Delegates Mad as Hell: Scramble for Floor Vote

 

Clinton Delegates are pissed. The Clinton National Delegate Network, a grassroots movement of delegates is on the streets of Denver collecting signatures from Hillary delegates. This eleventh hour effort is being organized to ensure that delegates who were elected to represent the voters of each state can and will vote for the candidate they were pledged to.

The DNC and Nancy Pelosi, the Chairman of the Democratic Convention, are doing everything in their power to make sure that does not happen. With Obama’s flagging support, according to the polls, running neck and neck with McCain, they are very worried that Hillary will get the nomination if a roll call vote takes place on the convention floor. That is why they are making the delegates have a secret hotel vote, instead of the floor vote that’s been done since forever. The hotel vote will purportedly take place on Wednesday morning, August 27, 2008.

However, there is a DNC rule that says if 20% of a candidate’s delegates sign a petition for a roll call vote, it must happen. This means that Hillary needs 826 of her delegates to sign this petition. I visited their headquarters along with BettyJean, Pagan, Hill08, and BrendaLynn. As we set out on our mission, we got three signatures in less than one block. They headed for the Pepsi Center to collect more, and got about 40 in an hour, and I came back to Puma Headquarters to blog. Last word I got was there were over 400 signatures gathered.

Pagan reports that he talked to a delegate who originally supported Hillary. The delegate declined to sign or divulge the delegation he was from. He said he would vote the way his state party told him to vote and that Terry McAuliffe had instructed them in how to vote. When Pagan asked if he’d mind sharing what that way of voting would be, he also declined, and then just turned his head and refused to engage in the conversation anymore.

Delegates have reported to us that Obama supporters are stationed outside of each delegation’s room with clipboards, ready to make sure that once again, despite their best efforts to represent their constituents (approximately 12,000 voters per delegate in the case of primaries, and 585 in the case of caucuses), that Hillary delegates and voters are ROBBED of their democratic rights.

As recently as this afternoon, we knew that the hotel vote would take place in each delegation on Wednesday morning, and that Hillary would have a special luncheon with her delegates at 1pm. Rumor had it that she might release her delegates then.

However, we have an unconfirmed report coming from someone inside the Pepsi Center that Hillary Clinton will make a special announcement tonight during her speech. Although I’m ever the optimist, call me paranoid: Will she try to pre-empt this grassroots effort by releasing her delegates tonight?

I can’t even imagine the pressure she is under by party leadership. We even heard that President Clinton’s speech would not be televised live in prime time.

Oh my, is the DNC running scared or what? We need divine intervention. If you’re a praying person, give it your all.

HILLARY AND CHELSEA LOOKS BEAUTIFUL

#18 rtr4hill on 08.26.08 at 10:47 pm

#20 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 10:48 pm

IT’S SOO GOOD TO SEE HER AND HEAR HER SPEAK, BUT I REALLY WANT TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES

#21 slyt2 on 08.26.08 at 10:48 pm

Bills gonna make me cry..crowd keep cheering MO looks piss*ed

#22 Leosroar on 08.26.08 at 10:48 pm

I am not “on the same team” as Obama and I will not sit on the sidelines. Looks like it’s “Plan B” - McCain.

#23 LivingGrace on 08.26.08 at 10:48 pm

MO is NOT smiling!!!
Bill doesn’t look too happy either.

#24 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 10:49 pm

SAW MICHELLE’S SMIRK, TOO! NASTY!

#25 go_Ohio_Lady on 08.26.08 at 10:49 pm

Pumas are a single party with a single purpose…Hillary for President not Obama.

#26 hillfan4mccain on 08.26.08 at 10:49 pm

I will put up with 4 more years to get Hill if I have to.

#27 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 10:49 pm

very nasty look on michelle’s face. i hope somebody gets it on utube

#28 andy85719 on 08.26.08 at 10:50 pm

What is she saying? I am a McCain supporter, am about to cry and I am not even watching. I hear reports that Michelle is biting her lip and scowling.

#29 sharpclaws on 08.26.08 at 10:50 pm

BO IS failed leadership.

MO hates. Ugly inside.

#30 MsBinMD on 08.26.08 at 10:51 pm

orange color: color meaning … Lady luck’s color is orange. … Wearing orange during times of stress, or shock can help to balance your emotions. …

#31 doctorate on 08.26.08 at 10:51 pm

Hillary is adored and now the whole world knows it!

#32 cconnell on 08.26.08 at 10:51 pm

the shade of orange really makes her stand out against that blue background. It is like the color of the rising sun–maybe the metaphor of promise…

#33 Flowerchild2 on 08.26.08 at 10:51 pm

Hillary looks beautiful. Love that color. I am crying. And yes, Joy, in fL, I agree.

#34 mpdamon on 08.26.08 at 10:51 pm

We need another political party. This one no longer represents us.

#35 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

She said “No way, No how… No McCain.” I thought for a minute she was going to say Nobama. lol

#36 LivingGrace on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

I’m gonna cry…….been holding it back all day, but no more.

#37 ABW4HRC on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

She will be our President…

#38 scarolina on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

did you catch that in her opening she said she was a proud american - (not like MO)

#39 hillfan4mccain on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

Orange: tint of color of puma (cat) coat.

