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.

She can’t dismantle her operation and expect any superdelegates to believe she can reconstitute a campaign quickly enough to win in November.

I read that the recall was for advanced staff in SD and Mt. and PR. Advance people are no longer needed .... until?

Two things: interesting that they referred to her as “former first lady” and not Senator Clintoon. and second, if she were returning to her home state - that would be ILLINOIS!! Not my great state of New York. That sentance should read: “she will be carpet bagging back to New York.”

We picked up on that too.

If the Beast is throwing in the towel it means there’s been a deal made.

Gracias! Hillary was kind enough to provide that great series of boozing pictures, begging to be utilized.

I’m holding out hope that she will announce running as a third party candidate.

I think the tape of Michelle Obama going off on ‘whitey’ will help fill that void...

I wouldn’t count on it.

She killed in PR. Looks like she might also hammer him in SD/ND. If she does, what are the PIGS (Superdelegates) going to do?

Line up behind a loser?

Me too. I’d like to see McCain tap Michael Steele as his VP.
Might be a smart move right now in the present climate.

“Obama has already lined up enough superdelegates to declare for him as soon as the last primaries are done tomorrow.”

Threats of Arkanside have a way of changing people’s minds....

Overheard from the McCain camp:

“Oh crap. Now WE have to campaign against Obama!”
