My Predictions

Will Hillary mention hillaryclinton.com in her "thank-you" speech on Saturday?

Settled as No

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25021292#25021292

Was not mentioned

Background:

She seems to mention her website everytime she gets on TV.. its as if she thinks we've forgotten her name or something! Will she remind us again during this, her last speech (that anyone will care about)?

To settle as yes, she needs to say "hillaryclinton.com" not just the word "website".

Initial odds are pretty flat since I'm really uncertain -- on the one hand, she always mentions it.. on the other, it seems pretty tacky to talk about your website when you're supposed to be rallying support around someone else.


Settlement details: To settle as yes, she needs to say "hillaryclinton.com" not just the word "website".

"Will she remind us again during this, her last speech (that anyone will care about)?"

At the risk of sounding politcally incorrect at a time when Barack Obama has clearly achieved a major victory: I believe you are referring to the Former First Lady, who is a prominent senator in Congress from one of our largest states, a distinguished member of the Democratic Party, and who is an American "celebrity" in her own right...(since we all have been abusing THAT WORD lately)...

Why -- that puts her right up there with Bo Diddley, doesn't it...?

And Why would you think this will be her final speech that anyone would care about? She is not going to be the presidential candidate this year and she rejoins the ranks of about 300 million other Americans who are not going to be the presidential candidate this year. We have many fine politicians in that 300 million, and her political career is probably far from over with...And YES, she will probably make speeches of note...

This isn't the final speech I will care about. I never cared about one she gave.

Sorry if it sounded disrespectful, I was just being flippant... but you have to admit that she has been pretty much the only thing the media has been talking about for the last couple weeks. It seems there has been more time spent talking about her than the actual two nominees combined. I do believe after her speech the flurry of attention around her will drop back and refocus on the nominees.

Back to the question......

She will mention it. In a slick way. Such as...

"Thanks for all of your support and kind words that you submitted on hillaryclinton.com....."

"Thanks to the millions of voters that supported me at the polls, and to the millions more that voiced their support on hillaryclinton.com...."

"You can find more plans about my plans and charts about my plans on hillaryclinton.com...."

"I am here for YOU! Reach me at anytime through hillaryclinton.com...."

Etc., etc. She'll mention it.

Steph, you may be right. I hadn't thought of that. Maybe the question should have asked how many times she will mention it.
Since the media is reporting that she is going to concede AND announce her support/endorse Barack Obama, wouldn't is be nice to suggest that her supporters go to www.barackobama.com and support HIS campaign? Sounds crazy. <sigh>

LOL @ theonecalledmichael.

"Donations at hillaryclinton.com will now support Obama's candidacy....." Um, yeah. Right. Sure.

@ smidge. I'm sure if she mentions Obama's site, she's going to mention hers first. Hillaryclinton.com will not go away until her campaign debt goes away. Remember, she is suspended, not ending, her campaign. This way, legally she can still collect donations to pay off her tremendous debts.

Oops. Was there a "Will she cry during her speech" question?

My heart goes out to the Clinton supporters ...
It's a hollow feeling to have the candidate you want not win.
I'm pretty sure I've been on the "losing side" more than the winning side, when it comes to "who I wanted to win an election".

Well, I lost this one. $500 gone. Was she afraid of appearing to self-serving?

Too late for that.
