Amid Talk of the End and Boos From the Crowd, Clinton Carries On

Excerpt -

On what was probably one of the toughest days of her campaign so far, with pundits and analysts of all stripes declaring her presidential candidacy finished, Mrs. Clinton put on her battle face Wednesday and confronted what was at times a hostile crowd at a hastily arranged speech here at Shepherd University.

Mrs. Clinton endured boos when she mentioned her proposal for a gasoline tax holiday, catcalls when she spoke of ending the Iraq war and, most difficult of all, the heckling of her daughter, Chelsea, who introduced her.

“End the dynasty!” a young man holding an Obama poster shouted when Chelsea Clinton stepped to the microphone.

All the while, a smile was fixed on Mrs. Clinton’s perfectly made-up face — not a hair was out of place — and she betrayed only an occasional glimmer of recognition of the exceedingly narrow straits she must now navigate.

Keep going Hillary! The drive by’s are anxious to end
operation CHAOS.

[NurdlyPeon]

She should try to get the VP spot with McCain.

[Names Ash Housewares]

She need to burn Obama as much as possible so he will lose and she can run against McCain in 2012.
Plus she may hold out hope some political miracle will happen and sink Obama. Politics can be funny that way.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

She should try to get the VP spot with McCain.

Don't laugh. He'll probably make her the offer.

[Defiant]

You must really dislike McCain.

“and she betrayed only an occasional glimmer of recognition of the exceedingly narrow straits she must now navigate”.

Pretty verbose stuff, even for a NYT Hussein supporter.
He forgot to mention that it was also a stormy night.

[Pinkbell]

LOL! :-(

[taxesareforever]

Don't laugh. He'll probably make her the offer.

Only if Ted Kennedy turns him down.

[DoughtyOne]

They may not, but I sure do.

[Son House]

Clinton just needs to introduce the Druggie in Obama properly;

I think the Clintons are holding back dirt they have on Obama, holding it back because they rightfully think that releasing it will only backfire on them. But they’ll release it surreptitiously in the general election campaign. And they’ll both be remembering moments like this — Hillary boo’d by dems — when they launch their dirty bombs.

Bombs away, Hillary. Bombs. A. Way.

"Mrs. Clinton put on her battle face Wednesday"

Wonder how many people were immediately turned to stone?

[rrrod]

Folks need to remember this is the Clintons..anything is possible. Somehow, some way she will get the nomination. Dont be suprised to see Obama fold.......

[Fresh Wind]

Time for the Nuclear Option.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

Getting razzed in West Virginia must really be disheartening. Wasn’t that where JFK closed the deal in 1960? It’s also nice to know that the good citizens of WVA didn’t spare Chelsea — “if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!”

Valium? Haldol? Veterinary tranquilizers? Only her doctor knows for sure.

A little correction: That’s where the election was BOUGHT for JFK by his father.
