It’s curtains for Hillary…or is it? “The AP story is incorrect”

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 3, 2008 11:03 AM

Nah, nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye.

Update: Or is it? Terry McAuliffe and the Hillary camp deny the AP report.

Hillary Clinton is prepared at the end of Tuesday evening’s last two Democratic primary contests to cede that Barack Obama has enough delegates to stake claim to the nomination, The Associated Press reports.

The Clinton campaign issued an immediate denial.

“The AP story is incorrect. Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening,” the campaign’s statement reads in its entirety.

    Terry McAuliffe was just on CNN saying reports from AP and others are “completely wrong”. He said Clinton will not concede tonight or even admit Obama has the delegates needed. This story is likely being pushed by the Obama camp in an effort to get the superdelegate surge that has been hyped up for today.

    Dems ripping each other apart on TV.

    Come on, if that ain’t going to happen, what else is there for fun.

    I guess I could fly to Hawaii for a week of fun. But compared to what I had hoped to happen in Denver, that seems to be a deflated balloon.

    Oh well, thats the way the dems crumble.

    “The AP story is incorrect. Senator Clinton will not concede the nomination this evening,” the campaign’s statement reads in its entirety.”

    The way I understand it, she is merely going to concede the fact that B. Hussein Obama has reached the number of delegates necessary to secure the nomination, and not the nomination itself.

    Hillary is alot like Jason from the Friday the 13th movies. No matter how battered and beaten, Jason always comes back. Other anaologies I can think of: Bill is now like Muhammad Ali when Ali foolishly came back in 1980 to fight Larry Holmes. Ali, like Bill, was fat and slow and the fight game had passed him by. Obama was alot like the Larry Holmes of 1980, who was then in his prime and had figured out how to defeat a slow and uncomprehending fighter.
    The only other analogy that works is that Hillary is a little like Ma Barker after the ole gang was broken up but Ma wanted one last heist.

    We’ll see if Bob Beckel is right and the big shoe falls on the Obama campaign. IMO, Hillary is going to wait for that to play out. There have been rumors that she knew of something that would hurt their campaign for a long time and was just waiting for the right moment to use it. I’d say now is that moment.

    If he’s willing to run a campaign that will scare the hell out of the independents he could win. He’s just liberal enough to appeal to them, but his “running a clean campaign” BS isn’t going to offset the pull all the stops that an Obama/Soros campaign is going to be.

    It’s depressing to even think about a Juan Mcain or Barack Hussein administration.

    You beat me to it! I think the AP must have made this up in an effort to discourage folks from voting today.

    This may be yet another reason for Ickes to appeal to the Convention and the supers.

    Now here’s the question: what would be appropriate redress for such a blatant attempt to squelch voting on a primary day???

    Will some supers go to Hill as punishment for Obamaniacs? Will that tape be revealed ???

    If I’m Hill, I go for the jugular. This story is the lowest of the low. What has she got to lose??

    I see, according to the news, that she is open for the VP part of the ticket. I guess she figures that No. 2 is better than nothing. She should stay with being a senator from N.Y., rather than vice-president, if she’s interested in power (her only ambition). The VP job is “the most worthless office” and “not worth a bucket of warm spit”. All that job entails is sitting in on debates in silence, voting in ties if they occur, smiling a lot, and waiting for the President to die. That’s about it. She couldn’t handle that in her greed.
