Comments on: Clinton's election night speech fails to mention election http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/20/clintons-election-night-speech-fails-to-mention-election/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jen, California http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/20/clintons-election-night-speech-fails-to-mention-election/#comment-569446 Jen, California Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:33:32 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/19/clintons-election-night-speech-fails-to-mention-election/#comment-569446 The only thing that got me was Hillary not thanking the approx. 200,000 people who did vote for her and all the other hundreds who helped get her campaign to the people and who came out to her rally to support her. I wish she at least acknowledged them. Then again, it may have been difficult to mention Wisconsin w/out congratulating Barack; it would have been that much more obvious an intent. I don't know. Still, I wish a little thank you worked its way into her speech. :( The only thing that got me was Hillary not thanking the approx. 200,000 people who did vote for her and all the other hundreds who helped get her campaign to the people and who came out to her rally to support her.

What a bore! At least, McCain said something tangible and kept my interest. Hillary, who I will write in if she does not win the primary, is right, it will be another tough election and they will not give up the White House without a fight.

They both bring an impressive list of skill and ability to the table. They both have their down sides that most of you hi-light in raging insults. I can handle it from those of you with way to much time on your hands and an anonymous format to be heard but I'm tired of the media's involvement. They took an innocuous topic like, "gee, did Hillary mention the Wisconsin voters or congratulate Barak?" and turned it into a full artillary attack on Hillary. If anyone is actually listening to talk TV tonight, they also said Barak didn't acknowledge the Wisconsin voters either. Where's that article. I'm a Barak supporter and I'm disappointed that the media doesn't let him stand on his own. They have him walking on water and he's just a man with a vision like every candidate out there. Let him convey that so the hillary supporters and Republicans have no ammunition against his campaign. The negative slamming of these candidates is getting old.

Everytime she loses she makes the same excuse...and on to the next state! Why can't she just be thankful for her supporters in multiple states and be humble enough to not belittle them in her interviews/speeches.

When the MSNBC guy used profanity when mentioning Chelsea Clinton, Hilary was not allowed to react .It was a crime that she stepped up to protect her daughter.But it is perfectly OK for Mrs Obama to come on Larry King and say she is "ticked off" when people talk about her husband. And do you really think America needs a first lady who is for teh first time proud to be an American just last night??? If she has no reason to be proud to be an American then why is her husband trying to be the president? I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what happened to plain on journalism where they report facts - CNN is so opinionated and biased - why not just come out an endorse Obama? Also can CNN air a show on how many so called 3rd world countries have had women heads of state ( like Pakistan ,Bangladesh ,Srilanka,India ) years back.
