On Saturday, the Obamaniacs (or whatever the press is calling them now) and Republican Party found themselves strangely sharing in a joyous moment. Hillary was going to drop out and endorse Obama. The stake has finally gone through her heart. The death march ends!
Everyone was wondering why she decided to make a non-concession speech Tuesday and then later announced Saturday’s speech because if you’re looking to shed a spiteful, scheming, self-centered image, a delayed endorsement is not the best way to accomplish that goal. But I digress. Hillary scheduled her speech for Saturday morning and the news networks offered full coverage with their anchors for all the political nerds who were willing to wake up on Saturday morning to watch a concession speech. I covered it for PMW, but it turns out I learned nothing interesting (except that I am apparently one of the political nerds; the bastards tricked me!).
She was half an hour late to her speech and I started to get extremely nervous. Oh my God, she’s not gonna do it! Oh no! I knew the Democrats would never pick someone I endorsed. They never listen to me. Is she getting cold feet? What is this?
Well, finally, she got there (and it looked like reporters were staking out her house and following her to the event, I don’t know, but hopefully The Daily Show will look deeper into that). Then she proceeded to speak for six minutes about how awesome she was and how her supporters love her so much and this girl decided to go campaign for Hillary in Pennsylvania instead of going to Disneyland (NERD ALERT!) and a bunch of touching stories about the Great Hillary Clinton.
Then she started talking about Obama and how the Democrats need to elect him. I can’t say she looked natural doing it, but she made a serious case with good arguments. She said “Yes, We Can,” talked about how bad Bush has been, and how the screwed the Democrats are if they lose this year. She didn’t seem happy, but she did seem to mean what she said (which is rare for her).
The question now is whether Hillary supporters will flock to Obama in the general election. According to polls, many of them won’t, but polls also indicated that Kerry would beat Bush in 2004, Obama would easily win the New Hampshire Primary and that Titanic was a great movie. So decide for yourself if this poll means anything at all.
In conclusion Political Mouthwash forgives Hillary Clinton for all the stupid things she did (and thanks her for giving us lots of material to work with). However, if McBush beats Obama, we still reserve the right to blame her.
