South and mid-West think her voice is flat.

My husband is from Boston, and I love his accent - so it's not a North/South thing. I just think her nasal tones are, how many times to say this, flat. Like a note that doesn't quite fit, but isn't awfully out of place.

[Radio_Lady]

41. You know, you sound like a program manager I had to face in 1977.

He told me that "people wouldn't listen to a woman because a woman's voice is not authoritative enough." Women were "shrill, nasal, poorly pitched and flat."

You know what? No one would ever say this about a man. We have all sorts of male voices, both accepting or losing their seats tonight. You're the first one who brought up a voice at all.

Sorry, I disagree with you so totally that I could spit! And I don't spit....

[spooked]

12. Nothing wrong with what she says about getting our "Beloved Country" back!!

I like the sound of that!

[AZBlue]

13. She's won - she deserves to make a speech like anyone else.

And I really like what she's saying!!

[Ikonoklast]

14. Meh

DLC middle-of-the-road will be a defeatist strategy for '08.

[Radio_Lady]

48. We'll see. Say what you will here on Nov. 7, 2006, you have no lock on the future.

Frankly, my crystal ball is cloudier than yours.

[cboy4]

15. Why the fuck would we be bashing ANY Democrat tonight?

It's ridiculous.

[Bluebear]

17. Thank you.

[AZBlue]

26. Oh, it's not a day on DU without a Hillary-bashing thread.

Today's is long overdue.

[Radio_Lady]

43. Really! I hadn't noticed them.

[AtomicKitten]

21. She retained a blue seat in the Senate.

She's entitled to a victory speech. Turn the channel if you don't like it.

[Radio_Lady]

28. Exactly. That Clinton couple has done an extraordinary job representing our

liberal viewpoints everywhere.

Damned people who have dissed her for WHATEVER -- her plastic surgery, her voice, her clothes, her ankles.

HER MIND AND HER IDEAS ARE IMPORTANT. GO TRY AND TRAMPLE ALL OVER THAT!

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. She's better than any fucking repuke would be.

Would you have preferred her to lose? WTF?

[AJH032]

27. yuck?

uh..okay..

[DoYouEverWonder]

30. Then change the channel

if you don't like her.

Some of us liberal women around here like her a lot.

[Missy M]

Why should she go away.....

she won again with a big margin. She has every right to make a speech. I can't believe people on DU are still dissing her, tonight of all nights. She's a great senator and the people of NY know it. Congratulations Hillary.

[ronnykmarshall]

31. Kiss my ass!

[Radio_Lady]

50. Sorry, but your ass just doesn't appeal to me!

[ronnykmarshall]

56. and fuck you too

[ecstatic]

32. That's just plain disrespectful and rude

What did she ever do to you to deserve your contempt? Do you want Democrats to be in control or not?

[Tellurian]

36. Congrats to Hillary...

Don't forget to give your husband a hug..:)
He was a BIG help too..

[TexanDem]

40. question: did she get boo'd? I was on the phone...

I missed her, but sounded like the crowd booing?? what did she say that triggered that?
thanks!

[Radio_Lady]

44. They weren't booing at her. She said something in jest...

The station cut away from the coverage.

[TexanDem]

47. Oh, good. Thanks!

[Avalon Sparks]

46. The Booing

I wish I could remember exactly what she said, it was about Bush and the Republicans - and the booing was in response to some policy Repubs and Bush support and Democrats don't.

I'm positive it wasn't directed at her.

[Radio_Lady]

53. That's right, Avalon.

[Avalon Sparks]

42. Way to go Hillary - LANDSLIDE!!

Go Hillary!!!! Great Job!!!

It was so great to see her speech - and to see them together.


A poster above put it best:

[Radio_Lady]

55. Thanks again, Avalon. That was from me, Radio_Lady.

I would have expect discussions about these things from Republicans, but from Democrats?

I think it's reprehensible.

[Redstone]

45. I liked her speech. What's your problem?

Redstone

[Radio_Lady]

51. OT: How's your wife, Redstone? What an awful thing!

[DawgHouse]

52. She's great!

[HuffleClaw]

54. had to sit through a couple minutes of her on detroit tv

blech.
