By cancelling all of her appearances tomorrow, Hillary conceded.

If there was EVER a day when she needed to have her face all over the media, it would be tomorrow.

If she wasn't "giving up", she'd be on the Today show, Morning Joe, Good Morning America, etc.


She's allowing Obama to be the ONLY face America sees all over the morning shows tomorrow.


She's giving up.

Russert: Clinton Cancels Morning Shows
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0508/Russert_Clinton_cancels_morning_show_appearances.html

I imagine Russert has good sources. I think he's the first tonight to report Clinton reached into her own pockets to loan her campaign some funds over the last week, too.

It's not like Hillary to shrink from morning appearances. I imagine she's taking a day off to work on "The Big Speech."

3. According to her campaign
she did NOT cancel appearances tomorrow, and in fact, is going to a fund raising event in DC and the traveling press corp is invited. Nor did she cancel her morning talk show appearances as those were "never firm to begin with".

And the spin continues.

6. Face it
If she'd won big, she'd be plastered on every morning show she could make time for. As for the fundraising event, she's in debt and needs all the money people will be willing to throw at her.

11. Link?
So she's skipping the morning shows to go on a "retire my campaign debt" handout tour?

Seems unbecoming of the Senator.

17. She could ask Mark Penn, before asking seniors on fixed incomes.
I get the whole "retire my debt" thing, but I'm surprised she's unwilling to go on the Morning shows and declare victory.

It's just not like her. I sense a "I'm suspending my campaign" speech coming on.

26. She's got the rest of her life to collect to pay off that debt
it won't be a problem.

I think it sucks that you guys have to ascribe lousy, shitty motives to absolutely everything she does.

5. If she is not conceding, that was a major PR blunder. Everyone is now talking about
how she has lost it and is giving up.

16. Rule of thumb: If you have to tell people you are still relevant...you aren't.

31. Nope. That's not it.
Not that I'm fluent in Lakota, but that particular phrase was already quoted in some other thread tonight.

This one translates to " How do you say in Lakota?"

14. Technically, Edwards never conceeded either. His campaign just "wound down"
I suspect Hillary may do something similar.

24. Spreading lies? I don't think so, I heard
the reports also. They said she canceled. If there's lying going on it is the Teevee people.

25. FYI: They "suspend" campaigns so they can take donations and wrap up. Otherwise it would be "ended."
A subtle but very important difference especially if you're in the hole.

27. She has no choice. What she going to do. Go on morning joe and chat about getting blown out
and have virtually no chance of capturing the nomination?

29. I heard she had appointments with super delegates tomorrow
Someone from her staff called into a news show and told them she had no media appointments tomorrow.
