Clinton To Suspend Campaign
Washington Post ^ | 6/11/08 | Anne E. Kornblut

Posted on 06/04/2008 9:00:03 PM PDT by writer33

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton will suspend her campaign late this week, senior campaign officials confirmed tonight.

Clinton will host an event in Washington on Saturday "to thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity," according to Howard Wolfson, who did not explicitly state that Clinton is dropping out of the race. But other campaign officials said the event will coincide with her departure, despite her earlier reservations about stepping aside.

I’m going to wait for her speech. I’ve been waiting for this day for ages. I’ll probably throw a party. Hillary Clinton humiliated, having to accept defeat, and the Rats with an incompetent suit as their official candidate.

If only our candidate was someone other than Juan McCain, I’d be thrilled.

Can we finally sing “Ding, Dong, The Witch Is Dead?”

No, because she isn't. The beast will be hovering over us for several more years, plotting, planning, scheming her next move toward her great Destiny.

Well, at least the writers at the Washington Post are reporting that she is suspending her campaign and not officially “ending” it like all the other outlets were quick to spin.

We can’t yet sing “the witch is dead,” but we can hum a few bars of the “witch has fallen off her broom.”

Too many people are getting a to eager to call this over. It’s understandable, but thanks for the voice of reason.

I can hardly believe she’s calling it quits. I thought she’d pull a coup at the last minute leaving osama hussein with egg on his face.

She’s not officially calling it quits. She’s merely suspending her campaign. She still keeps her delegates till the convention. She can still raise money, etc...

As Enterprise says, “we can only start humming the witch is dead.”

I don't think the Clinton Syndicate is brazen enough to Arkancide Obama in a mysterious plane crash, car crash, heart attack or suicide like they usually do.

Just before the convention they will slip some candidacy-ending story about Obama to the ever-complicit media and she will ride into the convention to save the day. It is NOT over.

Hillary: I’m just ‘suspending’ until I get the VP pick or a Kennedy ‘moment’.

I suspect she may still have a few tricks up her sleeve.

Translation: Obama has not agreed to pay off 100% of her campaign debt and give her all her concessions.

Observation: Now we know why obama was UPSET when he was speaking as the presumptive nominee. The msm talking point was the proudness he really looked like somebody who got bad news at a birthday party.

I can't believe he won the whole thing....

I can honestly say, for the first time, I agree with her.
