Support NeoGAF

[sangreal]

Taylor Marsh, the key anti-obama site in the primaries after Hillaryis44 has this in big words on it now:

"
SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA TODAY. SIGN UP NOW AND TOGETHER WE CAN WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER IN AMERICA'S HISTORY"


And you know what? Watching that speech I was watching it like I watched Obama's. For the first time in YEARS I watched Hillary with excitement. It felt...weird

She was just quoting that message from Hillaryclinton.com although TM has been supporting Obama for a few days now

That said, have you read the comments?

She can't leave the Democratic Party but I have! She is great her speech was gracious but now I still will never vote for The Racist hoodwinker bamboozler terrorist lovin back stabbin liar Never!

She gave us the signal. Fight for what is right. She can't fight them all by herself. We have to do it for her.

Take it to Denver.

This is America.
We have a Democracy.
We are willing to fight for it.

America 2008
Democracy 2008
President Hillary Rodham Clinton 2008

INSTEAD OF BOOING THEY SHOULD BE BOOING AND SCREAMING DENVER. SHE HAS TO GIVE THIS ROBOT SPEECH. SHE DOESN'T MEAN IT PERIOD. SHE WAS FORCED INTO A CORNER AND DESTROYED BY MSM AND MONEY.

etc

 

[Xeke]

Hill getting the VP position would be the one thing that would make me vote McCain.

Fool.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ok gone to bed hope I don't wake up to bad news

a youtube link for the speech in the OP would be nice

 

[Lefty42o]

sheeesh seems like you guys are ready to give her VP over this one speech

no, but i now support if obama puts her on the ticket cause she has shown she is a true democrat and team player with this speech.

 

[Stumpokapow]

(transcript paraphrased liberally):

CNN: WAS SHE GUNNING FOR THE VP SLOT?
Terry McAuliffe: No, she was reminding her supports what an amazing campaign it's been and trying to help unite the party.

CNN: YEAH BUT SHE SAID "TOGETHER" DOES THAT MEAN SHE'S AUDITIONING
Terry McAuliffe: Look, some people would like her to be VP, but that's Obama's choice. She was not campaigning for VP with this speech.

...

CNN: WILL SHE CAMPAIGN LESS HARD IF SHE IS NOT THE VP?
Terry McAuliffe: Look, NO. Fuck off, guys.

 

[Sharp]

You should read the comments underneath them. The people there are saying that Hillary was "forced" into giving this speech, and they will never vote for the "lesser" candidate. These people are truly nuts!

I started reading the comments and soon realized that there were only about four people commenting over and over, with a few others posting in between. Nutjobs like that are not going to play a significant part in the election process.

no, but i now support if obama puts her on the ticket cause she has shown she is a true democrat and team player with this speech.

Lefty! Where have you been these last few days?

 

[GhaleonEB]

no, but i now support if obama puts her on the ticket cause she has shown she is a true democrat and team player with this speech.

But she was the exact opposite before the speech. It was good, but that doesn't make her a good veep pick.

Yeah, John King should really stick to playing with maps.

 

[Cheebs]

TODAYS GALLUP!!!!

No bump yet.

 

[Hootie]

Chuck Todd Wizard and God of Holy Church of Trinity and Might and Christ should abandon MSNBC and form his own network, which would feature only Chuck Todd all day, every day 24/7.

*FAP FAP FAP*

Oh man I'm so happy right now.

We can do this shit!!



Also: Hillaryis44 is on SUPER-SUICIDE watch right now.

 

[GhaleonEB]

The Gallup has been weird. Every other poll has Obama ahead at least 3 points, some wider. Rasmussen had a 5-point bump for Obama as well.

[ZeroTolerance]

no, but i now support if obama puts her on the ticket cause she has shown she is a true democrat and team player with this speech.

LLeftyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..Welcome back man....

 

[DarienA]

no, but i now support if obama puts her on the ticket cause she has shown she is a true democrat and team player with this speech.

Yeah my wife and I came to this same conclusion yesterday. While I wouldn't be thrilled with her as the VP, in the end I would tolerate it if it was determined this was a much stronger way of ensuring Obama gets in the Whitehouse.

 

[Cheebs]

Rasmussen had a 5-point bump for Obama as well.

3 points now. Obama went down a little in todays Rasmussen.

 

[pxleyes]

 

[camineet]

wow, this is a stunningly good-looking picture of Hill (concidering it's Hill, of course) from CNN:

 

[TheKingsCrown]

TODAYS GALLUP!!!!

No bump yet.

Amir0x, and whoever else has been campaigning for Obama, listen up!

Some people believe the Democrats will win in a landslide. But I assure you, ASSURE YOU, that all the republicans I have spoken to that are a part of my life have come up with a variety of ridiculous reasons why Mccain is better than Obama. And these are 20 somethings, maybe a little older. Do not underestimate the power of cult logic. They still believe that Mccain is older, wiser, and more seasoned because he is a vet, when a majority of the ones I have talked to (without taking a hard line stance against what they are saying) do not have ANY justification for why they believe that to be the case.

Make no mistake. It is going to take an amazing energy and an amazing effort to elect Barack Obama. This energy and effort will have to be derived from young, old, and Clinton herself. The reason this energy and effort is required is that there are a number of divisions which have to be destroyed before we elect Obama. These include: 1. Race. 2. Conservative vs. liberal. 3. Old vs. young. 4. Rich vs. poor.

He represents all these people, but he hasn't necessarily CONVINCED all these people.

Lastly, I would say that I myself have considered helping out in his campaign because I really feel as though I identify with him. I don't know what I feel would be the best role for myself though. I am much more of a strategic person, a speech giver, than I am a door to door campaign salesman. I'm not sure that, aside from money, I would really be able to contribute. However, any suggestions would be helpful!