#40 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

She knows how many states there are

#41 doctorate on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

She is talking to us right now!

#42 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

What was that laugh from Bill? Not the expected reaction to that statement.

She knows how many states we have! She should be POTUS!

#43 Lara08 on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

HC looks great! Her short intro was also moving (very little BO in it). HC: “…a proud supporter of BO.” Sorry, not me. HC is still awesome though.

#44 sharpclaws on 08.26.08 at 10:53 pm

It’s obvious that she should be the nominee.

#45 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.26.08 at 10:54 pm

#35 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 10:52 pm

Maybe Bill laughed at that statement because he knew that’s what she really wanted to say!

#46 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 10:54 pm

GENTLEMAN NEXT TO BILL WIPING AWAY TEARS, WHILE SHE TALKS ABT. STEPAHANIE TUBBS JONES.

I FEEL LIKE CRYING TOO!

#47 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 10:54 pm

A moment of silence for Bill from Arkansas and Stephanie Tubb Jones….great people

#48 jennforhillary on 08.26.08 at 10:54 pm

#35 jody in florday lol!!!!!

Hillary looks wonderful!!!

#49 Melipal on 08.26.08 at 10:54 pm

This is so hard to hear.
She has to homage the recent dead, as nobody else would.
As long as she does no release her delegates tonight.

#50 OnlyHill on 08.26.08 at 10:54 pm

It Looks like Bill said as Hill come on stage “I love you ” a couple of times. I have tears in my eyes. I’m so proud of Hill but as soon as she mentioned the selected ones name I turned off the set.

HIL-LA-RY!!!

#51 LivingGrace on 08.26.08 at 10:55 pm

We aren’t buying it…….

#52 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 10:55 pm

Call me delusional, but I am going to choose to believe that her REAL message was what Chelsea said. NOBO’s team probably wasn’t monitoring Chelsea as tightly.

#53 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 10:55 pm

Sounds like she should be POTUS…

#54 tennaseepuma on 08.26.08 at 10:55 pm

Im balling my eyes out…………What a classy lady,she has my vote always!

#55 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 10:55 pm

NOW SHE’S ON!

MAYBE SHE HAD TO GET THAT OBAMA STUFF OVER WITH!

#56 Leosroar on 08.26.08 at 10:55 pm

Hillary has so much class - talking about Stephanie Tubbs Jones and her family….. Now she sounds as if she’s still running — talking about the values and policies she ran her campaign on….

#57 FLgayGuy4Hill on 08.26.08 at 10:55 pm

SHE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES…

#58 Sunshinelvr on 08.26.08 at 10:56 pm

I hate this..I wanna do-over!!!

#59 redraz9 on 08.26.08 at 10:56 pm

MO Hates Hillary, you can see it on her face.
I want to reach through the screen and slap her!!!!!!!!

#60 LivingGrace on 08.26.08 at 10:56 pm

Hillary for President!!!!!

#61 EWard on 08.26.08 at 10:56 pm

MO and Biden do not look happy. I don’t care if she releases her delegates, BO is going down in defeat.

#62 NewOrleansPuma on 08.26.08 at 10:56 pm

no bama ever, hillary…never….forget it….

#63 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.26.08 at 10:56 pm

#67 tillerylakelady on 08.26.08 at 10:57 pm

I will never support BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. I will vote for McCain, and again for HILLARY in four more years period.

#68 sandbag on 08.26.08 at 10:57 pm

Michelle Obama looks like she’s sucking on a lemon.

I guess we won’t see that on the news tomorrow . . .

#69 ABW4HRC on 08.26.08 at 10:57 pm

I know I’m not voting for any Democrat except Hillary

#70 hillfan4mccain on 08.26.08 at 10:58 pm

Do they have Unity signs?

#72 FLgayGuy4Hill on 08.26.08 at 10:58 pm

WE ARE IN IT FOR REAL A REAL PRESIDENT NOT OBAMA

#73 Sunshinelvr on 08.26.08 at 10:58 pm

why doesn’t she stand up for herself??

#74 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 10:58 pm

“people who feel invisible” LOL they are so stupid if they think they can censor people as smart as the Clintons.

#75 doctorate on 08.26.08 at 10:58 pm

I was in it for HILLARY!!!

#76 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 10:58 pm

“people who feel invisible” LOL they are so stupid if they think they can censor people as smart as the Clintons.

#77 MsBinMD on 08.26.08 at 10:58 pm

She must be planning to be President, because he surely not going to do the things she is talking about.

#78 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 10:59 pm

SHE ASKS WHY WE WERE IN IT!

I’M IN IT FOR WHAT WAS RIGHT, AND HONEST, AND NOT STOLEN! WE DO NEED A PRESIDENT THAT UNDERSTANDS, AND OBAMA ISN’T IT!

#79 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.26.08 at 10:59 pm

We are in it to save America now. We were in it for all those things she said BUT BO will not deliver!

#82 FLgayGuy4Hill on 08.26.08 at 10:59 pm

I cannot stand MO!!! SHE looks so negative

#83 mpdamon on 08.26.08 at 11:00 pm

Obama is a disgusting piece of d****. McCain in November.

#84 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 11:00 pm

LMAO. Listen to her and look at MO!

#85 Leosroar on 08.26.08 at 11:00 pm

Her heart’s not in it; it sounds canned, or should I say “obotamized”?

