ago and it sounded from her voice like she was conceding despite what her words were.

Why bring up Michigan and Florida again if it was?

9. That's why she will supsend as opposed to concede |
|
She could be wrangling for Veep. She does have a good number of delegates to bargain with.

18. It's not a concession speech, but I can answer that question |
|
That is consistent with the position she has taken all along. She will say that the Democratic Party needs to heal and be united, and she will say that part of that healing and unity is to bring Florida and Michigan in from the cold and back into the heart of our Party at the convention. The stance she took tonight will hold up whether or not she ends up thinking she can be our nominee. She can later concede and still hold to that position. If Hillary Clinton ends up losing the nomination part of her work for Obama will be to help him regain his competitiveness in Florida and Michigan (and PA and OH). By still speaking up on behalf of Florida and Michigan's Democratic voters she stays a viable advocate either for herself or for Obama.

she is going to campaign and continue through all 50, she needs the donations to her campaign, she will milk the supporters, giving them false hope along the way - when there is no hope.
it's pathetic, it's sickening

19. The speech had everything in it for everyone |
|
Edited on Tue May-06-08 10:04 PM by zulchzulu
There were marching orders for future races.
There was what in the TV biz is called "blame night" where she congratulated and thanks everyone except the janitor.
Then there was the Bring Back Michigan and Florida Votes well past any signs that will happen.
Then there indeed was what sounded like a concession speech.
Let's just say there are a few messages on Hillary's answering service tonight...
