Hillary Clinton is Going to Hit a Home Run Tomorrow

[rhombus]

Just watch folks. Tune in. It's going to be special.

She's going to put McCain in his place: Bush the Third. She's going to spell out in no uncertain terms what a McCain presidency would like -- A continuation of George W. Bush's third term. She's going to make a strong argument against letting primary emotions rule over reason.

Folks, don't miss Hillary's home run tomorrow. One thing about Bill and Hillary Clinton - They stand tall as DEMOCRATS and are proud of it.


Bring it on John McBush!

1. I Wish I Weren't A Skeptic

But I am.

I hope you're correct.

[Raine]

8. I am too

I hope it's she comes thru but past history makes me skeptical. :-(

[XemaSab]

30. Yup

n/t

[Blondiegrrl]

45. Same here.

I hope I'm wrong as well.

In fact, nothing could make me happier than to be proven wrong.

[VolcanoJen]

49. I'm skeptical as hell.

But hoping she reaches for her better angels. I certainly hope the OP is spot-on!

[GarbagemanLB]

2. She really needs to hit McCain hard to tamp down this bullshit with some of her supporters

threatening to vote for McCain.

[YDogg]

3. I have high hopes for her

[gateley]

4. Looking forward to it! nt

[BOHICA06]

5. After a game is over, home runs are just batting practice ..

she's warming up for the 2012 "I So Told You So" Campaign.

[moriah]

15. The REAL game isn't over.

The *only* game that should matter to any Democrat is the general election.

Doubt her, be cynical, etc... that's your prerogative. But don't rest on your laurels now that your favored candidate has the nomination. There's still plenty of hard work ahead to make *sure* that Obama is our next President. (It may seem "inevitable" that we will win, but ... heh.)

[BOHICA06]

28. Why would she warm up for 2012 ....

... if see thought that Obama had a snowball's chance? Her internals tell her different and just wait until her nomination fight of four years from now. "I SO TOLD YOU SO"...Hillary

[moriah]

52. You're the one who says she's warming up for 2012, not me.

I don't believe she is. Regardless, my point was that we need to work hard to make sure Obama gets elected. Better our work lead to a landslide victory similar to when a well-liked incumbent runs, than to let complacency give the Republicans 4 more years to complete their destruction of this country and our rights.

[Condem]

6. I thought that Tuesday night, rhombus

The fact that she is giving this speech on a Saturday says it all! One of the most overrated politicians in recent times.

[blm]

7. Always expected a strong performance from her when her future is on the line.

And the corner is a tight one. Performance is exactly what I expect.

[Ian David]

9. Run Home, Hillary! Run HOME! n/t

[BeyondGeography]

10. I think she will do well

I also expect her to say one or two things of the purely self-promotional nature that highly irritate me in the process. She rarely fails to do that.

[bunnies]

11. I suspect you over estimate.

And its meaningless now anyway. She bashed Obama... said John McCain would be a better President... now she wants to flip?! And we're supposed to believe her?! meh.

No one who's been paying attention will be convinced by anything she says. We already know how she feels about Obama. Unless what she said about him was a LIE.

[Poll_Blind]

12. Well, after Tuesday's idiotic display, I guarantee she'll strike a more conciliatory tone.

  However fractionally, in comparison.

PB

[ampad]

13. I hope she chases that home run

all the way back to her New York Senate seat.

[Binka]

37. Damn Straight Ampad BTW I Love That Your Family Is Navy. My Dad Was A Career Naval Officer

Enlisted at 17 and retired a Rear Admiral. One of the first mustangs to achieve that rank. He is still going strong in his 70's just finished touring Holland on his bicycle. :hi: friend.

[cynatnite]

14. She will do very well in her absolute support of Obama n/t

[bunnies]

20. "Obama has a speech he gave in 2002"

Sure. Suddenly her "support" will be "genuine" and "convincing". :eyes:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

22. it's called A PRIMARY sweetie...."get over it" as a Clinton supporter that now supports Obama....

I had to "get over it"....now maybe it's your turn to do the same

[bunnies]

25. Its called a LIE sweetie. Justify it.

And since you edited... so will I:

Obama NEVER bashed Hillary in favor of McCain. So, you didnt have to "get over" anything like that.

[PM7nj]

42. Sweetie?

Uh oh!

:crazy:

[Blondiegrrl]

43. It's kind of hard to "get over" something like that when it's obvious the Repugs

will be playing that soundbite over and over and over again in their anti-Obama commercials.