#86 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 11:00 pm

B0 is no President Clinton!

#87 NoMoreInFL on 08.26.08 at 11:00 pm

Only Hillary would speak of the other one…he would never speak like this about her!

NOBAMA…NOW OR EVER!

Hillary in 2008!

#93 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.26.08 at 11:01 pm

She’s making the delegates think again about who the real viable candidate is!

Yeah, a CLINTON did it before!

#94 TrishfromCanada on 08.26.08 at 11:01 pm

Hillry just sold out america

#95 TrishfromCanada on 08.26.08 at 11:01 pm

Hillry just sold out america

#96 BigCatLover on 08.26.08 at 11:01 pm

I think they’ve convinced her that she can get more of her agenda done with a democrat in the white house than a republican.

#97 EWard on 08.26.08 at 11:01 pm

Hillary

You sold out! BO is a cheat and a fraud.

#98 NewOrleansPuma on 08.26.08 at 11:02 pm

Bull…it is getting so deep, I need boots.

#99 Ergot4Hill on 08.26.08 at 11:02 pm

How can we profess to support Hillary but at the same time not listen to her admonitions to us—admonitions that if we really support what she stands for, that we have to support Obama?

Are we saying we know better than her?

I have a headache from this, fellow PUMAs.

#100 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 11:02 pm

OBAMA COULD ONLY HOPE TO GIVE A SPEECH LIKE THIS!

#101 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 11:02 pm

B0 wouldn’t even keep his promise to Hillary about helping to pay off her campaign debt…

#102 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.26.08 at 11:02 pm

OK, we’re into gag fest now!

#103 LivingGrace on 08.26.08 at 11:02 pm

No Unity….not gonna happen tonight!

MO is running people to McCain!!!

She did NOT sell out america. BO & MO did that!!!!

#104 redraz9 on 08.26.08 at 11:02 pm

NOBAMA>>>>>>>>>>NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#105 freddiebrown on 08.26.08 at 11:03 pm

Crowd is electrified. Why can’t this strong wonderful person be the President ? It just blows my mind.

#106 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 11:03 pm

Does the BO camp really think we’re buying this? Does he really think we’re this stupid? I know Hillary gives us more credit than this.

#107 yellowMcpuma08 on 08.26.08 at 11:03 pm

No way - No how- NOBAMA

#108 LivingGrace on 08.26.08 at 11:03 pm

#111 KENDALBLUE on 08.26.08 at 11:04 pm

actually mo is in awe of Hillary. she is taking notes.

this is terrible. Hillary is OUR PRESIDENT

I need a drink

#112 cconnell on 08.26.08 at 11:04 pm

well she is certainly hitting on all the dnc cylinders–praising mo, jb and jill b…i guess she had to do that, but she also hit it out of the park when she reminded us that bill was a great president…

#113 Lara08 on 08.26.08 at 11:04 pm

HC’s delegates know better. They will push for a roll call vote tomorrow. HC’s speech won’t help BO in the polls! Nothing can.

#114 maxgrader on 08.26.08 at 11:04 pm

Did I hear negative vibes from the crowd when attention by Clinton was directed toward Biden?

#115 hillfan4mccain on 08.26.08 at 11:04 pm

Thats a long list of $hit to be done, hope BO is taking notes. How ’bout Back off Barack and let Hillary take over.

#116 deenj on 08.26.08 at 11:04 pm

How could anyone listen to this speech not want her as President. Hillary Clinton the people’s president.

#117 redraz9 on 08.26.08 at 11:05 pm

Hillary is only saying what she has to. Are you going to fall for it? I’m not!

#118 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 11:05 pm

“struggle for the right to vote”… “found the strength to fight….”

#119 Leosroar on 08.26.08 at 11:05 pm

#122 Susie1945 on 08.26.08 at 11:05 pm

Did you see Bill saying I love you, I love you, I love you to hillary before she started speaking?

#123 Melipal on 08.26.08 at 11:06 pm

I don’t know. It makes me sick, but I wouldn’t want to be in her shoes. We don’t know everything that is going on in there. She showed she’s strong and a fighter. Maybe it is too much pressure on her. She has given so much… let’s give her space to act and let’s see what happens.
She knows she has the people on her side.

#124 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 11:06 pm

Is she telling us to keep going?

#125 TrishfromCanada on 08.26.08 at 11:06 pm

#128 Melipal on 08.26.08 at 11:07 pm

No way!!!!

#129 NoMoreInFL on 08.26.08 at 11:07 pm

Hillary in 2008!

#130 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 11:07 pm

As much as I adore her, I’m not voting for him.

#136 EWard on 08.26.08 at 11:08 pm

The Democratic Party has lost their moral authority by endorsing Senator Obama.

NO WAY!

#137 Sunshinelvr on 08.26.08 at 11:08 pm

#138 EWard on 08.26.08 at 11:08 pm

#139 LivingGrace on 08.26.08 at 11:08 pm

Right ON!!! Finally someone mentioned our suffragist anniversary!!~!!

“We’re not big on quitting!” That’s a message to US!

#140 Melipal on 08.26.08 at 11:08 pm

#141 redraz9 on 08.26.08 at 11:08 pm

Listen to this - the right to VOTE!!!! That women found the strength to rally, picket, and to fight!!!! Did you hear that????

