Hillary supporters not giving up

Hillary Clinton supporters will march through Denver during the Democratic National Convention to show appreciation for the New York senator's historic primary run and urge the party to place her name in nomination.
The city issued a permit Tuesday to Colorado Women Count/Women Vote for a parade on Aug. 26 — the 88th anniversary of women's suffrage and the date Clinton is rumored to be speaking at the DNC.
The group also will team with 18 Million Voices, a national organization of Clinton supporters, for a rally in a yet-to-be-determined Denver park.
"We just want to celebrate Hillary's accomplishments and what she's done for the country as a whole and women in particular," said Katherine Vincent, 55, of Louisville, who is organizing the parade and rally.
Vincent is among those passionate followers who believe Clinton's delegates have a right to vote for her at the convention.
"That's why they were selected," she said. "We think it would actually bring the party together."
Nationwide, Clinton's staunchest supporters refer to themselves as "PUMAs," short for "Party Unity My A--."

Clinton is scheduled to speak at an Emily's List gala at the Sheraton Denver Hotel at 2 p.m. on Aug. 26. She will join Michelle Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the event, a celebration of women's suffrage.

Hillary is going to make her move at the convention.
And those would be....?
“Hillary is going to make her move at the convention.”
Agreed.
It appears to me as though she is ramping up an attempt to cause movement similar to a draft. One of those typical Clinton Political moves designed to cause the appearance of a larger than reality movement of demand for the enlightened, experienced leadership that only a Clinton can provide. The usual Clinton BS IOW.
I can see her at the Convention now....”The People Are Demanding Experienced Leadership”..blah blah blah.
You have to hand it to the Clinton Machine when it comes to sleight-of-hand.
Now that there is a legitimate movement to fully seat/cote all MI/FLA delegates, a roll call could end up being either pretty funny or disastrous - it’s sure to further divide them, either way...I LOVE IT when the ‘Rats do stuff like this!
“Confusion to the Enemy!!!”
Their candidate was bought out of the race. No honor there. If it were my candidate I would get rid of every sign and hope everyone forgot that I ever said her name. Of course we don't call them Dumbocrats for nothing.
Wasn’t Barry calling for a FULL delegate count including Florida and Michigan?
Now, I think the media is solidly in the tank for Obama, but Hillary's people are smart enough to see these articles and develop a strategy to tap into those feelings and perhaps build a Magic TV Moment.
If Hillary takes the nomination away this year, she’ll tear the party up. She should do just enough to make Obama lose in November so she at least has the opportunity to run against McCain in 2012. She cannot keep up-and-comers in the party down for 8 years.
Barry-o, I need you
Sunday dress, ruby ring
Barry-o, I need you so
Could you help me in?
Purple hum, assorted cards
Razor lights youll bring
And all to prove youre on the move
And vanishing
Barry-o, I need you so
Barry-o, I need you so
Edge of night, distract yourself
Obstacles dont work
Homogenize
Decentralize
Its just a quirk
Different ways to see you through
All the same in the end
Peculiar star, a-thats who you are
Do you have to win?
Barry-o, I need you so
Barry-o, I need you so
Barry-o, I need you so
(barry-o)
Barry-o, I need you so
(barry-o)
Can anyone please tell me just what it is Mrs. Clinton has accomplished?
Her husband was president. She a do nothing senator carpetbagger. She ruined her health care initiative and has few if any serious legislative accomplishments.
She did spend 225 million dollars to lose the dem. nomination though.
Worthless whore.
My suspicion is that Hillary will be too old (and too old news) to be viable in 2012. She isn't aging well, and she will be less appealing in 4 years.
It really comes down to this: If Hillary thinks this is her last chance, will she be selfish and go all-in? Will she risk tearing the party apart? Or will she put her own desires aside and do what's right for the party?
Hint: She's a Clinton. She will have no difficulty deciding which path to take.
These people really are delusional! I mean it. They are really sick. And what is scary is there are so many in the nation. The woman has done nothing "for the country". And compared to the harm she and her husband have done the net, on a mathematical scale, is minus 10 to the 1,000,000,000 power.
Our Republic is so screwed!
See my #13. For it was my immediate reaction, as yours.
Seems we’ve brought it upon ourselves.
Just look at the liars and thieves perverts and pieces of excrement we’ve elected to the House and Senate.
Look at the caliber of likely nominees put forth by the two major parties, a pair no one would care for.
There are barely a handful of politicians who you’d trust with your underage daughter or with the key to your home.
And as for the Supremes, I’d like to see one or two get the beat down they deserve.
If it comes to that...how many does she have and how many does she need? *shudder*
Correction:
Hillary is going to make her move on women at the convention.
I thought there was a full delegate count. Obama got delegates based not based on the actual vote and Hillary got robbed. The Florida and Michigan ones only got half a vote though. I think what is going on here is Obama wants them to count as full votes.
Exactly, she is going to be older and less viable in in 4 years. And if Obama wins, she will be way to old in 8. And then there is always her husbands health and mental state. You never know how he will be like in 4 to 8 years from now.
She has almost accomplished as much as Baarack.
Hillary Clinton main supporters: Angry and bitter women.
The CLinton machine LOST.
I’m not aware Obamma Lamma Ding Dong has had lots of folks killed like she has.
Staunch? Is that what they call it now?
Kindred spirits, we are. I especially like your tag line.
“The CLinton machine LOST.”
They most certainly did, but they are sore losers. Worse than “SoreLoserMan”, and more cunning, thus more dangerous. Let’s hope that machine loses the upcoming round as well.
I want to see a stake through it.
The Clinton machine has been always the liberal media and one they lost the liberal media the Clintons were shown to be much dumber than we even thought they are.
Good point, however daily fallicies proffered by “The Obama” are becoming more difficult to spin, and more of an embarrassment to the self anointed Intellectual/Progressives of the Socialist/Democrat elite and their useful idiots in the MSM.
With the few months of time out forced upon the Clinton Machine, spent in their favorite passtime of listening, calculating and of “reinventing” themselves, as in fine tuning their beast, they now promote the cheerleaders of Clintonianism to enable Hillary to hopefully present herself once again, at the convention. We must remember that Hillary never Quit, she “Suspended” her campaign.
Hillary and the Machine did it for Bill...”the comeback kid”, therefore Hillary dwells upon becoming that which she helped produce for Bill, for herself, Hillary as “The Comeback Kid”.
Several recent articles were written with purpose regarding Hillary and McCain as being “similar”, only the source was the clue. Hillary’s site, and her loyalists were the source claiming to be voting for McCain rather than Obama, because of the similarities between the two.
Within the past couple of days have been multiple articles about attempts to gain Hillary a place in the nomination at the convention in Denver by activists for her. Hillary claiming she’s just not interested and not to put up her name.
That’s the sign to me that Hillary wants them to put up her name for nomination, almost as though to draft her in effort to portray a demand by the Hillary loving People that she become President of the United States.
It’s an open, very obvious, adolescent ruse in my opinion, but many will suck it up like a milkshake through a straw.
The Clinton’s are tainted goods IMO. I don’t think the scenario is in their favor, but that is what I see as their goal in manipulating the strings of their marionettes at this time.
Less than 150, I think - I can’t see it happening, though - more’s the pity ;)
Supposedly, she actually worked in the Senate, compared to Obama. She actually put in the hours doing the boring stuff Obama didn’t do. That said, McCain is light years ahead of her in experience.
