I think this is a pretty good speech actually. But, like, it's American Idol when the contestant gives their best performance after they've been voted off :lol

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

"If we can blast 50 women into space, why can't we send them all there lolollol"

:lol

 

[teiresias]

I'm not liking how this is basically, "I didn't lose because of a faulty campaign - I lost because of the glass ceiling."

 

[captmcblack]

I won't lie...this is kinda cool.

Why did she have to be such a bitch for the campaign? Then maybe I wouldn't mind her as VP.

 

[camineet]

YES WE WILL, hillary, we will launch a woman into the White House, but, that woman won't be YOU.

It's a pretty good speech, but I think Hillary is using the opportunity to make her case for VP.

 

[Sharp]

I feel like some of these examples would have been better for an Obama concession speech, but still good nonetheless.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Cry Hill Cry!

Basically

urgh @ this speech

 

[Bulla564]

I think she riled up feminists with that last part. It smells of presidential bid in 2012.

 

[avaya]

She had absolute cretins in charge of her campaign.

 

[EMBee99]

This would be the seventh stage of tragedy, rite?

Seriously, this is a good speech. She's really slamming it home that her supporters need to put Obama in the White House.

I give it a B. Points off for not mentioning McCain and how he does not share her values

 

[ratcliffja]

I really, really like this speech. This is probably the best speech I've ever heard of hers and it's not just the Obama praise. Her anecdotes and historical insight have been very, very effective.

 

[camineet]

Not possible, Obama will be re-elected in 2012.

She can try in 2016 tho, when she's too old and tired

 

[Sharp]

C'mon GAF, lay off Hillary at this point, now that Hillary is focusing on unity, so should we. And by "we" I do mean "those of us who support Obama," not necessarily our libertarian, Republican, and Green (are there any of you?) compatriots.

 

[camineet]

ABOUT to CRY, ABOUT to CRY!

edit: she choked back the tears at that moment.

 

[Cheebs]

no attacks on mccain?

 

[StoOgE]

I give it a B. Points off for not mentioning McCain and how he does not share her values

this is the problem, its a great speach for mending fences, but she needed to blast McCain.

 

[Suikoguy]

no attacks on mccain?

I'm beginning to wonder...

 

[Sharp]

no attacks on mccain?

Don't worry, I'm sure they're coming. Especially his abortion record is going to be brought up plenty of times, enough that most feminists will think twice before considering casting their vote for him.

 

[teiresias]

no attacks on mccain?

I'm not sure they would fit into the tone of this speech. I'm sure she'll be doing it soon enough at other events.

 

[Amir0x]

Aw this end seems really sweet

 

[quietcrown]

...

 

[teiresias]

I think Obama lent her some of his speech writers.

 

[StoOgE]

I'm not sure they would fit into the tone of this speech. I'm sure she'll be doing it soon enough at other events.

she really could work them in easily. Just say "I stand for Universal health care, so does Obama, McCain sucks donkey shit and doesnt like it", but she probably wanted an upbeat speach, so left it out. I'm sure its coming later.

 

[Gaborn]

no attacks on mccain?

I think she's trying to look more like Obama, sweeping message, vision of hope, positive imagery. This is absolutely her VP case she's trying to make.

 

[ZeroTolerance]

no attacks on mccain?

But at least she is praising Obama so it evens out.

 

[Amir0x]

at the end of it all, i'm going to miss the Hillary vs. Obama grind in some perverse way

:salute:

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

Hilary is 44 is hysterical. From the front page-

"NOvember will come soon enough and we will vote for Hillary; No one else but Hillary. We will encourage others to do the same.

We won’t be alone in that decision- vote for Hillary - Not Big Media, Not Big Media Tool Obama. We will also NOT vote for any candidate who endorsed Obama over Hillary during the primary season. We will encourage as many Democrats as possible to follow our lead."

:lol

The denial is sickening.

 

[avaya]

A fine cut from Hillaryis44...The racism is amazing.