#158 maxgrader on 08.26.08 at 11:11 pm

Rumors will be rumors because they are sooo immature.

#159 snowtiger on 08.26.08 at 11:11 pm

Well that was quite a speech

#160 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 11:11 pm

If you disregard the references to NObo, it sounds like she’s saying, “don’t give up the fight.” maybe i’m delusional…

#161 hillaryistheone on 08.26.08 at 11:11 pm

Go delegates!!!!

#162 jennforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:12 pm

HILLARY 2008!!!

#164 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 11:12 pm

Minimal endorsement of Obama on Fox (Kristol)
She said what she had to say, and no more….

#166 snowtiger on 08.26.08 at 11:12 pm

Seems to me she doesn’t like quitters very much. :)

#167 BigCatLover on 08.26.08 at 11:12 pm

She set the stage beautifully for her comeback, make no mistake.

#168 slyt2 on 08.26.08 at 11:12 pm

I don’t understand this everything she said was what she believes in she damn well knows BO doesn’t believe .

Again Bill Kristol is talking and he said it was a generic speech so she didn’t sell us out..

#169 TrishfromCanada on 08.26.08 at 11:13 pm

let the trolls dance on their keyboards and the bots blog their hearts out, they won

and with that, i’m out of here for the night

That’s the way I was hearing her

That’s the way I was hearing her

#173 snowtiger on 08.26.08 at 11:13 pm

I found the reference to women and some brave men rather interesting.

#174 sportsone234 on 08.26.08 at 11:13 pm

FYI, as I’m listening to Hillary knowing she should be president. She mentioned equal pay for equal work. I found a post that originated on HOT AIR in June. No surprise the MSM never covered this.

It states that the Anointed One’s campaign pays its women staffers $6,000.00 less than the men. Here’s part of the article:

Barack Obama has campaigned on the issue of “equal pay”, casting John McCain as a villain for not supporting federal legislation widening grounds and timing for pay-discrimination lawsuits.

Yet Obama may have a fair-pay issue of his own. According to Fred Lucas at Cybercast News Service, women on his staff made $6,000 less than men on average. McCain, on the other hand, has more women in key positions — and the women on his staff average slightly higher salaries than the men:

#175 Sunshinelvr on 08.26.08 at 11:14 pm

I have no candidate if she is not in the race…

#176 pumetta on 08.26.08 at 11:14 pm

Talking about suffrage history, etc made her more important than a Presidential candidate - (Fortune woman commentator)

#177 Caracal Carrie on 08.26.08 at 11:14 pm

Yeah red thats my problem I cant and will note vote Obama but I cant vote McSame either….grrrrrr

#178 redraz9 on 08.26.08 at 11:14 pm

I agree!!!!!!!! 100%

#179 go_Ohio_Lady on 08.26.08 at 11:14 pm

Now the pundits can pick her speech apart while we all keeping working to keep Obama out of the White House!

We are strong and we are one, fight like hell Pumas, we can do this.

Good night and love to all my Puma pals.

#180 normapapuma on 08.26.08 at 11:14 pm

Fox is saying minimal endorsement for BO. Good.

#181 k in the northwest on 08.26.08 at 11:15 pm

No release of Delegates.

Did you see the Looks that Michelle was giving.

They have noticed on Fox that Hillary did not do any more than to say that She supported Obama…Not why or any good comments about Obama….She only said what she had to.

It is not up to Hillary to bring voters to Obama. Remember it was Obama that said that he didnt need us, Florida and ????? and ?????

#182 freddiebrown on 08.26.08 at 11:15 pm

LOVE HILLARY - LOVE HER SPEECH - STILL NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA.

#183 doctorate on 08.26.08 at 11:15 pm

She did what she needed to.

The better she does, the worse for Obama according to Dick Morris.

Plus she outshines Joe Biden - making people wonder even more why she wasn’t picked for VP.

#184 FLgayGuy4Hill on 08.26.08 at 11:15 pm

Trish - she did not give up!!!!!! She did not release her delegates!!!

#185 redraz9 on 08.26.08 at 11:15 pm

176 Caracal Carrie
I can and I will, but I will never push that on someone who is not comfortable with it.

#186 Lara08 on 08.26.08 at 11:15 pm

I still think she has to seem like a uniter so that the upcoming delegate “rebellion” doesn’t seem like her idea. I guess we’ll find out if that was the case in the next few days. The best thing that could happen is if the poll numbers still showed BO down in the dumps, even with HC’s full support. That would rock!

As other people have said, I don’t know what to make of her outfit. She’s not wearing black (as in mourning), so that’s good. She looks like she’s just starting her presidential campaign. Orange is an interesting choice.

#187 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 11:16 pm

And I think MO knows exactly what Hillary was doing and that’s why she was so mad. LMAO

#188 Flasunshiner on 08.26.08 at 11:16 pm

I think her speech means she is not giving up at all, and is showing that she has every intention of becoming the first Woman President !!!

That’s my girl she did what she had to do but didn’t do all she could..
GOD, she is our PRESIDENT….Kendalblue you are so right
Just said it she never took back her words that no where did she say BO is ready to be president…came from McCains camp..

That is what I am taking away from this. If she was really giving it up tonight, she would have released her delegates.

