 It ends June 15th
I bolded some stuff to make it easier to read. ---------- McAuliffe's Promise: It's Over By June 15
By David Corn | April 28, 2008 11:46 AM | Permalink | Comments (31)
This past weekend, at a pre-party before the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner, I spotted Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's campaign. As always--at least as always in public--he was in an upbeat mood and greeted me heartily. So, I asked, when does this end?
"June 15," he said without a nanosecond of hesitation.
Why then? I asked. The primaries finish on June 3, he noted, and after that there will be pressure on the uncommitted superdelegates (who now number about 300) to commit to one candidate or another. It should not take too long for these undecided insiders to make up their minds and declare their intentions--even if there are some who would rather not choose between the two.
So all done by June 15? You won't contend the nomination contest beyond then? I asked.
"Oh, I'm confident we'll be the nominee," he said, smiling.
But, I added, on the night of the Pennsylvania election, you said, "We're going all the way to Denver." That suggested, I noted, that Clinton would not yield any time before then. Remarks like that, I continued, raise the prospect of a Clinton backroom operation aimed at winning over both superdelegates and pledged delegates in the weeks and months after the primaries.
"What do you expect me to say?" McAuliffe retorted. "I'm chairman of the campaign." Well, I suggested, you could have said, "We're going on to the next primaries and we're going to keep on winning." He didn't have to use the D-word. He shrugged.
So, I asked, I have a promise? June 15? "June 15," he said. You keep it alive beyond that, I noted, and it could be a nuclear war within the party. (In fact, even if McAuliffe and Clinton succeed by winning enough superdelegates in the 12 days after the primaries to trump Barack Obama's lead in pledged delegates, there still could be an intra-party apocalypse.) He didn't take the bait. "June 15," he repeated.
"Talk to you on the 16th," I said.http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/davidcorn/2 ... er-by.html

Now compare it to the word you used to describe Clinton in the first post of your's I was commenting on. Finally, please quote me using equivalent language in describing Obama.

No. Now, if that can indirectly mean I hate women, that MUST mean you hate black men, thus you are a racist, using your retarded logic.

It has proven to be a very revealing thread about your character, Bodrul. I was surprised to see just how quickly any courage you had in your convictions, completely collapsed. Though, my favorite thing you revealed about yourself is your homophobia, and we all know there is a strong correlation between homophobia and repressed homosexual desires. My suggestion to you is to let go of your fear and be proud of your inner self!

 Re: It ends June 15th
Bodrul, as I said earlier, arguing with Bradley is like arguing with a brick wall.

Bradley, im gonna have to deduce from this your gay-ass has some feelings for me, unfortunately im not gay, though you can believe i am if that helps you sleep at night. And just for some clarification, i am not caucasion - your opening post was quite offensive to me.

 Re: It ends June 15th
People who take offense at the use of quite obvious movie quotes in a (often) sexless, raceless, statusless realm of internet message boards need to get a grip on reality.

Thanx for the back-up, Jeff! Sincerely, Brick Witherberry {Bonus points for anyone who can tell us what group Dr. Lizardo was referring to in the quote...}
