[Hillary] It's Over, When I Say It's Over. Not When Tim, George, Bob Or Chris Say It's Over

It appears the Clinton campaign is still going after NBC/MSNBC for their coverage of the candidiate. This time, they are targeting Tim Russert for telling viewers Tuesday night: "We now know who the Democratic nominee is going to be, and no one is going to dispute it."

Howard Kurtz writes today that Jay Carson, Clinton's press secretary, "fired off an e-mail yesterday to Chuck Todd, NBC's political director. While assuring Todd that he was 'not trying to be a jerk,' Carson wrote: 'Can you think of one good reason we should continue to cart you guys around the country with us given that your network has declared the entire race over?'"

Well, well. Of course, NBC and everyone else pays to be on the flights. And further, NBC was hardly the only network declaring it's over.

ABC's George Stephanopoulos, the same George Stephanopoulos who, because he once worked for Pres. Clinton, has been accused of being cozy with the campaign, made the declaration much earlier than his competitors. But the call went nearly unnoticed because Stephanopoulos said it during the west coast update of World News. At 9:33 ET (6:33 PT), Stephanopoulos told anchor Charlie Gibson:

"There is no math for her to come back. There's no realistic path for the nomination now for Hillary Clinton. Barring some kind of revelation, that drops Obama from the race, he is going to be the nominee." Mind you, that was almost three hours and 45 minutes before ABC, NBC, FNC and CNN called Indiana for Clinton.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I still think she has something on Obama, or she'd have dropped out already. She just "loaned" her own campaign $6 million.

[MuttTheHoople]

YOU GO GURL! I’M WITH YOU UNTIL YOU’RE NOMINATED!!!

[AU72]

Who needs Netflix or Blockbuster when we have this multi-month soap opera playing in real time.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Was it over when the Germans Obama’d Pearl Harbor?

[A message]

I still think she has something on Obama, or she'd have dropped out already. She just "loaned" her own campaign $6 million.

I agree. The Clinton's love money. They wouldn't be giving it up on a pipe dream. Somethings going to hit the Obamarxist that'll take him down for the count.

[kingattax]

does little georgie steponus know something we don't know ?

[roses of sharon]

Hillary and Bill's “War Room” have turned on them for a shiny new model.

My contention for the last 15 years that their supposed war room was a myth.

It was the MSM/Hollywood/Academia's war room all along.

[steve-b]

Carson wrote: 'Can you think of one good reason we should continue to cart you guys around the country with us given that your network has declared the entire race over?'

I would have replied, "Hokay. You don't want to cart our guys around any more; we'll assign them to the Ron Paul campaign -- six of one...."

[HamiltonJay]

Shes setting herself up for ‘12... she either gets the nomination, or she makes damned sure Fauxbama fails (not hard to do) in the general and sits back in the NY Governors mansion and returns in 12 virtually unopposed.

[ElPatriota]

Abosolutely.... YOU STAY IN THERE... Don't let these Demo sissies tell you what to do!

Dont forget girl that you have more 'macho' in you that all those ninnies put together.

:))))...

[Post5203]

Chuck Todd, NBC's political director

O.T. Chuck Todd is a smarmy little pr*ck. Now that I think about it, so is everyone on MesSNBC and NBC.

[Nervous Tick]

>> The Clinton’s love money. They wouldn’t be giving it up on a pipe dream.

That’s a measure not only of how they assess their chances at getting back to the White House — but also at how much they VALUE it.

Last time it paid off for the lowlife grifters to the tune of more than one hundred MILLION dollars.

Why not risk ten million of that at a chance at an even bigger jackpot?

THE CLINTOONS ARE SCUM. TRASH. CRIMINAL. EVIL.

(but I hope she stays in until she as well as Magic Muslim are THOROUGHLY bloody, and their party of vermin is thoroughly trashed as well. Sorry about the riots, Denver.)

[DakotaGator]

hahahaha...this is great! Hitlery is so close to the nomination she can smell it. But she can't grasp it!

I hope Hillary the Witch takes her ego all the way to the Democratic Convention floor, pulls out from her hat every dirty trick , and bursts the whole rotten party open like the disgusting pustule it is! The stench will long linger.

[khnyny]

LOL.

Terrific News,...stay in there and fight.... Hillary!!

[A_Former_Democrat]

Thank you, Sir, for the link . . . may I have another?

[caseinpoint]

She may indeed have that plan but I wonder if she and hubby can keep a lid on their past scandals or keep their noses clean for that long? Especially if the MSM and the Demos no longer cover for them.

[1Old Pro]

Bill can earn 6 million in one speech. Besides, loans get PAID BACK. Now when the donate 50 million to their campaign I’ll say she’s serious.

[Revolting cat!]

I am looking forward to a performance that will put Dr Dean’s famous scream to shame!

[MrB]

My sentiments exactly.

This is such a win-win.

If she steals it, the dhimmirats are fractured.

If she doesn’t, most of the “folks that make America work” will vote for McCain over Obambi.

[SMARTY]

Right. Once Evita and the former ‘Mr. No Pants President’ are no longer the spoiled darlings of the MSM you will be treated to an exact inventory of all the bones in all the closets at the Clinton ‘establishment’... Can't wait! Maybe some people will be shocked, not me!

[popdonnelly]

Far be it from me to get involved in a three way fight between Hillary, NBC, and Obama.

[Question_Assumptions]

The path for her to come back is an Obama meltdown that causes him to sink in the polls the way Bob Torricelli's did before he dropped out of the race and let the corpse of Frank Lautenberg take his place so a Democrat could win. There is a precident for this.

[Boonie]

YEAH!!!!!!!

What you said........

