WTF?! I don't have cable. My local CBS affiliate just reported (10pm News) that Clinton has
"vowed to fight on".

Is this what's really happened? I've been trying to follow the threads here in GD-P, but it's mostly hooting and poo-flinging.

This 10pm local news broadcast is the first "hard" news I've gotten about the Indiana and North Carolina primaries since 7pm.

Reading some of the threads here, I was getting all hopefull that she was finally going to concede -- but that's not what's really going to happen, is it.

We're just not gonna get off that easy.

I'll say one thing, though, this just keeps getting more entertaining...

:rofl:

1. Yeah, she's continuing
No surprise there. Her speech was okay. She did claim an Indiana victory a little early, but on the other hand she vowed to work for the Dem nominee. CNN online normally has video feeds of the post-primary speeches, so check it out in the future. The Clinton surrogates speaking to the crowd before Hillary sounded very arrogant and condescending, but that part wasn't played on national TV.

8. Thank you. I can't get online video or audio, my ancient computer & dial-up modem can't handle it.
It's been really interesting reading the threads here for the past hour or so -- lots of sound and fury, but I couldn't actually tell for sure what really happened.

I appreciate your report.

Thank you,
sw

4. Sorry, but Obama is going to have to win the regular way
instead of bullying his opponent into pulling out of the race. Isn't that how he's won the few races he's actually run in?

7. Obama won big in NC. She hasn't won Indiana, but claimed it anyway. She still can't do simple math
that sums it up

15. Ah, thank you! I really appreciate hearing from you. And, well, shit...
Not that her "vow" actually suprises me, but it would be so nice to be done with all this shit.

It's like, haven't the past 7+ years been bad ENOUGH?!? We have to go through THIS too?!?

For gawdsakes stop it, just stop it.

13. I call it masturbatory fantasy non-reporting.
The only ones it makes feel good are themselves. :shrug:

A pity the fantasy has to end sooner or later.

17. Your reply makes no sense. This was the regular local broadcast TV 10 o'clock news program.
They said that Obama had been declared the winner in NC, and that the Indiana count wasn't final, but that Clinton was ahead so far. And then the anchor person said Clinton "has vowed to fight on."

I'm looking for facts, not editorial comments.

19. "It could flip!" -- that would be great. I'd really like to see an end to this.
It just sounds to me like there's almost no way that Clinton is going to let go of fighting for this nomination.

What I want more than anything is to see the DLC "obliterated".

20. CNN now reporting the spread at 2 points with 9% still out....
....mostly Obama strongholds.

Clinton 51

Obama 49 and closing


Hillary did claim she was going to the White House
Hillary supporters had better start sending in the $MONEY$.

21. She put the best face she could have on a very bad result
He had a big win in NC. Indiana is still too close to call - the areas out are mainly Lake county (Gary area) and teh counties with Iu and Purdue. But, he did not need to win both. She couldn't loss both. (Additionally the superdelegates know that Rush Limbaugh likely did get some lift for HRC.) This even as it stands is a huge day for Obama. After over a month of the Clintons, a big machine, throwing all they had at Obama - he is not just standing but winning.

Bill looked like hell. They have in reality lost - there is no way she can sell the SD.

24. She said what she should have said in a speech to her supporters
but I think she sees the handwriting on the wall, or she will soon.
