NE and WA caucus on Saturday; when will Hillary plan her strategic cry: tonight or tomorrow?
60-40 says tonight.

Btw, McAwful is a moron. Was on TV a bit ago pumping up Hillary in those states--something about running a Bob Kerrey ad or some nonsense and travelling to Seattle. Does she really want to look like she contested those states? They're about as tailor-made for Obama as two states can be. She'll likely lose in both places badly, with results mirroring Feb. 5's comparable Colorado caucus.

2. True, but she didn't get the bump she wanted with it on Feb 5.
She might want to do it earlier this time.

3. doesn't need to she has our senators rooting for her
in WA. From the polls Obama is ahead but I have no idea what pull our leaders will have. Two big rallies tomorrow and i am going to look at how many attend each since its the same town.

21. Hillary may choose to adopt that motto, if she makes a move to seat the Florida
and Michigan delegates, since all candidates agreed that no delegates would be awarded from their primaries. We will see if it is more important to stick with the party or "do anything to win" the nomination and fracture the party.

25. Yeah, those people shouldn't have a vote.
Meanwhile, Obama's "movement" is all about Obama, not the party or the issues. He proves it when he says that his supporters will not vote for anyone but him.

43. All of our candidates agreed "those people shouldn't have a vote".
You don't find it self-serving for the one that won those votes, later changes her mind. If she called for a new, open vote, that would prove her intentions to me.

Playing the victim has worked out pretty good for Hillary.

10. I think she'll hold off until March 3rd....
Can't pull it too often.... After she loses the next 9 contests this month, she'll cry on the eve of Ohio/Texas.

"Please save my campaign tomorrow.... or somewhere a puppy will die. *sniff*"

13. Cantwell and Murray have endorsed her in WA
Don't think for a minute that Obama is locked in Washington, I don't think he is. Nebraska though, I don't know what kind of help Kerrey would bring in terms of organization, but I don't think she can win there. Still, she has to look like a candidate to stay competitive.

29. Nobody is talking about Cantwell & Murray
They have an organization of women they can rely on. I'm just worried that we're taking Washington for granted and not putting the effort there.

Michelle is going to be in Spokane too, btw.

34. I sent them emails and haven't heard back at all
about them voting with who ever wins the vote in the state. I told them we voted for them and want them to respect our wishes. I heard nothing back and that was last weekend. Then I heard this morning on a blog from someone supporting Hillary that Patty Murray sent out email to her supporters.

19. That's Cantwell & Murray's problem
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 05:22 PM by newmajority
She ain't winning this state. And God help any Hillbots who get in my face in person the way they do on this board. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make the rally. Hopefully either C-SPAN or TVW (local version of C-SPAN) will film it.

27. I wouldn't have thought so either
Until I saw that Patty Murray endorsed her just a few days ago. Maybe that's why they don't think they have to put much money into the state, Cantwell & Murray are doing all the heavy lifting for them. ???

I bring it up because I don't want to get surprised and I haven't heard anybody else mention anything about what they're doing in Washington.

30. Well, somebody's putting money into the state
All of a sudden, there's a misleading Hillary "health care" ad on TV every 15 minutes. You know.... claiming her plan is universal health care, rather than mandatory corporate Romneycare. I doubt people will fall for that bullshit, but you never know.

22. She already made her play....
It isn't the cry...she's done that twice... it isn't the snub.... it isn't the "they are calling me a racist" line either... It is a new technique. The "my supporters rallied me back from being broke...even though I am not broke" game.

so I don't see why she'd start now.

This thread makes DU 4.28% dumber.

37. You've fallen for the MSM spiel, I see.
Instead of crediting Hillary's debate performance before the New Hampshire primary, the spin has been that her showing some vulnerability is what gained her votes. I guess if you hear it enough, you'll believe anything---as long as it makes your candidate look superior.

42. I'm out here in NE, and while not sure which way the caucus'
will go, I'll be at the one in my city.

From what I gather at the college and from locals, Obama has a lead, and while there is no GOP caucus, everyone out here can't stand bush, and McCain is no better. NE might actually go blue this year, the GOP has nothing, and they know it.

Crying towels are flying off the selves...:D
