Hillary on MTP re: NV Voter Suppression reminds me of W, No Comment in an Ongoing Court Case

[JackORoses]

Russert asked her several times what her position on the issue was,
and all she could say was ,"Let the Courts decide"

She refused to state her personal position on the suit.

This is exactly what the Bush Admin does when confronted on any damning issue,
they say they cannot comment on an ongoing investigation.
In other words...Let the Courts decide!

1. Ugh. I can imagine what her Presidency will look like.

What a nightmare.

The Repubs will be filing left and right.

[Cha]

12. That's why we're working ..

to see to it that hillary doesn't smear and jeer her way up into the whitehouse again.

She said "Let the courts decide"

She would not take a position. How is that any different than No Comment?

[Cha]

10. A hillary surrogate calling a DUer

a denigrating name..how appropriate to represent hillary as such.

[boston bean]

17. oh the humanity. I have been called much worse by obama supporters.

[Cha]

21. Not by me you haven't but I've seen hillary's

representatives go off the deep end in vulgarity.

[boston bean]

22. vulgarity? what I said to you was vulgar? You have very sensitive skin then. nt

[Cha]

24. Get a clue and then

get back to me.

[MADem]

3. Investigation? What investigation?

There's a lawsuit that has been filed with regard to the 'super precincts' set up by the party machine without any voter consultation to favor one single employment group.

But there's no 'investigation' that I am aware of. What investigation are you talking about?

And why should Clinton comment on a pending legal action, to which SHE IS NOT a party, that is going before a judge tomorrow?

To make you happy?

[boston bean]

5. true that too! thanks MADem! nt

[aquart]

6. THANK YOU!

[Windy]

15. You do realize that the clinton campaign worked to set up these caucus sites don't you

it all changed when the culinary workers threw their endorsement to Obama.

[MADem]

23. You do realize that that isn't true, don't you?

It was the state party machine that set it up.

But way to go, there!

[Skip Intro]

4. She gave a full answer that made sense. She is the opposite of W. She rocked on MTP.

Much like the last debate. Can't wait for the next one.

[JackORoses]

8. so does she support the suit, or is she against it?

please quote where she stated her definite position.

[MADem]

25. She has no position. It's an ongoing suit. She isn't a party to it.

But actually, this move by the Teacher's Union (and the NV organization has NOT endorsed her--they aren't endorsing anyone) could HURT her, depending on how many of the CW union ignore the 'official' endorsement and go with an 'all politics is local' approach.

She's got quite a few supporters in the CW union. That union has a large share of hispanic voters, and the Clinton campaign has done no small amount of outreach to that sector. The endorsement doesn't help, but that outreach, that has been going on for some time, might mitigate the effect of it to a slight extent. Interesting inside baseball article, here: http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/ny-ushisp135536532jan13,0,3863275.story

Hispanics make up only between 12 and 15 percent of Nevada's Democratic electorate, but Clinton has spent virtually all of her time since New Hampshire courting the state's Mexican, Cuban, Central American and Puerto Rican populations.

Five of seven public appearances during Clinton's three-day swing through California and Nevada that ended yesterday were geared toward Hispanic voters. A sixth stop, to plug her proposed $70 billion economic stimulus package, also courted that group. A seventh was held at a Mexican restaurant.

A big part of Clinton's push is aimed at undermining Velasco's union - the 60,000-member Culinary Workers Local 226 - by appealing directly to its membership of dishwashers, busboys and other casino-industry food workers, which is nearly 40 percent Latino.....Clinton "is very focused on California" and sees Nevada as a way of honing messages that appeal to Latinos in the Golden State, an aide said.

"It's going to be hard for us," an aide said of her chances in Nevada. "The Culinary endorsement was a big deal."

Las Vegas and Los Angeles are too far apart to share a media market, but Clinton's message in Nevada is being disseminated by the national Spanish broadcast media and through word-of-mouth...

[Just-plain-Kathy]

26. She's the same as "w" when it comes to keeping her White House records classified. ...n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

7. Of course she should not take a stand on a suit that could effect her

vote count! Can you imagine if she did? All hell would break loose. Good God, every candidate should stay out of the foundational stuff of each state. That would be a conflict of interest.

I am so tired of everyone jumping on Clinton and saying she is bush-like. It is wrong.

[JackORoses]

9. she could just say, "Let everyone vote"... but that would negatively effect her vote count

I am sorry that it hurts to let you in on this,
but what is more Bush-like than Voter Suppression.

The People of NV will reject this.
Count on it.

[William769]

11. You are the wise one aren't you?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3801849 :rofl:

Forgive me if I don't take you seriously.

[JackORoses]

18. That OP is as valid now as it was then... but it's nice to see that I have a fan

[AzDar]

13. NO more Clintons. NO more Bushes...No more taking it in our tushes!

:patriot:

[ursi]

14. what's her next move if the suit gets thrown out tomorrow?

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

16. It's such transparent bull that it's embarrassing to think

that people can't see what's actually going on here.

[rodeodance]

19. In an earlier article on DU--Obama'a surrogate gave the same response

[boston bean]

20. That doesn't matter. When he says it he means it. yeah riiiiiiiight! nt
