Hillary Clinton Watch: Suspends Campaign Amid Obama Boos
Senator Hillary Clinton earlier today suspended her campaign for the Presidency.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday suspended her presidential campaign and vowed to “work my heart out” to help Sen. Barack Obama win the White House, but while thousands of her supporters cheered, hundreds also booed, loudly.
After a divisive, five-month battle for the Democratic nomination, in which the former first lady cast her opponent as a political neophyte woefully lacking the skills and experience needed to handle the world’s most demanding job, many of her supporters were not yet ready to let bygones be bygones.
Even though the vanquished candidate warned them to move on because “life’s too short,” many made clear with their boos that they will need some healing time before they can support Mr. Obama.
Hillary “SUSPENDED” her campaign but note:
1. Hillary did NOT release her pledged delegates
2. Barack Obama did NOT accompany Hillary in the announcement
3. Many supporters BOOED Obama during the speech
Hillary went through the motions, made the perfunctory concession speech and will do the “standard” campaigning for Obama. She talked about Obama for about five minutes and her campaign about 25.
There are still the issues of her campaign debt and the Vice Presidency. From today’s speech it looks like Obama nor the DNC will be supporting her in either of these endeavors.
Flap’s take is that Hillary and the Clinton Cabal will continue to undermine Obama behind the scenes and will await an Obama GAFFE.
The race is NOT over until the Fat Lady sings in Denver.

Senator Larry Craig Watch: The Book
U.S. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) is pictured in these police booking photos taken on June 11, 2007. A Minnesota judge on October 4, 2007, refused to let Craig take back the guilty plea he made after a sex sting arrest.
Senator Larry Craig is writing a book which he hopes will be out within the next year.
In a live interview on NewsChannel 7 Tuesday night – Craig, 62 – told Dee Sarton that he is in the process of writing a book on energy – that will also talk about his time in Congress – and the events of the past year.
“There will be a bit of what’s happened in the last year, and the way it evolved,†Craig said. “I think that’s important for Idaho and those outside Idaho who are interested to know.”
He hopes the book will be on store shelves in the next year.
“We’re in the process of putting it together,†he said. “Usually those books take six or seven months to write, and another eight or nine months (to finish).â€
The video interview is here.
The GOP could ONLY wish the book to come out after the November elections. So, Senator there is no rush. Besides, your “Bobblefoot” toys ARE selling well on e-Bay.

Day By Day by Chris Muir June 7, 2008
The last frame, Chris, is what Bill and Hillary Clinton would like to do to Obama. The Clinton MSM Cabal is out in full force to spin Hillary’s “concession” speech.
Unless Hillary breaks anything new, she will NOT release her pledged delegates, will NOT be the Vice President and we will all wait for another shoe to drop against Obama prior to the Denver Democrat Convention.
