Will keep this short.
Networks preparing for Hillary to (finally) quit in speech Tuesday night.
Will be from NY, Staffers being told to turn in expenses, resumes being FedExed to Obama and other state/local campaigns.
Staffers at one network recalled from lunches to prepare.
Campaign staffers being told to go home.
One network had long conference call among suits last night, followed by conference call between tech types to set up remotes, back-hauls, break-ins, etc.
Union technicians, cameramen, audio, video engineers, etc. told to expect overtime.
More as available
From Associated Press RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton will give her post-primary speech in New York Tuesday night, a rare departure from the campaign trail. Staffers who have worked for her on he ground in Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Montana have been invited to attend the event or go home for further instructions, campaign aides said. The New York senator had no other events Tuesday. She planned to address AIPAC Wednesday in Washington.
From "The Atlantic" Clinton Campaign staffers and former campaign staffers are being urged by the Clinton campaign's finance department to turn in their outstanding expense receipts by the end of the week. That's a sign, to them, that the campaign wants to get its affairs in order soon. If Clinton were staying in the race, there'd be no real reason to collect these receipts now; she'd still be raising and spending money from the same primary campaign account. The campaign is in arrears to the tune of about $11 million.
From one network:
"The former first lady's campaign announced that she would hold an election night "celebration" in her home state of New York, not in the final voting states of Montana or South Dakota."
The Politico website reported that far-flung members of Clinton's travelling staff had been summoned back to New York for Tuesday evening and told their roles on the campaign are ending.
What do Rush and Company have to do with Obama? If it wasn’t for Rush, Obama would have sailed through the nominating process unscathed.
You’ve probably heard this already, but good news.
I’ll believe it when I see it..............

Same here....
Same here. I just can't see her stopping yet. In fact, it'll be a shock to me if she does hang it up tomorrow night.
Rush helped keep hillary in the race this long. Obama is now battered, bruised, and unelectable, and hillary’s hard-core supporters hate him. Obama proved he can’t stand up to a campaign, no matter how much the MSM loves him and lies for him. He’s stabbed his church, his preacher, and his own (white) family in the back, and he’s not even the official RAT candidate yet.
By this, I read:
1) No VP slot for Hillary. 2) Hillary gets a senior staff position -- Sec State (possibly too much work), or Sec Int or Commerce (great for grabbing goodie$).
There has already been a denial from her camp.
Here’s what I’ve said on other threads. I believe the most she will do is “suspend” the campaign without giving up anything. Behind the scenes, her slime team is working 24 hours a day to damage Obama. Her surrogates will be intimidating, threatening, and bribing superdelegates and regular delegates. The only thing that counts is how they vote on the floor at the convention. If Hillary gets something big on Obama, I envision her releasing it a few days before the convention so that it makes the news cycle and causes turmoil. He may not have time for an adequate response.
I think Obama wouldn’t even have gotten this far without “Operation Chaos,” and I think Rush realizes that and is horrified. It gave legitimacy to a loony who would otherwise have been a flash in the pan, skewed the votes when GOPers went out and voted in Dem primaries, and gave Barry much more serious treatment than he deserved.
Also, you all underestimate Barry. He knows nothing about history, nothing about world affairs, he doesn’t even know how many states we have - but he does know politics. He’s ruthless, power hungry, and insane enough to say five impossible things before breakfast with such rabble-rousing conviction that the herd doesn’t even care what he’s saying. They just simply want to be part of the glow. That’s how Hitler got in, btw.
Livius, my FRiend...you have it all in reverse. Without Operation Chaos, Barry would have been crowned and pronounced President by the Drive-Bys without a word on his shady past, friends, church, etc. Do you even listen to Rush? If so, you would know that he blasts Barry every day because he knows McCain and the GOP are too darn afraid to do so.
The house is in the air. Repeat, The house is in the air.
Twister. Twister. Twister.
Cue the Ruby slippers. Cue the Ruby slippers.
Balloons. Cue the balloons. Damn it, I said balloons. Now.
Question if ya have time ...... If Obama gets the nomination. He then names a VP . If something happens too Obama is the Hildebeast brought back as the DNC’s POTUS Nominee or does the VP choice selected by Obama take the lead as POTUS nominee for the DNC ?
How does that work or is supposed too work ?
She’s going to take the fall as soon as she squeezes the Obamination for the money. Rumored to be $40 million in debt.
Forty Million!
Now Shrillary and Huma can return to their nice life living together in DC.
I’m a bit behind on my reading. What is this tape? Do you have a link?
WTF, Over!
Saw that. The “source” is a British paper.
Obama has been laundering his “inevitability” Obamaganda more and more thru Brit papers. Maybe the American ones have cut back due to Clinton supporter complaints.
Does Hillary wound your heart with a monotonous langour?
:`)
I don’t know all the answers, but if Obama is officially nominated by the convention and a VP also, not Hillary but someone else, and then afterwards Obama cannot finish out the election, the Dems would have to choose someone and that could be anybody.
I’m not certain who would make the selection...maybe the DNC made up of state representatives to the national committee...I don’t know. But an official Dem organization would have to make it.
It could be Hillary. Could be Al Gore. It probably would not be whomever Obama picked for VP, unless Obama picks someone more “stellar” than expected.