 

[Stumpokapow]

CNN is now interviewing Carl Bernstein. They asked him the same question twice in a row.

Q: What did you think of the speech?
A: Clinton spent most of her campaign saying Obama is not qualified. She'll obviously have to go forward at this point and deal with that. Let me tell you about the history of this building--bla bla bla architect designed the building bla bla bla statue of a black soldier (what the fuck?) anyway Cnow she's going to have to keep reassuring people that the wounds of the primary can be healed.

...

Q: So how would you rank this speech?
A: She's taking the first steps but she's going to have to keep clearing up some of the not-nice things her and Bill said about Obama during the primary.

Are you a registered Democrat?

 

[theBishop]

Is anyone else seeing Terry Mcauliffe's shirt? It looks like he's just about to hop on a plane to Hawaii.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

so.. now can some of you admit that you were wrong about hillary the power hungry bitch who'd stop at nothing to prevent obama from being elected?

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Is anyone else seeing Terry Mcauliffe's shirt? It looks like he's just about to hop on a plane to Hawaii.

Ignore Terry.

He's been drinking since 6 a.m.

so.. now can some of you admit that you were wrong about hillary the power hungry bitch who'd stop at nothing to prevent obama from being elected?

Damn Tyrone, that sounded really sexist.

Haha, funny stuff... my name is Tyrone.

Lefty! Where have you been these last few days?

since we bought our home i have spent very little time inside. i used to be a hermit now i try to go outside and work in the yard or just take walks, and visit my neighbors and new friends. today is to damn hot to be out so here i am in back in my chair.

 

[sangreal]

 

[Stumpokapow]

HAHAHAHAAH

John King, after just being told by Terry fucking McAuliffe "Drop this fucking VP angle, that's not what this was" ten minutes ago, just did a little talking head segment where he proclaimed that Hillary is officially pitching herself for VP.

 

[grandjedi6]

What the? Well I was originally going to vote McCain but if Hillary says so...

Independent.

 

[Hootie]

I, and no doubt many on this site and across the country, still despise her for her smear tactics and negative campaigning. Until Obama takes the Oath next year I will not change my opinion on her. She ran an absolutely disgusting campaign I cannot forgive her for that. She should've conceded long ago but just kept pushing it and changing the "goal posts".

 

[Qwerty710710]

I'm hoping these people only represent only .000000000000000000000001% of the voting population.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

, Chuck Todd is actually going to be on Meet the Press tomorrow? That's new! I think his stock has grown this election cycle big-time.

Certainly from my perspective he's come a long way. Before I started paying big attention to the primaries, he was just a guy I saw sometimes that I thought kinda looked like Lucas from Days of Our Lives with a beard.

 

[Tamanon]

BTW, this marks the first time since 1980 that a Clinton has lost an election.

 

[Hootie]

Certainly from my perspective he's come a long way. Before I started paying big attention to the primaries, he was just a guy I saw sometimes that I thought kinda looked like Lucas from Days of Our Lives with a beard.

:lol I fucking love Chuck Todd. I'd almost consider going gay for this Man-God. His power so great and his judgment (math) is so far above our level of intelligence we inferior beings may never hope to comprehend his perfection.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Independent.

Well, that pretty much disqualifies you for anything more substantial than a door-to-door canvasser or phone bank worker. Virtually all of the general election campaign infrastructure goes through the DNC hierarchy.

 

[camineet]

Hillary is officially pitching herself for VP

 

[sangreal]

so.. now can some of you admit that you were wrong about hillary the power hungry bitch who'd stop at nothing to prevent obama from being elected?

and they accuse Obama supporters of putting too much stock in speeches :lol

Hillary just spent months dragging Obama's name through the mud, convincing her supporters that he is racist, sexist and unqualified to be President. This was after she was all but eliminated mathematically. No, listening to her yell WE MUST ELECT BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT a few times does not make me think she is any less selfish

 

[Frank the Great]

omg tamron hall is on

on nom nom

 

[DrForester]

I was out this morning.

How was Hillary's speech. She didn't claim popular vote or do one of the non-concession concessions, did she?

 

[Frank the Great]

I was out this morning.

How was Hillary's speech.

it was alright i guess

 

[Odrion]

Wow. You're as bad as the Hillaryis44 crowd.

I, and no doubt many on this site and across the country, still despise her for her smear tactics and negative campaigning. Until Obama takes the Oath next year I will not change my opinion on her. She ran an absolutely disgusting campaign I cannot forgive her for that. She should've conceded long ago but just kept pushing it and changing the "goal posts".

Double Negative = No means Obama = They're voting for Obama

IAWTP 100%

Wholeheartedly.

Unity.

 

[Suikoguy]

Exactly

 

[The Librarian]

What the? Well I was originally going to vote McCain but if Hillary says so...

But Hillary said Obama doesn't have enough experience.

 

[DrForester]

I'm sure it's old, but all of you bashing (rightly so) Hillaryis44 might want to see this old article where they tracked down the guy who runs it.

Chuck Todd should be vice president, the combination of him and Obama's intelligence would enable physic abilities.

thumbs up to whoever put that together.

 

[DrForester]

You know, looking at the speech notes (And watching bit on the MSNBC replay) I am surprised Clinton didn't take the easy out.

I REALLY expected her to claim that she knew for months that she would not win, but that she stayed in the race and attacked Obama to temper him into a stronger candidate.

Obviously I don't think that's why she did stay in, but i do think that Obama IS a stronger candidate because of the pressure Hillary put on him.

 

[Uncooked]

They still believe that Mccain is older

They actually think McCain is older than Obama?!? Man, Republicans are teh stupid!
