Hillary Clinton: "It Is Not A Coronation"

MSNBC News:

At a town hall in Eugene, OR yesterday, Hillary Clinton was asked by man in audience who is supporting Obama whether her attacks on Obama were hurting the Democratic Party....

Clinton concluded, "Elections are about choices, and you are supposed to present your case and you're supposed to critique the other case. That is what you do in an election. It is not a coronation. It is a contest. This country is worth fighting for, and I am going to fight for it. I'd rather you be involved and not for me than to be apathetic and not involved."

How much do people get paid to listen to her at a rally?

I thought she was running out of money.

[DoninJoisey]

If Hillary doesn't get coronated, lobbyists are gonna be PISSED.

My wife came up with a good one - she's the Forest Gump candidate. To listen to her speak, she did it all, but just like Forrest Gump, she's a fictional character.

[dawlishgal]

Forest Gump or (my favorite) ZELIG!

[kellygrrrl]

I wonder if the Fat Lady will Sing at The Coronation

[piezoid]

Wow, was that ever some good snark. Wow what a smokin' keyboard! Gee let me cut that so I can use it later. Wow thank you, thank you.

It was funny to listen to Hilary saying she is running a 50 state campaign yesterday in Montana. But once she gets back from those red western states, its the same "I am the nominee because I won the big blue states that matter, NY CA and MA" Obama is winning delegates because he is winning states, primaries and caucuses in the 50 states.

[kellygrrrl]

here's my prediction for CA - record numbers show up to vote for Obama. Just my feeling.

[gallo146]

Definetely it is not becoming one, the crown is being stolen by the pledged delegates to never be placed over wannabee Queen Hillary

[halyscomet]

Interesting choice of words Hillary used, especially since she believed SHE deserved to be "Coronated" by now.

Let's hope her Huckabee Run comes to an end soon!

[2008andbeyond]

She needs to be diagnosed. There is some unhealthy stuff scattered around in her brain.

[ChimpmasterDJ]

If it's not a coronation, then perhaps you shouldn't have run as if it were a coronation, and now continue to run as if it were a coronation being unfairly taken away. Oh, and the constant aggressive lying really doesn't help either.

[IslandGyal]

Sorry, not part of the Hil-liar-y demographic; I can actually use spellcheck; it's coronation.

[IslandGyal]

No cornation for the Hil-liar-y!

[memoryaid]

Everybody STOP! You got the wrong person! Stop the coronation! It's not right! It's supposed to be MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

memoryaid -- just great work! Awesome! Thanks for these links.
Everybody, have a look at these.

[Grannysue]

It's not a coronation until I'm crowned Queen!

[Mojane]

Alice in Wonderland Queen of Heats.

Hillary is right. It is not a coronation. Nor was it a coronation. And it won't ever be a coronation. For Her. That's tough because now she's going the lose the five million dollar deposit she put down on Westminster Cathedral.

[slow2]

RThM,
And, they borrowed it from her very own private account; in the Caymans...

[rojo7449]

If you aren't already a Republican, you should consider it.

[RThM]

Hey. You have no proof. And that was not her husband carrying the suitcase off the launch from from Dubai. He was at a spa on the Caspian Sea taking a petroleum cure. Besides, they would have sent Chelsea because she refuses to answer any questions when she comes through Customs.

[vsign]

Obama really wants a coronation. I have seen that from the beginning of his being in the national news. Everytime there was a question for him to answer to voters and the American public, he dished us and pointed his finger and blamed the person asking the question.

I do not feel Obama has any like for us. I think, in time, we will grow to dislike him. He may be fancy and flashy to start with - but he talks down to us. He is way over his head. The questions are going to keep coming. His answers are evasive and academic and will become dictatorial. He has already demonstrated no qualms in getting media personalities fired (Imus). His pattern will continue. He has no good answers. He will just keep getting people fired and giving big speeches.

[vallon]

Congratulations! You've described Bill Clinton to a tee.

[debwarot]

You can say, "I think, in time, we will grow to dislike him" but I predict he will be a great change agent as President. Wanna bet?

[Pammy1151]

Gee you sound like a person who doesn't care much for black people.

[IslandGyal]

It's called projection, and in your case it maybe a third party case of it.

[RThM]

Will someone call a medic, please! Vsign's head has stopped working and he/she/it is showing acute signs of politico-cerebral spin syndrome. If immediate help is not provided he/she/it will soon be found doddering blindly about in the Emperor's New Clothes, bumping into real objects and babbling, "Which way is out? Ickes? Penn? I can't seeeee you! WHICH WAY IS OUT?"

[wndrwrthg]

the he/she/it thing, would not that translate into... sheit?

[slow2]

RThM,
Quick! Follow the Dunkin Donuts, to the...kitchen sink!

"I have to tell you there have been some things, believe it or not, said about me by his campaign. And you know, I don't take any of it personally. I don't take [any] of it seriously."

[ohioangel]

"Shame on you Barack Obama!"

Nah, she didn't take it personal at all.
