Is this snark?

about getting behind the nominee of the Democratic party.

This was shameful.

she wants to fight fo the VP slot.

will be interesting, to see, how hard she pushes for it and if she gets it.

Thanks, Jerome, for the call-out for unity.  It's not before time for all of us.

I am an Obama supporter, and don't begrudge her not dropping out.  But why hold this kind of rally to say....nothing.  It's not like it was held as a victory speech in SD.  She just wanted to get her equal air time when the networks were going to cover Obama.  I just don't get how this helps anyone.

$$$$$$

She's fundraising.  That's it.

$$$$$$

Calls to donate will resonate so she can soak up ten million in the next two days, after which she'll concede.

$$$$$$

It's unfortunate, because I thought highly of her.  She shot herself in the foot tonight.

$$$$$$

It is over.  He has the delegates.

$$$$$$

   of course. she wants people to continue to tell her how great she is and how she really won the election.

  Fantastic!!

That's more than a tad hyperbolic, Jerome.  She seems to be leveraging for the VP slot.  It will be interesting - I don't know if this is a great negotiating tactic, but then, if I was an expert on this stuff I wouldn't be here.

As an Obama supporter, I'm *really* disappointed in the tone she's taken so far.  She whipped her audience into a frenzy.  That *does not* help us achieve the goals we all should be fighting for.

Denver?  More trying to sully the nomination because of MI/FL?

This is not a dig at all at Clinton supporters.  I have complete respect for your support of her.  I just think she missed a major opportunity to help the Democratic cause tonight.

Tough to unify when certain leaders tell us to stay divided because they haven't decided what to do yet.  But seriously, take your time. (Snark).

she looks radiant. Excellent speech. Even though I want her to drop out, i instinctively started clapping at "no decisions tonight!"

nice.

I should clarify, I don't begrudge her not dropping out so that she has leverage in discussions, and so she's prepared in case a really ugly skeleton is found in Obama's closest before Denver.  I certainly would have preferred that she drop out, though.

after all the negativity 24/7 on TV, with Daschle and McGovern against her in SD, it better be Obama /Clinton if we wanna win.  My opinion, fwiw.

Unfortunate, inflammatory speech.

All of the votes are counted, wheter she agrees with the RBC or not.

What else is left?

It's going to be embarrassing to see just how far in debt the campaign is at the end.

That speech was worth it just for the exploding heads in the thread below. I wonder if people can make bigger asses of themselves in this one.

Time to unite.

I was sure she'd do the classy thing tonight -- Hillary Clinton is such a political animal.

But the race has been so close.  And, as Moe Udall once said "the only cure for Presidential ambition is embalming fluid."

The pill's got to be bitter.  I hope she can find it in herself to swallow soon.

"Of course, we've heard it before, but its worth mentioning again that the whole entire election depends upon unity happening right now within this very blog."

Thank you for proving that snark isn't always bad.  LOL.

What a disgrace.  She's lost the race.  She wants money.  Nothing more.  

Shameful.

IT's really quite simple. The conversation can go as follows:

Barack, I will be on the ticket in November, the American people will have an opportunity for me. It can either be as an independant or as your VP. I await your decision

since late March on tips for Obama volunteers in communicating with Democrats who don't like Obama. They are going to need to be gracious to help unite the party.

Looks like I will be posting that piece sometime in the next few days.

I think that's a disgrace what she did. Really wrong for the party and for Obama. Just ridiculous and it's so ironic that Hillary supporters request unity while insisting on ripping the party apart.

This is the night when we begin the race to win the white house and change the country and wider world. What an arrogant way to ruin it all.

Hmm. (I guess it's better skipping to the part about ) Let's kick McCain in the bum.

Wow, nice McCain speech tonight. Nice diversity in the "crowd," too. Yikes.

pathetic. sick. disgraceful.

Is that why she's hanging around?  (I'm not saying there is one -- maybe she's waiting to see if there is one.)

Fox just called it.

If you took all the people who voted for Hillary and put them in room one and all the people who voted for Barack and put them in room two which room would have more people?

Hillary can take it to the convention  if she wishes (Popular vote is not a meaningless argument); Barack will do well not to insult the people in room one

It's over. The long primary is done. Obama wins Montana - and the nomination.

No mention of the numbers, delegates, etc. Largely still a campaign speech. I can say nothing at all good at this moment. As Jerome predicted, my head is about to explode. Consequently, I'm leaving here for the evening. Seems the only smart thing to do. If I was presumptuous, I could write a certain prominent Clinton supporter's top of the rec list diary for the morning, but I'll let her do it.

is the only head that should explode. Hell, I'll even watch the Obama channel 1 more time to watch it, especially if Tweety joins him!

I would find it very difficult for Obama to take her on as VP. The entire election will be clip after clip of his VP candidate saying how terrible Obama is.

That is not a pretty sight.

Hopefully unity can happen, but this is making it very difficult I think.

She had a chance to be gracious and once again she proved she doesn't care about anyone but herself in the end.

It was an odd, ungracious speech, but who knows what goes through her head?

Let's get this behind us; the primary is over and we need to unite

My respectful tip of the hat to the rational Clinton supporters for good jousting and a tough match

[Lanny Davis] said he's doing it on his own

So. Who's going to launch the "HILLARY FOR SUPREME COURT" petition?

The woman has no shame.  

Okay, even if I think her speech was a bit combative, I'm re