#194 tillerylakelady on 08.26.08 at 11:17 pm

Fox said it was a TAME SPEECH. ha

#195 FLgayGuy4Hill on 08.26.08 at 11:17 pm

Campbell Brown just said - and why didn’t he pick her as his VP???

#196 Headclunker on 08.26.08 at 11:18 pm

Great speach, but NoBama.

#197 kat in your hat on 08.26.08 at 11:18 pm

Minus the endorsement for BO.

THAT was the BEST speech I have ever heard in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have so much to say about it…it was spellbinding….just amazing.

The video in the beginning…wooo boy, that made me cry.

Hillary!!! Obviously should be our President!!!!

#198 slyt2 on 08.26.08 at 11:18 pm

#180 k in the northwest I hope to god Bill O has his body language expert on to read MO’s body lang.

no praise given re. 0’s character, as per Kristol on Fox

#200 snowtiger on 08.26.08 at 11:18 pm

That speech encouraged people to never give up. :)
Ok madame senator, we won’t.

#201 MacAllen on 08.26.08 at 11:19 pm

OMG - FOX reporting that MCCain campaign just issued a response, complimenting Hillary, and pointing out that many Hillary supporters do not, like Hillary, believe Obama is ready to lead. I love it! I’m going to go hunt down the statement for you. . . .

SHE DID NOT RELEASE HER DELEGATES, PEOPLE!!!!

#202 FLgayGuy4Hill on 08.26.08 at 11:19 pm

This just makes me feel stronger about our movement!!!

#203 CasperCat on 08.26.08 at 11:19 pm

NEVER VOTING FOR THAT LOSER BO…PERIOD….THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAVE TRIED TO POST AND I GET AN ERROR ON THE PAGE??What’s up with that??? Hillary We love you and we will fight the fight but, Never will we vote or support the Fraud/Puppet Bo,.,,,,

#204 jennforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:19 pm

I think this helped Hillary…ALOT! That was a brilliant speech! Let’s not give up PUMAS! She is definitely not!!

#205 jenniforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:19 pm

FLLKKKK MO. FLLLLK them all.

I put my MCCAIN for PRESIDENT SIGN in my front yard 4 minutes ago….with PRIDE!!

Hillary did not do what I would have done tonight, but I still love her. I hope that she can still respect herself tomorrow…..i’m not sure where I will be on that issue.

NOW is the time PUMA must go into HIGH ACTION. BO must be defeated and I am willing to go all the way….sign me up, i’m in it to win it ANYONEBUTNOBAMA!!!

#206 Kerri on 08.26.08 at 11:19 pm

When the FUCH was it said Orange was the color of PUMA? Cus I musta been absent that day….
BTW they indicate that the culimnation of the speech was HILLARY’S Acchivelments for the women’s movements!

#207 KarlaforHillary on 08.26.08 at 11:19 pm

Hillary was beautiful and fabulous. I didn’t expect anything less.

I will never vote for Obama. Never!

#208 kat in your hat on 08.26.08 at 11:20 pm

Michelle looked TERRIFIED at first–when she realized that Hillary MEMORIZED her speech, and didn’t need the teleprompter!!!!

Michelle and Biden were terrified that she would flip on them.

LOL! Did you see?? In the beginning?

OMG. Hillary stole the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow. WOW

#209 Blue Blue Gal on 08.26.08 at 11:20 pm

that’s it for me for tonight - sleep well pumes - in the am

#210 snowtiger on 08.26.08 at 11:20 pm

Think about this. CArpathia has to make a speech to top that. NO way even with a teleprompter.

#211 john on 08.26.08 at 11:20 pm

She reminded me why she’s STILL the best candidate for the job. She earn my respect because not once she lied and said Obama would make a good CIC, or that he was ready to lead. I love her for that

#217 Caracal Carrie on 08.26.08 at 11:21 pm

well we know 3 things…

She didn’t release her delegates.

She did the minimum she had to do for Obama.

She made a speech worthy of President.

#220 blondlady on 08.26.08 at 11:22 pm

hillary was better than I thought she could be. What has America done!! There is no way that she will fade away. No, I still will not vote for Obama (who could after seeing the hate on Michelle’s face throughout her speech (except, of course, when Hillary mentioned her). But I will support and stand behind Hillary Clinton as long as I have breath in my body!!

#222 Taffy on 08.26.08 at 11:22 pm

keri—that is when I cursed LOUDLY…the culmination of her career and the women’s movement is NOT Hillary Rodham Clinton PIMPING for the biggest arshole in the world…

BO, read my lips you creep, you will lose and when you do remember that HILLARY WHOOPED YOUR PUNY ARSE!!

#230 snowtiger on 08.26.08 at 11:24 pm

How in the hell could anyone not want that woman as president?

#231 1gypsy4mc on 08.26.08 at 11:24 pm

She still said McCain was her friend - they have “always” respected each other!! She did what she had to do. She did not tell you that BO was the best candidate out there - she had nothing to say about him personally - why should she? He only wants to steal and get credit for all of her hard work!!

Krauthammer said she is coming back!! She did say that the “ceiling” would be broken (didn’t she?)

#232 YesSheCan on 08.26.08 at 11:24 pm

Wow, what a great President she would have made.

