It's going to the Convention.

[kentuck]

Unless there is a deal made? Hillary, you can have the VP job or I will nominate you as Supreme Court Justice if you prefer?

[greguganus]

1. Fuck her. She deserves nothing. n/t

[kentuck]

7. No problem.

The Party is split into. John McCain wins the election. And we get four more years of George W Bush. Brilliant.

[qazplm]

9. fine

so be it. If Clinton and her fans are playing that way, then I guess we go down together.

But I for one am not going to be held hostage.

[greguganus]

28. Amen Brother! n/t

[tandem5]

33. ahh unity at least - we all go down in flames together!

[kentuck]

34. UNITY AT LAST - WE ALL GO DOWN IN FLAMES TOGETHER !

:-) Excellent!

[krawhitham]

14. Worth the risk

FUCK HER

[Oregone]

2. Its low for you to mention the Clintons and VP Jobs in the same sentence.

Oh wait...sorry about that. :)

[DainBramaged]

3. Put her in charge of the CIA, dirty deeds done dirt cheap

[Occam Bandage]

4. A meaningless statement. Obama will have the delegates necessary to control the floor

by the end of the week. Everything else is blowing smoke. What's she going to do when she gets there, bang on pots and pans?

[thewiseguy]

5. When Obama hits the magic number then Hillary has no argument

[anonymous171]

6. wrong thread. nt

[billyoc]

8. She would never survive the VP vetting process and she DAMN sure wouldn't survive

a confirmation hearing for the SC or ANY cabinet position.

She's over.

[Carolina]

10. Oh hell no, purge her from the party NOW

she is not qualified
she is not deserving
she is despicable

[kentuck]

15. And purge all her supporters also??

That's really far-sighted.

[Carolina]

35. yes, those disruptors who aren't really Dems

those cheaters...

Just where the fuck were Hi-liar-y and her band of thugs and disruptors during the past 7 years of Bush?

They fight now only for Hillary and her narcissistic attenpt to grab power. So yeah, fuck them along with their feckless leader.

[bilgewaterbill]

19. Ditto. Well stated.

[AtomicKitten]

21. yep

[newmajority]

11. It's over Wednesday.

The superdelegates were watching that fucking circus. What do you think they're gonna do?

[lisa58]

12. No it isn't (IMHO)...

...The SuperD's will give Obama the delegates he needs by next Wednesday (if not before) and the party will gently walk Hillary to the door.

[Carolina]

22. and give her a swift kick in her lying, cheating

disrupting ass.

[OzarkDem]

13. Looking forward to it

If handled properly, Dems will look good and will give the country a lesson in how the democratic process works.

We have to remember that using the Convention as a coronation is a fairly recent phenomenon. I grew up watching Dems do the regular business of choosing a candidate at their Convention. It will be nice to see them revert to tradition.

[GoldieAZ49]

36. I agree

politics is not for the faint of heart

[TwilightGardener]

16. No--I think the Democratic Party spoke today. And it said, we will have a nominee, and

we will follow the rules. That means delegates will decide the nomination, and the winner of those delegates will be Obama. And that will be it.

[DAGDA56]

17. But what does that really mean? I tried to ask this earlier, but only got a single response...

...if the majority of delegates are Obama supporters, won't they be in control of committee assignments? If she takes her issues to an Obama controlled credentials committee, so what? What can she do?

[Occam Bandage]

26. Nothing. Her appeals process stops at the floor, which Obama will control.

She's completely out of options.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

18. Hillary's got to start paying her bills or the collection agencies will call at 3 AM

and will she be too tired to answer?

Will she pay the little vendors, or just Mark Penn?

[lisa58]

23. lol!!!

[gristy]

20. Nah. Over by the end of next week.

Clinton has no chips to bargain with other than a threat of the destruction of the Democratic Party. She won't do it.


I hope.

[Kaylee]

25. The hell she won't....

I've lost all hope that there is any sanity left in the Clinton household.

[DJ13]

24. Screw Clinton & those who support her divisive tactics

They dont deserve ANYTHING except the further ruination of this country at the hands of the corporate owned whores called the GOP.

If thats what they really want, Im fine with that.

When they lose their jobs, the right to choose, when a family member gets sent back to Iraq, they wont have anyone to blame but themselves.

[greguganus]

31. If Obama kisses her ass, he won't get my support. n/t

[Tarc]

27. Good for you, Mrs. Clinton! Keep on fighting

Not all of the DU has swallowed the Obama-aid quite yet.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. Thankfully soon this undermining of the presumptive candidate

will be enforced

[Phx_Dem]

29. How about

a swift kick in the ass. That's about all she deserves and, hopefully, all she gets.

:kick:

[GoesTo11]

32. Hillary has the power

to give the election to McCain if she wants to by sabotaging Obama.

Should she? Of course not.

Will she? Will she threaten to? Only a traitor to the party would. Hillary!

[Edgewater_Joe]

37. Let Me Use My 1,000th Post To Try To Calm You Down

The problem with taking it to the convention now is that she has to gather MORE support -- but after today, she's only going to erode support. If anything, I now think the more she pushes, the fewer votes she'll get at the convention, and the more people she will repulse. There may be a few folks who lock in their support so stubbornly they'll refuse to vote for Obama, but after today they'll look sadder and more bitter (like in the video that Jane from Firedoglake just uploaded).

Hillary won't be on the ticket, though I still see the possibility of one of her supporters (Rendell? Strickland? Clark?) in the VP slot. But this was the end of the DLC, the end of Clintonian influence, the end of the Clinton era today.

She'll go to Denver. She may even squawk a little. But I'm with those who say this broke their influence irrevocably on the party.

Forget about what Hillary does from here on out. Our task is to win every vote we can, and we should now no longer care about what Hillary does in that regard.

It's November 4. Focus on that. Not her.

[RNdaSilva]

38. It will officially be over...

Wednesday. Well, maybe Tuesday night.

Game over...checkmate.

McCain next.