[Spok]

Could anyone, in their wildest, delusional, drug induced dreams, imagine a Republican chewing out the media because they don’t like the coverage they’re getting? The talking heads would have blood shooting out of their eyes and they’d be raving hysterically about the First Amendment. Hillary’s problem is that her lap dog has found a new lap.

[Old Phone Man]

Hellary is gonna quit campaigning when Obama offers her the VP job, then when she gets into office she’ll have him offed......It’s called Clinton politics!

[Ouderkirk]

The Clinton strategy

Deny, Delay, Destroy

Figure deny how you want,

But delay has worked. They successfully delayed Obama becoming the nominee

We will enter phase III after June 4. They will destroy Obama after the voting is done and there is no fear of blow back from voters who have not voted yet, or accusations of dirty tricks pointed at the campaign.

Obama is toast...It will escalate slowly and reach a fever pitch about the July 4th and last for two weeks and slowly taper off into lat July. By then the only choice will be Hillary!

As sure as the sun comes up this will come to pass.

[jennyjenny]

I agree. She’s got the goods on him.

[Doctor Freeze]

$6 million is a small price to pay to position yourself for either a VP slot or as the #1 dem party candidate in 2012 after you have had the chance to weaken the Big O. She is walking a fine line between ensuring that Obama will not win the general election and being blamed for ruining it for him.

[A CA Guy]

Right, and she will do everything behind the scenes to make an Obama run fail so she has a shot at 2012.

[rod1]

This is outstanding. Can we please get Keith Olbermann involved. (Get off your duff, Olbermann). Russert is way too nice (even as a lib). We need some real trash talking and I cannot think of a better, totally rude and crude match-up than Olbermann vs. Hillary. IT could really be fun.

[Dilbert San Diego]

do you really think that there will be strong support for Hillary in ‘12 among Democrats for her to try again?

[TommyDale]

The Smartest Woman In The World!

[Dilbert San Diego]

So for the Clintons, this campaign will never end. The voting period in the states ends on June 3rd, but the political manuvering never ends. I think you’re on to something.

[NeoCaveman]

Terrific News,...stay in there and fight.... Hillary!!

Hang in there. Don't give up the ship. This one's for the girls. etc.

[Senator_Blutarski]

It ain’t over ‘til we say its over!

[HamiltonJay]

Oh yea, the anti-hillary contingent that is the primary reason Fauxbama even exists, will come home to roost tail between their legs after watching their man get pasted in Nov.

Don’t kid yourself, HillBilly is going nowhere. If she does not get the nomination, she will make sure Fauxbama does not win, and leave herself in a solid position for the next election.

The narative is quite simple.. Just like Regan leveraged 76 to get the nomination in 80. For all of Clinton’s faults.. lack of ambition is NOT one of em. If she is not the nominee this time, she’ll make damned sure she’s sitting pretty for next time, and she’ll run virtually unopposed.

[nikos1121]

Larry Sinclair?????

[Uncle Hal]

Watching the Clinton's slowly twist in the wind is giving me much pleasure. I hope at long last the American people will not have to put up with this pathetic couple. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[Miss Didi]

RUSH: Stay in the Race, Mrs. Clinton; Investigate the Undemocratic DNC!



RUSH:...So another pretty phony, another little GQ-type phony is lifted to the top while the woman is treated like a broken-down mule. Hillary Clinton stood by her man in the worst of times. As a working mother, she raised the family; she kept a roof over their heads, 'cause her husband only earned 26 grand as governor of Arkansas. She had to go to the Rose Law Firm. She had to make the six-figure income. She had to put her career on the line with the cattle futures! She had to get to know these assorted and sundry characters like Vince Foster and Web Hubbell. She had her reputation maligned in Whitewater. She was humiliated daily with philandering by her husband that was open and in the public. She still did the laundry; she still cleaned everything up. Every mess, Hillary Clinton cleaned up. After all she put up with -- the lies, the cheating, the lies, the more cheating, the humiliation -- not to mention being dragged from the feminist capital of Wellesley and Yale in the northeast to Arkansas!

What did her own husband do last night? He stood behind her, as though he had been out in the sun all day getting a bad sunburn, and he looked bored. He looked disinterested; he looked depressed, as she faced the cameras vowing to press on after losing North Carolina. He didn't help her last night. He could have had a smile on his face. But he purposely looked forlorn. He wanted to convey with his facial expression the abject depression and disappointment that the campaign was feeling. He talked about himself, ladies, this entire campaign. Never about her. He tried to derail her candidacy with this race card business in South Carolina. Bill Clinton treated his wife's quest like it was just an afterthought, and perhaps even a threat, to his own legacy. And after all the messes that she's cleaned up and after all the humiliation she has suffered; after all the laundry she has done, after raising Chelsea, after consorting with unsavory characters, after going to work to become the family breadwinner; he stands behind her last night looking bored.

What Bill Clinton Was Thinking

"Can you hear me now?"

[surrey]

Maybe some eager young reporter will get and deliver the full story on Huma. Hil has mucho dirt that can be delivered about her.

[montag813]

This is the second run-in with Russert that Hill has had. Recall that Tim started her decline months ago with his tough and persistent questioning over the ill-fated Spitzer licenses-for-illegals plan. She never recovered from that.

Maybe so but me, I can’t see it. This seems to be as taboo as talking about Obama’s middle name. Why didn’t the Annointed One, BHO, go after these skeletons when it would have served his needs? There must be a MAD - mutual assured destruction aka scorched earth.

The clintons will go nuclear on anyone who goes nuclear on them. I don’t claim to know how all of this works, but my sense is that the clinton crimes will never see the light of day.

Just as you can tell a big enough lie and get people to believe you - you can commit a big enough crime and never have to answer for it.

[TommyDale]

Good job. You should ask Drudge for credit... she is still ugly 32 ways.