It’s gonna hurt to vote for McCain, but there ain’t no way in hell I’ll reward Obama and the DNC for voter fraud, and rigging the primary. That would just give them a free pass to do it again and again.

Hillary, it wasn’t ever about you personally, it was about fair elections and the fight is against dirty politics.

We won’t give up. We’ll vote for McCain, write you in, or stay home.

At least, that’s how I took it.

#236 bythelake on 08.26.08 at 11:25 pm

Hillary can certainly give an excellent speech. But, I’m not buying the unity.

No Way, Nobama/Nobiden

She has not released her delegates as of yet. I think the delegates are certainly disgusted, she should be top billing!

The saga continues tomorrow!

#237 Taffy on 08.26.08 at 11:25 pm

#248 Hillgirl on 08.26.08 at 11:27 pm

Hillary was brilliant as usual. She had to come out to support Obama, but she also demonstrated why she should be the nominee. I still think she is an amazing woman and and outstanding leader. She does show us how to be gracious in defeat and still remain committed to her message. They are trashing her on FOX, but I respect her for what she did. I will never vote for Obama–her speech just confirmed what we all know–he is an inferior candidate to her. So, I still love her, respect her, and admire her. So I say, Hillary 2012!

#249 bruce55555 on 08.26.08 at 11:27 pm

I still can’t stop crying and I don’t cry often.

I love Hillary, I absorbed every single word she said, every facial expression, every move.

One thing, never ever will I be able to vote for NObama.
If not Hillary now then Hillary in 2012.

NObama ’s ship is sinking and nothing can be done to bring it back afloat.

#250 jenniforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:27 pm

#257 SouthJerseyPUMA on 08.26.08 at 11:28 pm

I am so sad to listen to Sen. Clinton step away from what was rightfully her’s~ this election! I will not support NObama!!! Tears stream down my face to think of how she was treated this whole race! tonight when she spoke so gracefully~ so strong~ so eloquently, it made me realize why I am here in Denver! and why I will never vote for what the DNC robbed me of~ my vote!!!

SORRY HILLARY, BUT I CANT HELP YOU ON THIS ONE~ if not you, Mc Cain will get my vote~ :(

#258 GBPuma on 08.26.08 at 11:28 pm

A few thoughts from Hillary’s speech.

Now that ovation and cheering when Hillary came out and they wouldn’t quite is more what a convention crowd is supposed to be like.

Did u see that smug face and those evil eyes Hillary was getting from the Bitchelle………….u could feel them through the TV………

and the women in the audience wiping tears away .

u notice that it may not be her very best speech but a 8….but the few very few times that she mentioned his name…and that she is the ONLY one to mention gay rights along with all the other rights…..After this speech it just makes me want he as PRESIDENT HILLARY even more.

Did u see the cut to Bill when he said “That’s MY wife”…all smiles

Did u see the Black woman that they interviewed on CNN that was so passionate and crying after the speech…she says she will cast her vote for Hillary and in Nov. she says Obama has 2 months to prove himself.

AFTER THIS PURE CLINTON PASSIONATE SPEECH HOW CAN ANY DELEGATE OR ANY PERSON NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY?????????

#259 MsBinMD on 08.26.08 at 11:29 pm

“DNC REMORSE”

YOu bet your A$$ they’re having remorse. They threw away a runaway win for the DEMs.

The fools.