[VolcanoJen]

50. You support Obama, now, Else?

That's the best news I've read all day.

:hug: ElsewheresDaugher :hug:

:yourock:

[polichick]

16. I think it'll be mostly about HRC and what she and her supporters...

...have accomplished ~ with a lukewarm nod toward Obama.

[PresidentObama]

17. Senator Clinton is one hell of an attack dog, let her on McCain.

Thank you Hillary for dropping out!!

You deserve our respect and admiration.

[SoonerPride]

18. I hope so. She has some serious backtracking to do.

Her campaign comments about McCain being prepared and Obama giving speeches really pissed me off.

And I supported her at the time.

She must make McSame a clear pariah for her supporters to get the picture. Hammer home the Roe vWade in peril meme, because it seriously is.

Any woman that votes for McSame is a fool.

Hell, any person that votes for him is a fool.

[KittyWampus]

19. if she doesn't concede and release her delegates she can go to hell. After all her shitty behavior

and the Clinton propensity for stabbing Democrats in the back, she must concede.

[Poll_Blind]

29. Yes.

PB

[ElsewheresDaughter]

21. yes she will!

[Condem]

26. Bets, Elsewhere?

I'm sick of being fooled

[ElsewheresDaughter]

51. I hope you're feeling better today....Hillary ROCKS!

[Condem]

53. Yes, Elsewhere

I put serious money on Da Tara. Unlike you, after the fact.

[blonndee]

23. I really, really hope she does.

We HAVE to take back the White House.

[L0oniX]

24. I won't be holding my breath. n/t

[dana_b]

27. I hope you're right. n/t

[gristy]

31. If she does she will be giving the wrong speech and it will be a disaster

This is her concession speech, not a stump speech. Her only job for the next several months is to transition her supporters to Obama's camp. Read here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6307871&mesg_id=6307871

[MarjorieG]

32. Needs to be clear Obama won fairly. None of the undermining with bogus popular vote.

After all, much of her support is name brand ID who have since moved on. Others turned off to her kiutchen sink.

[JoePhilly]

33. Agree ... she's had some missteps ... but ...

After a few days to settle things down ... she'll be refocused on November ... and ready to crush her real enemy ... those who smeared her year after year after year .... the right wing and GOP.

[CakeGrrl]

34. I'm very skeptical. She has to convince her supporters

that Obama is not, in fact, the unqualified, elitist, sexist vote suppressor she's made him out to be.

Or failing that pretty heavy task, she has to at least convince them NOT to throw their votes at McCain even if she can't undo the impressions left by the character attacks.

We'll see soon enough!

[jeffrey_X]

35. I agree. I think she will hit a home run. I think the REAL momentum starts tomorrow!!!

eom

[Flaxbee]

36. I hope so.

Right now I am more convinced that the Clintons are all about the Clintons - something I didn't ever think I'd feel until these past few months.

I hope she can rise above her very understandable disappointment, and hit the home run you describe.

47. Triangulate Grampa McSame

Welcome to DU. Let's hope she brings the BIG hammer to pound McSame's ass.

[Ikonoklast]

39. Too late for that.

She missed her chance to stand tall, and do the right thing.

This will be anti-climactic at best.

A disaster for her if hubris gets in the way.

[Canuckistanian]

40. Hillary criticize McCain? I guess there a first time for everything

Still, here's to hope

:toast:

[PM7nj]

41. I hope so. I really want to respect her again.

She can totally redeem herself tomorrow. I hope she does, I want to like the Clinton's again.

[PBS Poll-435]

44. Forget Home Runs... I hope she runs from the batter's box,

Runs over to the 3rd base umpire and takes the bat to his nuts. I want her to leap over the dugout and start chasing the beer vendor until he complies with her wishes.

Then I hope she runs up to the announcer's booth and gets on the PA.

I want her to tell us, again, about the "big" states.

I want her to tell us about the "popular vote."

I really want to hear about her 35 years of experience for the 500th time.

[AtomicKitten]

46. I would like to see her respectfully and graciously concede.

And then I want her to get the hell out of the way, quit sucking all the oxygen out of the room, and let Obama get to the task at hand which, in case some have forgotten, is finally after eight nightmare years taking this country back.

[FlyingSquirrel]

48. Expecting a foul ball here... maybe a weak grounder to short.

It's too little too late for her to hit a home run. She's getting up to bat after the game's already over.
