TV Nets Preparing for Hillary Concession Tuesday Night - All Signs Also Point To "Adios"
Friends and Fiends at TV Networks In NY and DC | MB26

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.

Maybe we can play “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead”???

I don’t trust the Clintons, I will believe it when I see it, if she concedes. I expect her to say that the fun is just beginning, that while the voting is over, the campaign for the super-delegates will now shift into high gear.

I just don’t trust the Clintons to concede.

I SEE NOTHING, HERE....

It’s the END of the Campaign season.

Hillary can now operate with a MINIMAL STAFF, and spend the next THREE MONTHS picking off Super-Pigs, one greedy bastard at a time.

All the while doing fund-raisers and appearances to pay off her debts.

I’ll hold off on the “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” until she actually formally withdraws. The previous reports of her demise have turned out to be greatly exaggerated.

“Tom Raun is an Obama AP media whore.”

EXACTLY my thoughts.

Obama Disciples DESPERATELY want Clinton to drop out NOW, but I just can’t see her giving up this easily.

I doubt she's done with this race yet.

Even if this proves to be the end of her presidential aspirations, she'll be back again, possible to run as governor of New York.

She ain't dead.

So, what happened to the incredible video that was supposed to come out today and finish off Obama? Oops! Maybe they forgot to release it.

Now that she's got cover, Barack Obama had best watch his back.

The only problem with that is she’d have to expect to keep some staff in place for the general election. She can’t dismantle her operation and expect any superdelegates to believe she can reconstitute a campaign quickly enough to win in November.

Of course, we don’t know that she is taking down her campaign, it’s all rumors now. This happens the day before every primary, so it seems as likely to be an Obama trick to try to influence the primary voters.

Darn. I wanted this to go on until the convention. But at least now McCain can (hopefully) grow a pair and show America who Obama is.

Not going to happen.

McCain only goes after conservatives tooth and nail.

If she steps up to the podium dressed like this...

 

...then you know she's about to quit.

As far as I'm concerned, she can "drop out," "suspend her campaign," whatever, but if something happens to Obama between now and the convention, she still has the delegates to claim are hers. The campaign is over, but she's not "out" until the convention votes for a nominee.

She has been forced to concede. Obama has already lined up enough superdelegates to declare for him as soon as the last primaries are done tomorrow. Hillary has the “choice” to concede and save some face or have Obama announce that he has the commitments of enough previously uncommitted superdelegates to win. Those superdelegates will then begin to state one by one that they are voting for Obama. It’s over. Hillary will drop out before the convention, which will turn into a lovefest.

Nooooooooooo....the fighting between Hildebeast and Obamamama was the only thing that kept my mind off of how terrible McCain is.

Don’t count on it.

This reads like an Obama camp press release and probably is.
Tom Raun is an Obama AP media whore.


Reminds me of the movie “Under Siege 2: Dark Territory” - Everett McGill was terrorist Penn, who was following up with a goon on the supposed death of good guy Steven Seagal’s Casey Ryback:

PENN: When you shot the intruder, did you see the body??

GOON: There was a lot of blood, when you fall of of a train -”

PENN slaps GOON.

PENN: Did...you...see...the body?

GOON: I ASSUMED he was dead.

PENN: Assumption is the mother of all f-—ups!

I won’t believe she’s out until SHE says she’s out.