“If you disregard the references to NObo, it sounds like she’s saying, “don’t give up the fight.” maybe i’m delusional…”

~~~~~~~

That’s EXACTLY what she was saying. She knows we’re out there and her delegates are out there… and she was telling them the hidden message to keep on pushing. Don’t let them stop us.

#261 jenniforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:29 pm

bruce :) my heart…I cried so hard I got sick….but I cannot keep crying…

What THEY (MSM, Misogynist, black racists, MO, BO, Dick Morris, Roland, the DNC) did to Hillary is DISGUSTING….

I will get them back by RUINING THEIR PARTY….

McCAIN 2008! I am voting straight republican iN HONOR of Hillary

#262 Taffy on 08.26.08 at 11:29 pm

Imagine Hillary getting nod when bo pushed off cause of lawsuit. Imagine her getting to invite only those she really wants too to her acceptance speech. Imagine true democracy in action and the worldwide coverage of it!! Bigger than bo could ever be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#263 Middle age female on 08.26.08 at 11:29 pm

Hillary sure got a lot more applause than MO. I would guess the BO camp are not very happy at this moment.

#264 kat in your hat on 08.26.08 at 11:29 pm

How many of my astute pumas caught on that Hillary repeated a line from her very infamous PA “Kitchen” TV ad (remember the one showing Katrina, bin Laden, etc)…

If you followed PA closely, you will recall that PA was huge, and that ad meant everything, and winning PA meant everything, and it was the LAST STAND TV ad.

Hillary repeated lines from THAT AD, and I would not have noticed except for the fact that her voice got a lot quieter, and she slowed her words as she repeated the lines. That’s why it stood out for me.

I’m JUST sayin.

ANYWAY, I think Hillary stole the show, and there is not ONE person who can walk away from that and think “oh S..T…that was incredible…hmmm, Obama wrong choice for president?…lol”

#265 1gypsy4mc on 08.26.08 at 11:29 pm

They said earlier that many Hillary supporters did not make it into the convention but didn’t go into detail. Wonder what happened?

#266 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 11:30 pm

DENVER! DOES IT MEAN ANYTHING THAT SHE DID NOT RELEASE HER DELEGATES?

#267 Vonay on 08.26.08 at 11:30 pm

BLOG BIRTH

A new blog was birthed during Hillary’s speech.

Unbroken Circles. http://unbrokencircles.com/blog4/

It’s part of our PUMA circle of blogs. I do most of my blogging right here at PUMAPAC.

This is just a place to post information and discuss ways in which PUMA’s may be a continuation of the Suffrage Movement.

It’s connected with a web site that includes a lot of information about the Suffragists. http://www.unbrokencircles.com

#269 NoMoreInFL on 08.26.08 at 11:30 pm

Hillary knows more than us that they fixed the primary for *61 and as we continue to bring the truth out…he will be out!

Hillary in 2008!

#270 Anna7000 on 08.26.08 at 11:30 pm

Just reposting from downstairs…..

Hillary was brilliant! As my husband said through his tears at the end of her speech, “What an opportunity the Democrats thew away.”

This is what I’ll take away from Clinton’s speech: Her story about Harriett Tubman, to never stop, never stop going, never stop running, even as they’re coming after you.

I know that’s what I’ll do.

How I wish I could be with some of you all tonight. I feel such heartbreak. No doubt the anger will return soon enough….

#271 jenniforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:30 pm

Yes, Michelle looked like the rear end of a donkey…she is one mean SOB…

oh, and when YOU LOSE remember PUMA….

#272 Melipal on 08.26.08 at 11:31 pm

She’s great. She can be our president. Let’s keep on trying. She’s made of steel and is very, very bright. I’m happy that she did not say much about bo and she only said we should unite, blah, blah, for him to be president, but with no conviction and that’s good enough for me for the time being.
Good night, PUMAS. And thank you all of you there in Denver, for all you do. Maybe the results are better than we expect, I want to believe they will be.
Good night.

Did you all hear the NO WAY, No HOW, NOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isnt there a rule about double negatives making the statement Positive…..
this is the way I way I read it

NO WAY NOBAMA would have meant —– she was against NOOBAMA
But since she added another negative

NO WAY NO HOW —– Wouldnt that mean she is for the saying NOOBAMA

#274 sandbag on 08.26.08 at 11:31 pm

The delegate on CNN . . . Price, was it? . . . said it all!! She spoke for ALL of us who have been accused of being Republicans, accused of being racists, accused of being bitter old women . . .

We HAVE to get that video!!

#275 stoney42 on 08.26.08 at 11:31 pm

Hillary is still the one!

#276 freddiebrown on 08.26.08 at 11:32 pm

Did you guys see Hillary’s delegate (African American lady) Anita something…. she was in tears talking about how heartbroken she is that the smartest, best, most talented woman that could propel us into a bright shining world…. she said she is not sure if she will vote in November.

We need to send her our love and kudos for being so brave… she talked for a while.. very eloquent, very brave, very heartfelt, I feel her broken heart.

#277 TLCPUMA on 08.26.08 at 11:32 pm

WOW SHES AWSOME SHE KNOCKED THAT OUT OF THE PARK AND WHAT A CHANCE THIS COUNTRY JUST MISSED !!!
ALL THOSE ZOMIES FOR BO LOOKED LIKE FOOLS CHANTING CHANGE !!!
DID YOU GUYS SEE MO LIPS SAY TO JO AND HIS WIFE WAS THAT OK OMG I WOULD LIKE TO KNOCKED HER TEETH DOWN HER THROAT !!!!!

#278 NoHillaryNoVote on 08.26.08 at 11:32 pm

The speech was terrific. Only reinforced to me why I wanted her to be President.
I still plan to sit out the Nov. election and I still plan to keep talking against BO. There are many undecided voters out there who will need groups like PUMA to outline why BO is not suitable to be President. And we have to keep reminding others of what the DNC, Pelosi & Dean have done and why they do not deserve to be rewarded with a win in November. Our work is not done after this week!

#279 kat in your hat on 08.26.08 at 11:32 pm

@ 263
Not one person who can walk away and NOT think …should she be president??

Also, did you see Bill mouth “I love you, I love you, I love you” in the beginning? (on Fox)

