Clinton Out With Ad Signaling She Will Stay In Race
CBS News ^ | May 20, 2008 | Brian Montopoli

Posted on 05/20/2008 6:18:28 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

There has been speculation that Hillary Clinton might drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination following today's primaries in Kentucky and Oregon, even as Clinton herself has insisted that she will fight on.

Now her campaign has released a new ad in South Dakota, where voters don't have their say until June 3rd. It's a signal that Clinton has no plans to leave the race anytime soon – one that the campaign underlines in its press release touting the ad, which notes that the spot "comes two weeks before South Dakota voters head to the polls."

The 30-second ad, "Falling Through," opens with a shot of Clinton giving a speech.

"The Bush economy is like a trapdoor," Clinton says. "Too many families are one pink slip, one missed mortgage payment, one medical diagnosis away from falling through and losing everything."

"The oil companies, the predatory student loan companies, the insurance companies and the drug companies have had seven years of a president who stands up for them," she continues. "I intend to be a president who stands up for all of you."

This is so delicous. Just throw another bucket of blood into the shark tank holding these two power-mad Marxists and let them keep eating each other. And let them keep bleeding each other of money.

Keep it up Hitlery — bleed Osama Obama and make it hurt.

I’m starting to wonder if Hillary is to the right of McCain.

Yes, she is POWER-MAD enough to take ANY slot at this point but I don’t think Evita Obama would allow it. But stranger things have happened all in the name of radical empowerment. This is going to be interesting....

It's convenient how she forgets about predatory government.

“What makes you think she’d be OBAMA’s veep ?”

Whatever the shortest path to power is that’s the road she’ll go.
In this case, she will be just one heartbeat away. For a Clinton, that’s a layup.

If Obama would sleep with her, that won’t save him either. Didn’t save Vince Foster when he was sitting on a lot of info that would do Shrillary in.

Shrillary is the Black Widow of politics.

She doesn’t want to be VP, she wants to be President, she will get it via the VP spot, bring him down...

A wussie like John Edwards, Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, Al Gore or Jimmy Carter would've bowed out long ago, but not the Clintons, oh, no! IMO, Rush is a genius, and "president" McCain owes him a BUNCH!

Not as much as will "president Clinton," should his Operation Chaos backfire.

It ain't over till the fat lady sinks.

At least a few times a week FReepers post articles from the press about Clinton throwing in the towel, making an announcement about quitting, yada, yada. And every week there are those of us that say she will never quit, she has no incentive to quit and she has a good chance of getting the nomination.

Either one can be beat. Sit back and enjoy the fight.

the predatory student loan companies

What did these companies do, except perhaps have the audacity to expect people to honor and pay back their student loans? Anyway, it's a laughable description by the Beestie considering the ruthlessness of the IRS audits of taxpayers during the Clintoon reign of terror.

All that said, I hope the witch can hang on until Denver.

Why should/would she drop out when she and everybody else in the world knows that Obama is a guaranteed loser in November?

I have no answer, but as bad as the November prospects are going to be, at least there is some entertainment for those of us who still care a mite.

I think she is counting, in some way, to seat the Fla and Mi delegates. And then pulling in some super delegates (weird system, imo).

What may happen...if this should happen...could be really, really strange.

::::::
You are kidding, right? She is POWER MAD. POWER is all she wants as the frothing Marxist she is. If she feels that would get her one step closer to the Oval Office in 2012, she would do it...biting her tongue all the way. The Clintons NEED to be parasites on the government, and they want POWER.

They will go after it ANY WAY they can. The last two decades of that should have convinced you of that. Power is all they care about. Marxist style.

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
