"Be one of 18 million, STAND WITH HILLARY"

Stand for what? What is going on with this campaign? They are acting like members of a cult.

[helderheid]

1. Eeek.

[crankychatter]

2. Schock Doctrine - Naomi Klein - Brace yourselves - no text

.

[MadHound]

3. Stand and pout?

Frankly I think that Hillary is still trying to secure the nomination for herself. Failing that, she's going to try and bully her way onto the ticket in the Veep slot.

Thus she's keeping her sychophants, er, supporters, whipped up into a frothing frenzy. The implicit threat is that if she doesn't get her way, she can take her supporters and go home. Blackmail, plain pure and simple. And frankly it is disgusting as hell.

[krkaufman]

18. She's fighting for the DLC's future, and a McCain win in November keeps them alive

... even if she has to run third-party to make it happen. I expect she'll stop short of a third-party run, but will continue to exact as much damage on Obama as possible.

[karynnj]

28. This could mean that the cost of Bill Clinton winning in a year any Democrat

would have won - with GHWB at 33% by election day might be 12 of the worse years in American history. There is no way that Bush could have run on bringing honor and decency back to the White House without Clinton's actions. It's impossible to guess the path taken, but it would be hard to get to Bush - especially if the Democratic President continued the investigations of BCCI and other issues.

[krkaufman]

30. True. Bush's Presidency was made possibly by Bill Clinton's behavior.

(And not just the infidelity, but his coverup of it and dragging everyone around him down with him.)

[Mimosa]

33. True, krkaufman

That was a big in GWB's win in 2000.

[dsweet]

4. I voted for Clinton in the primary

But I'm going to vote for Obama in the GE, and there's not a Goddamn thing she can do about it. I'm sure I'm not one-in-18-million.

[Tesha]

24. Thank you. (NT)

[ChrisMatthews]

5. It means: "ya know, these bills are really starting to pile up..."

[tularetom]

7. That's one of the few times I've ever agreed with you Tweety

[Tinksrival]

31. I heard after you sign up it redirects you right to the donation page!

I read this on a pro-Hillary sight! And they were happy about it! :rofl:

[Clark2008]

10. Kiss Keith for me!

:loveya:

;)

[FatDave]

12. HA!

Welcome to DU, Mr. Matthews. Please give my regards to Keith and Rachel. Pat...not so much.

[redqueen]

21. Starting?

:rofl:

She's been stiffin vendors for months!

[DangerousRhythm]

34. Haha!

Too true, too true. :D

I'd love to know what her total debt is at this point. Does anyone know or should we take stabs at it? 40 million, perhaps?

[TexasObserver]

37. Indeed. Send money. 18 million of you. Send 30 million. Love, Hillary

[Arrowhead2k1]

6. What the goddamn fuck?

:mad:

[Barack_America]

8. They're going to need a bigger bunker. nt

[southern_belle]

9. Anyone notice when this changed?

Just wondering how new this is?

[gateley]

15. It was up last night after her stump speech. nt

[southern_belle]

25. Thank you. And it wasn't up before that? n/t

[gateley]

32. I don't know.

I had no occasion to visit it prior to the speech. :7

Someone had posted the We Did It message from Obama's site, so I wondered what Hillary had on hers since she hadn't conceded.

[LSparkle]

11. She wants (another?) co-presidency ...

She wants to use those "18 million" (oh, BITE ME, that's a lie!)
supporters as a club to beat Obama until he agrees to make her a
"co-president" not just a Veep.

The way she behaved last night with her speech, I think Obama
ought to pick ANOTHER woman just to spite her -- show her she's
not the ONLY qualified woman in this country to serve as his
deputy.

[tridim]

13. I bet it'll be 19 million by tonight.

Fucking liar.

[LiberalPersona]

14. What the holy hell?

What are they going to do, stand against voting because she lost the nomination?

[formercia]

16. It's 18 Million when you count all of the phantom voters

that were generated on electronic voting machines.

[gateley]

17. I think she wants to take it to the convention and is getting

validation by these people pledging their support.

[redqueen]

19. "They are acting like members of a cult."

Yup... a cult of personality.

Frickin sad.

And they are SO into projection... ugh.

[damntexdem]

20. But you gotta admit that 17 million is an impressive size for a cult.

So 16 million do have to be respective for all of their 15 million perspectives.

Oh, sorry about the numbers -- I'm still stuck on HRC math.

[NJmaverick]

Wouldn't that technically make someone 18 million AND one

seems like she is claiming support, that is anticipated rather than real.

[NJmaverick]

22. Wouldn't that technically make someone 18 million AND one

seems like she is claiming support, that is anticipated rather than real.

[smiley_glad_hands]

23. 18 million is an imaginary number. eom

[karynnj]

26. you mean, it's really

18,000,000i ? Cool

It is strange to claim when there are people who would have changed had their primary been later. Yesterday would have included NJ - in fact, we had the non-presidential part yesterday. According to polls, instead of being 10% up as she was on SuperTuesday, she was polled as 10% down.

Even earlier there was that effect - supposely Obama did better on day of the vote votes than in the mailed in ones cast earlier.

[cliss]

27. Can we have 2 presidents?

That would be the solution to the problem.

[Marie26]

29. Who knows?

Those 18 million people are almost all Democrats & will support the Dem nominee. She doesn't own you just because you voted for her in the primary. I have no clue what Clinton is thinking anymore.

[SoCalDem]

35. Like Custer now, eh Hillie?

Let's hope it IS the last stand of Hillary..

[TexasObserver]

36. It's an attempt to get money and moral support.

If they really cared about Hillary, they'd be sending her money.