#280 ladylo43 on 08.26.08 at 11:32 pm

I thought Hillary did great. There is nothing she can say that will make me vote for Obama but that doesn’t change the way I feel about her. She will make a great president. She did what she had to do tonight. Imagine what she has been going through all these months. Give her a break.

#281 Caracal Carrie on 08.26.08 at 11:32 pm

OK is the role call thing not going to happen? Or will it be a sham? Do we know?

#282 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 11:32 pm

CARVILLE . . .”THIS IS A REALLY BAD NIGHT FOR HILLARY HATERS!!”

SHE HIT ONE OUT OF THE PARK.

#283 jenniforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm

Hillary is the ONLY one!

#284 doctorate on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm

James Carville on CNN: “This is what a major league fastball looks like!”

#285 redraz9 on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm

They are saying that Hillary did more for the winner than anyone ever has before……Well Duh! She was forced to give the peech of her life.

#286 Anna7000 on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm

I don’t want to sound catty, but I do believe Michelle Obama looks like she has a perpetual chip on her shoulder. Like her husband who’s just not presidential material, she’s no first lady. Sorry, but that woman just looks like she’s got a wellspring of anger, jealosy, bitterness (now THAT’S bitter!) and resentment. Just doesn’t carry herself with the sort of dignity and maturity I’ve come to expect from any first lady.

#287 Kerri on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm

she supports BO, she DID say he needs to be our next president, but what she did NOT do what specifically break down even ONE area whereby he is the outstanding nominee.
I love you Hillary, for toeing that line whithout betraying me past the point I can stomach. For real: Je t’aime.

#288 kids1627 on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm

She is the only one getting my vote

#289 Lorelai on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm

There was no defeat in Hillary’s speech (as I heard it)…she’s in it to win it - and we will be there cheering her on.
But, Anna’s husband took the words right out of my mouth….We threw away a huge opportunity (well the DNC) did…..it’s incomprensible to me and revolting, too!

#290 kat in your hat on 08.26.08 at 11:34 pm

I MUST have that video, the opening video!! It will be on youtube I guess.

OMG. Hillary reminds me why I love being a democrat. ONLY HER.

#291 lisa on 08.26.08 at 11:34 pm

post from jbjd- she is having a hard time gettin on tonight:

PUMAS, I AM OUT OF HERE UNTIL ALL OFFENSIVE POSTINGS I HAVE REPORTED TO THE 3M’S ARE REMOVED AND THE OFFENDERS ARE OFF THIS SITE, AT LEAST THROUGH THE NOMINATION.

#292 Vonay on 08.26.08 at 11:34 pm

Tonight Hillary has done what she had to do. And as Murphy said,

Thank you Hillary, We’ll take it from here.

#293 Taffy on 08.26.08 at 11:34 pm

NOVEMBER NOBAMA NOJOKE!!!!!!!!!!

#294 normapapuma on 08.26.08 at 11:35 pm

GBPuma I didn’t see the CNN interview but I did see on Fox a black person sobbing in someone else’s arms…wrenching~!

#295 jenniforhillary on 08.26.08 at 11:35 pm

I challenge ALL Americans to vote for McCain as a shout out to WASHINGTON that we will not be lied to ever again…

Let’s make sure the DNC does not make America a 3rd world country, let’s get our VOTES and our RIGHTS BACK…

Hillary or McCain….Death before Dishonor, never gonna vote Osama

#296 Lorelai on 08.26.08 at 11:35 pm

oh-oh “incomprehensible”……oy vey….been away from keyboard too long…..

#297 KarlaforHillary on 08.26.08 at 11:35 pm

Rise Hillary Rise!

#298 1voice2stopcorruption on 08.26.08 at 11:36 pm

Did we get the signatures needed?

#299 Henerietta on 08.26.08 at 11:36 pm

MO is a Clinton hater from wayyyyy back. She WANTS to be Hillary when she grows up! Just like Marilyn Quayle, she is all sour grapes when it comes to the most excellent Great Lady. (My dad calls Hillary the great lady.)

I think MO knows Hillary won the election and has not lost the hearts and souls of the true party faithful. I understand from watching CNN this morning that Hillary wrote this speech herself. Terri McAuliffe said she had been working on it to make it perfect for more than a week. She did make it perfect.

#300 Furfle on 08.26.08 at 11:36 pm

I can’t stop :lol: :lol: :lol:

#301 heysandy on 08.26.08 at 11:37 pm

Good night, all. Hillary let herself, us, and her country down tonight. At least, that’s how I’m reading it right now.

I have a horrible headache and am going to try to get some sleep.

#302 jody in florida on 08.26.08 at 11:37 pm

From what I’m seeing on C-Span, there is interest in PUMAs and people are looking at “women’s” blogs… beware of unfriendy eyes.

#303 lisa on 08.26.08 at 11:38 pm

Riverdaughter had a picture of someone holding up the different color pantsuits on her site to decide which one she should wear against the backdrop. I thought she should wear the orange one, and was so happy that she did.

To me, it is similar to when Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded, and she came out onto the stand in a long black robe. She removed the robe and had on a gown of blazing crimson red. It was defiant. It was proud, and it made a statement.

#304 hillaryistheone on 08.26.08 at 11:38 pm

She said “my friends”…I didn’t notice that when I was watching the speech. In the replay, I did!! :)

#305 k in the northwest on 08.26.08 at 11:38 pm

Anna7000 on 08.26.08 at 11:33 pm
I thought Michelle did not look too happy, except when her name was mentioned. At times I felt like Michelle eyes were shooting daggers.

#306 Rancho on 08.26.08 at 11:38 pm

IF Obama does get the nomination, and then does NOT win the election, I hope the DNC looks at this speech and this special inspirational women, and then ADMITS THEY BLEW IT!~

#307 Caracal Carrie on 08.26.08 at 11:38 pm

We’ll Ill try and ask again tomorrow nite

#308 lisa on 08.26.08 at 11:39 pm

DO YOU ALL REALIZE THAT SHE SAID “MY FRIENDS” SEVERAL TIMES? Just like McCain does… she normally doesn’t do that.

#309 Lorelai on 08.26.08 at 11:39 pm

oh - one more thing - excuse me, no telepromptor for the true orator! Rise Hillary Rise!
