just an observation.

1. Actually, Bill's "concession speech" seemed to actually be...
...a stump speech in Missouri that CNN decided to broadcast.

Although I doubt Clinton was wholly unaware he was being filmed in reaction to his wife's loss in SC--but still, it wasn't an official concession speech. I didn't see one being made by the Clinton camp at all...

8. Obama is the guy with Dirty Tricks
The biggest trick was to make people believe the Clinton's were attacking him.
They never actually showed these "attacks" but the blogs and MSM kept pounding
it and people actually believed it!

22. They were attacking him, and their surrogates were working overtime to do so.

32. riggghhht....becasue they wanted to alienate the black voters in SC
I am sorry, but I am so tired of the lemming response to the media. Didn't we learn our lesson with Bush?

It does not help Hillary Clinton to alienate the black community. The facts show that Obama started shouting "racism" with the help of the media and a few well placed surrogates. It is stunning to me that people don't even look at the facts.

The only person it helped to use race is Obama.

5. I heard her my self. Why would you say this. I expect BO
to be dishonest after this past week but why on earth are you making that up. Edwards later said 'may I join with Senator Clinton and Pres. Clinton in .......to BO. It's funny how BO and his supporters seem to forget there are tapes we can check.

25. She conceded in Tennessee with a half sentence in a 90 minute town hall
Bill did a paragraph in a 75 minute speech.

For the Good Folks of South Carolina that busted their butts: She wrote a Press Release.




Sorry...I know you loathe the MSM,but, you indeed, have to watch it once in a while.

11. i don't really care if she or anyone else makes concession speeches
as long as they accept a valid result.

there's so much else to actually determine whom one should support without bothering with this.

18. Nope, the media broadcast a regular rally in order to re-enforce their dishonest portrayal
that Hillary is running on his coat tails. Then they cut her off when she was conceding and announced that she refused to concede.

This is such a disgrace. The worst journalism in modern American history--entering Fox News territory.

23. If it happened before 10:30 Saturday, I did not see one
-A concession speech that is. However, at some point in her stump speech in Nashville she 'thanked' Obama. I'm not sure I would call it 'very grascious', but I suppose it serverd the purpose.

Perhaps she made a different speech that I missed.

But all sides here are just seeing what they want to see these days.

24. No concession speech for Clinton:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22860695#22860695

Jan. 26: Sen. Hillary Clinton gives a campaign speech instead of a concession speech in Nashville, Tenn. after finishing second in the S.C. Democratic primary. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and David Gregory discuss what's up next for the Clinton campaign.


You are correct.

28. She issued a statement
she called Obama. Bill Clinton complimented Obama, and then Hillary conceded in her speech.

What the fuck more do you people want? She didn't lose the General Election - she came in second in one primary.

This fake outrage is ridiculous.

30. Just posted what was on MSN. Call it fake outrage if you will, but
every news page or blog I hit is saying the same thing.
