Hillary to Acknowledge Obama as the Nominee

[Gaspar]

Speech tonight.

But she is refusing to concede and give up her delegates.  What is she going to demand? [}:)]  If she had any honor, she would pledge her delegates to Obama and announce her support for his candidacy.

This allows her to drop her staff but for all intensive purposes stay in the race. . . just in case.  

Obama's move.

Good news for Dems!

[Gaspar]

Now Hillary has just denied the AP report of her concession speech.

I'm telling you, this would make an awesome TV miniseries!

Don't get caught up in her inability to let it go..... http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/06/lipstick-on-a-pig.php

He's come undone.....

Congrats FOTD.  Your man is the candidate.  

Hillary is still holding back her delegates to negotiate with but he's got it.

This is a historic moment for the USA.

While I do not support this particular candidate, I admire his achievement.

AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D912O5FG0&show_article=1

Even if Obama gets only 33% of the vote tonight in all districts, he wins.  So I guess to a Clinton supporter, it still isn't over.  They could still get 64% of the vote, have him assassinated, appeal the bylaws committee, or litigate.  

I bet she abdicates her thrown tonight.  Otherwise the Clinton's have lost all credibility and can no longer try to frame it as "fighting for the people."   The victory party in NYC will be called off due to sniper fire.

He's not MY man....he's America's next Prez.
HIS long strange trip continues.....
Phase 2.....America recaptures the World's admiration.

Why?  Because he's a socialist?

Checklist for winning the admiration of the "world":

1. Activism in socialist organizations in college...check.

2. Close friendships with socialist professors in college...check.

3. Belonging to a church espousing "black liberation" socialist theologies...check.

I see exactly what you mean.

Ip....I don't think your pointy darts are going to deflate ObamaNation....not after having 8 years of a facist imbecile and his neo con puppeteers.
Educated Americans won't be fooled again by false swiftboat imagery.

You know, it's been a looooong time since I've heard anyone throw around "socialist professors and college organizations".  I'm definitely digging that whole retro smear angle you're working.  Though my question to you is, do you think drawing that deeply from the well is going to pay off for your party in the general?  Maybe I'm just not feeling the fear of commies as deeply as I should, because really, those are some hilarious statements.

FOTD, only 20% of the U.S. has as much as a bachelors degree.  Don't let your optimism overshadow your good sense.

Okay, Mr. Obama, When you can really say you are the winner, please remember it is the responsibility of the winner to be gracious and generous and to extend an olive branch to his opponents.

[FOTD]

Thanks Homey. I'll keep that in mayan.

Don't you know by now that Obama is not the type to kick someone when they are down IF they are a fellow democrat.

Dubya/McCain is another type of down all together.

Watch his speech tonight.  He spends a lot of time speaking about that.  

Let's also hope, in the name of conciliation, that Mrs. Clinton decides to stand down honorably and support the winning candidate.

Obama was incredibly gracious to Hillary last night.  He was gracious when he didn't push the 50/50 split for Michigan (which he had the votes for) over the weekend.  Obama is showing what it takes to be a good leader, and how to allow your opponent the opportunity to exit with dignity.  I still have faith that Hillary will do that.
