This is historic HAS ANYONE SEEN A CANDIDATES SPOUSE deliver the concession speech before?

[wndycty]

Wow, just WOW!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

1. It's not a concession speech it's a rally at a different state

[Bread and Circus]

21. Do you have that on a macro? You have posted the same statement

in several threads with absolutely no rhetoric to back it up.

[robbedvoter]

29. They announced on MSNBC - concession at 9:30 - by Hillary

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Which raises the question of who the real candidate is.

The more Bill's been out front, the more you gotta wonder.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

3. it would if it was a concession speech

[tekisui]

7. Has she given her concession speech, or is that it from the tag-team.

[Stephanie]

19. she's not speaking

she issued a statement instead.

[Pyrzqxgl]

8. Remember when George Wallace couldn't run, he put his wife up in his place.

We all knew that ole George ran the show in Alabama.

[butterfly77]

13. Which raises the question..

why did the media cover him when they know Hillary is in Tennessee... Because they want it to be about Bill...and they will keep hyping this up until Feb 5..

[Stephanie]

20. No, it's because he's speaking and she's not

but go ahead and believe whatever fairy tale you'd like to believe.

[butterfly77]

34. I don't believe in fairy tales..

I am not an Obama supporter...

[rodeodance]

16. Who IS Hillary running against?

[Azathoth]

4. She hightailed it out of town and left her husband to do the cleanup work

On edit: I guess the rally isn't in SC.

[HughMoran]

5. It's not a concession speech

Snap out of it!

[Stephanie]

23. It sounded just like one, however

He congratulated the winner, admitted defeat, said the real vote would be on Feb 5, and then went on to boast about his accomplishments. After a while he mentioned his wife.

[HughMoran]

28. So

It wasn't.

[Stephanie]

30. It depends on what the meaning of "concession" is.

[HughMoran]

36. that would normally be funny to me

not tonight - the irrational attacks and otherwise poor sportsmanship of the Obama supporters has made me feel sick to my stomach. :(

[madrchsod]

6. how long before the you know who threads start?

i guess the people in sc don`t read the newspapers or listen to the tv....or maybe they know it`s crap....

[cmkramer]

9. not the first time

Betty Ford gave the concession speech when Jimmy Carter beat her husband in 1976. If I remember, Pesident Ford had lost his voice and couldn't speak.

[BringBigDogBack]

10. pretty funny

[1corona4u]

11. Stop the spin...

don't you have some gloating thread to attend to? Faux outrage.

[MonkeyFunk]

12. How childish

it wasn't a concession speech - it was a rally for Hillary in Missouri.

[lisainmilo]

14. no n/t

[rodeodance]

15. guess it is official--Another 2 or 1 deal

[rodeodance]

17. such a Calulating person. Can't obama control her?

[City Lights]

18. Get the hook!

He's still talking. :rofl: Poor Bill. He just can't get enough of himself.

[Tulkas]

22. Maybe you have it backward, The Candidate's Spouse Is On The Ballot

[thatsrightimirish]

24. I believe its a rally

not a concession speech. But if Scarborough says so

[zulchzulu]

25. Has a candidate ever brought up an opponent's kindergarten paper before?

Lots of unprecedented crap from the Clintons for the history books...

[Auntie Bush]

37. Has a candidate ever brought up what someone's high school/college

stance was before they even reached maturity and became socially aware and out from under her household influence? Before she's had a chance to get an education and think for herself. Hell, my Father was a small businessman and loved Nixon...well I did too...till I was old enough to see and know better. At least she has always been interested in politics and that's says something important and she should be complimented.. She hasn't just recently become involved with saving America, the poor and black. She alway has. Yes, Obama worked hard too.

By the way did you know that was a tongue in cheek comment about kindergarten and was so silly as to be absurd to be taken seriously or defended.

Edited to add to the much more to this post and make corrections.

[robbedvoter]

26. Concession at 9:30 by Hillary. This was another event.

I have yet to hear a concession from Obama.

[El Pinko]

27. I don't think using Bill this one time would be a problem...

...except for the fact that at this point, pretty much everyone is getting Bill fatigue.

It's one thing to have him rooting for her and making some campaign stops, but it seems like he's hogging

the spotlight and acting as a full-fledged proxy. Having him appear THIS MUCH makes it look like she

really can't stand on her own as a candidate.

In context of the last couple of weeks, it would have looked much better if she'd spoken herself.

Having Bill talk AGAIN may be the last straw for her candidacy. How tone-deaf is this woman?

[Auntie Bush]

She's out of state and will give her concession speech around 9:30.

Is that OK with ya!

By the way...everything that's going to happen in the future is going to be the first time. Get over it!

[butterfly77]

31. And we haven't seen one tonight....

[Armstead]

32. What concession? He basically called SC voters irrelevant

One of the least gracious things I've seen in a while

[Tulkas]

35. Translation... Blacks Don't Count, but that isn't racist... really

[LibraLiz1973]

33. You don't remember when Babs conceded for Poppy?

:sarcasm:

[robbedvoter]

38. She gave a concession speech. Congratulated Obama. MSNBC even apologized

for misleading viewers into believing that Tennessee rally was the concession speech.
NBC Nightly news ran with the lie too. ABC News gave a clip of Hillary's actual concession. This is the third thread on this here. Put the lie to rest already.

Try to show some grace - at least in victory.
