Hillary Sounds down and not really engaged in her speach right now...

[Roxy66]

Her tone seems very different right now... I thinks she's tired and just running on auto pilot

[anonymous171]

1. She needed a blow out in IN. Instead she barely won and got blown out of NC.

[FlaGranny]

2. Heck, so far she is

using an Obama speech. ????

[redqueen]

9. deleted

[TahitiNut]

16. Some might call that a "unified message."

I don't. But some would. :shrug:

[FlaGranny]

34. She is using some of

Obama's words in this speech. Interesting. She's going through it pretty quickly and she's not using her "blue collar" voice. I really like this Clinton better.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

3. What's she talking about?

[cliffordu]

She also claimed that she came back from an 8 POINT deficit

in Indiana.

Now she just said that energy could be the new Apollo project.== send a man to the moon, we can develop energy sources....bla blah blah....

She stole that from Obama's stump speech

[TahitiNut]

4. Don't worry. She has lots of practice saying things she doesn't believe.

:shrug:

[tridim]

5. She's still bashing Obama. Not by name, but by omission.

Still talking about her gas tax crap.

Better get the straight jacket ready.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

41. Better by omission than by racial "dog-whistle" ("Elitist"="Uppity")

[ReverendDeuce]

6. She is OBLIVIOUS to what happened... It is absolutely TRAGIC...

Listening to the conference call, it became clear that nobody on the campaign is taking it seriously anymore. They are just doing it because Hillary wants it. They don't believe they can win but Hillary is forcing their hand...

Chelsea and Bill, for the love of... Family intervention time! Pull her aside and just tell her, it's OVER...

[oviedodem]

7. Still about the gas tax; won't learn.

[writes3000]

8. I'm sure she's exhausted. It's gotta be tough to give this speech. n/t

[tridim]

11. She shouldn't be giving this speech

She should be conceding.

[writes3000]

25. Someone close to her (BILL) is pushing her to continue this...

I have to believe there are some back-room discussions going on.

[Roxy66]

29. Thats what I think too....he's telling her not to give up

[Colobo]

10. She sounds like John Edwards by the end of his campaign.

[CoffeeCat]

12. It's obvious that she is distraught....

...and trying really hard to get this speech out.

I wonder what she is doing.

Maybe her people are allowing her to go through the motions, and come to
terms with the reality in her own time.

It really is sad.

[livetohike]

19. I think she has realized it's over but won't admit it

It has to be hard to admit that a dream you have had for decades (and the belief that you deserved the nomination) has come to an end.

[democrattotheend]

30. I agree

And I have to admit that it's hard not to feel sorry for her and her supporters.

[helderheid]

33. agreed.

[livetohike]

38. That's true. I've had my share of "supporter disappointment"

in the last 8+ years.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

23. I pray she doesn't have a breakdown or collapse in front of the cameras.

This is kinda like watching a train wreak.

[Dr Fate]

13. I wish her & her supporters all the best- its been a hell of a primary!!!

No one can ever say that Hillary & her people dont kick & scratch when it comes to a primary fight...

[futureliveshere]

14. It did not have to come to this

Its time her nearest and dearest tell her PRIVATELY that the game is up and it is time to hang up her..err..pantsuit.

[Stagecoach]

15. How many people are there watching?

I only hear about 2 people clapping & hollering.

[thereismore]

24. Welcome to DU! nt

[ShortnFiery]

17. She's pandering "the fairy tale" known as "the summer gas tax holiday" that will NOT COME TO PASS

It's all deceipt - smoke and mirrors. The savings will NOT reach the people and it will result in thousands of highway jobs taken away.

She's fucking shameless! :grr:

[KSinTX]

18. Bet they're both exhaused ... this just in: McCain well rested!

[Colobo]

20. She sounds distraught. It's depressing. It hurts to watch...

[ShortnFiery]

26. No slack! HRC still has a lot of mean-spirited attacks left in her. She's gonna TRASH our party ...

IF the superdelegates do not step in, and step in SOON! :grr:

[EmeraldCityGrl]

21. They probably have Bill on an IV...

He looked like he was going to have a stroke last night.

[Roxy66]

28. lol....sorry it's not really funny, but he did seem distraught last night.

[livetohike]

32. He was so red in the face - I guess it's sunburn, but really he

did look bad. The pace he is keeping up campaigning must be taking its toll.

[OhioChick]

22. Definitely not the same enthusiasm she's had. n/t

[Stagecoach]

27. She sounds subdued and non-confident

She's definitely not in attack mode. It sounds like a going through the motions speech.

[JasonHill]

31. she may now be trying to save her cred with the left

after trying to swiftboat obama, she now might be on a tour to ease the animosity toward her

[lutefisk]

36. It's having the opposite effect with me

She must know it's over, right?

This is bizarre.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

35. Notice how there's no crowd of supporters behind her? Didn't

Obama have the same kind of rally after losing Pennsylvania?

What's the political rationale for taking away framing by a crowd? Did not enough people show up in Shepherdstown?

[ShortnFiery]

37. Everyone who CAN is so f**king intimidated by the Clinton's vicious "get evens" they're afraid to do

the right thing, i.e., GET THE HOOK!?! :shrug:

p.s. don't kid yourselves, with HRC, it's ALL ABOUT HER PERSONALLY AND THE CLINTON LEGACY.

[K Gardner]

39. Why are all THREE news channels covering her ENTIRE speech ?

[tridim]

45. I think they expected her to concede..

Hillary just sees this opportunity as free air time for her broke campaign.

[KSinTX]

46. Hoping to scoop a concession. nt

[powergirl]

40. I'm getting tired just by listening to this

Her heart is not in this.

[Colobo]

42. It was pathetic.

[ShortnFiery]

44. Oh no! Don't fall for that feint. She's going to go "for the throat" as early as tomorrow.

REMEMBER the debate a couple of months back where HRC was "so honored" to be with Obama?

Wait for it? It will be an 180 degree turn and both HRC and her surrogates will "take no prisoners."

I hold NO political dirty trick past her and her surrogates.

Don't let her and Bill fool you.

THIS IS GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!

Especially now that our "illustrious" superdelegates are intimidated as hell of The Clintonian DLC ... they don't have THE COURAGE to do the right thing. :grr: :nuke:

[powergirl]

47. Oh, don't get me wrong, there was nothing gracious about it

She doesn't believe her words. But she will say them. She repeats lies all of the time. She will not go down without insulting and trashing Obama. She was just going through the motions.

[OneSelf]

43. No longer relevant...

Bye Hillary!

[Stagecoach]

48. She's doing a news conference now

She looks really subdued.