'Can a women be commander in chief? well we answered that one and can a black man be elected president? Obama answered that one.'

You reading that out of context. She said that in her speech.

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

She is totally kicking ass in this speech. Obama helped write it the night of his visit maybe

A lot of it sounds like straight out of his playbook.


On a serious note this is a fantastic speech though and I feel nobody can be left thinking she doesn't want Obama to win that White House. Major kudos to Hilary Rodham Clinton!

After this speech, I say Obama makes her his VP. She has made a damn good case for herself here. If her and Obama combine together after this speech, there is absolutely nothing that will stop Obama from becoming this Country's next President.


He will get a noticeable boost in polls, but with Hilary? McCain will be flat out smothered.

I'm feeling a bit disappointed that she didn't go after McCain some in her speech, but I assume she's saving that for later on.

 

[The Librarian]

Pretty good speech, definitely her best.

 

[teiresias]

One speech does not erase the fact that both her and Bill would be in the white house and putting pressure on policy decisions if she were the VP. It shouldn't happen, and I hope it doesn't.

 

[camineet]

and now the whole political family together. aww how CUTE.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So am I 40 bucks richer, or what?

 

[Cheebs]

When can we start noticing a boost in the gallup daily tracking polls? He has only gained 1 point on mccain so far as of yesterdays poll.

 

[avaya]

She did exactly what I expected her to do today, 100% on the bandwagon.

Chelsea Clinton will probably be the first Woman President because Barack is gonna win 2008 and 2012!

 

[GhaleonEB]

IT IS DONE

 

[quietcrown]

You reading that out of context. She said that in her speech.

Ah, okay...My stream cut out.

 

[ratcliffja]

While this was an excellent speech, it's hard for me to discount everything that the Clintons did during this campaign to make me lose trust in them. I just don't know that I could trust her as VP, but I admit that it would sting a bit less after hearing that.

 

[StoOgE]

After this speech, I say Obama makes her his VP. She has made a damn good case for herself here. If her and Obama combine together after this speech, there is absolutely nothing that will stop Obama from becoming this Country's next President.
.

I think she made a deal for supreme court justice myself.

 

[NomarTyme]

Good speech! Good job Hilary.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

up n down speech

 

[Sharp]

I think she made a deal for supreme court justice myself.

Is she qualified to be a Supreme Court justice though?

 

[Gaborn]

I think she made a deal for supreme court justice myself.

I don't see the Senate confirming her for that, under... just about any circumstances, EVEN if the Democrats controlled 60 senate seats.

 

[camineet]

She did exactly what I expected her to do today, 100% on the bandwagon.

Chelsea Clinton will probably be the first Woman President because Barack is gonna win 2008 and 2012!

I'd admit, Chelsea has a HUGE chance of being the first woman president. just like Bill helped Hillary, Hillary will be helping Chelsea. That's a really scary thought that Chelsea might do it.

Will she be 35 by 2016?

 

[Stumpokapow]

I think she made a deal for supreme court justice myself.

Gee whiz would that ever be a bad idea. It'd be a brutal fuckup of a confirmation hearing, she'd be the most partisan nominee in a lifetime, she'd be one of the few non-judge nominees ever--and even most of those have been far more prominently involved in law that she was.

 

[Fireblend]

She spoke well. I guess after all I wouldn't mind that much her being VP, specially if that means appeasing those sickos at Hillaryis44... still, well spoken, it did sound like Obama helped her with it, can't wait to see more from her, after this she's gonna be a major force in Obama's campaign.

 

[StoOgE]

Is she qualified to be a Supreme Court justice though?

yeah, she's a lawyer, thats about all you really need.

 

[teiresias]

I think she made a deal for supreme court justice myself.

Wouldn't surprise me, but I worry that may become another Miers-style debacle. Has she done anything in law that would qualify her for a position on the court? Sure, she's a lawyer, but that's not really the most important thing for Supreme Court appointments, and depending on the makeup of the congress would it be a sure thing she'd be confirmed.
