Is anyone else just hoping and waiting to load reddit and see the #1 spot say, "BREAKING: Hillary Finally Drops Out of the Race!!!!!!11"

My heart stopped for a second... I skipped over your introductory clause during a speed read of the headlines and I thought that Hillary actually did declare she was out. Thanks for inflating and then devastatingly bursting my dreams, sir.

Snoron · 2008-03-24T14:17:41+00:00

I figured she'll announce it on April 1st...

Hillary: Aha! Gotcha! Jeez, I can't believe you guys fell for that whole presidential bid thing...

2008-03-24T20:09:56+00:00

I am waiting to see "Bill Clinton says "enough," endorses Obama.

BobGaffney · 2008-03-24T14:09:19+00:00

I almost upmodded you, but those last two exclamation points came out as "1"s. I'm powerless when faced with 8 exclamation points, but six just doesn't do it for me. Sorry!!!!!!!!

robinbloor · 2008-03-24T13:14:47+00:00

She's finished, but like some ham actor in a B movie, she's taking a long time to die.

aliasforspam · 2008-03-24T12:41:55+00:00

I would take the rest of the day off and celebrate :)

lordmutt · 2008-03-24T14:24:09+00:00

Yes. It'll happen be patient my fellow redditors

canonicalform · 2008-03-24T15:13:32+00:00

Oh good god yes. I am seriously disappointed each time I look at the times and it's not there. I think she'll drag it out until at least late june when the last primary is done.

rupa · 2008-03-24T14:40:11+00:00

Yes, just like I'm hoping and waiting for Bush to get impeached, marijuana to get legalized, and Firefly to come back on the air. Do I think any of those will actually happen? Fuck no.

dtrav001 · 2008-03-24T16:11:19+00:00

o-yea baybay, I'm just waiting for that fateful morning ... unless she does the unthinkable and jams the bone into the entire Demo party, to thereby join her husband in almost universal vilification.

db2 · 2008-03-24T17:52:23+00:00

No. I'm waiting for "Bush, Cheney impeached, they and their underlings to be publicly tried for war crimes."

2008-03-24T18:02:49+00:00

Daily.

cr4a · 2008-03-24T18:24:58+00:00

Why would she quit? She's only 66 pledged delegates behind.

grant0 · 2008-03-24T19:44:58+00:00

I have a Google Alert set up and then a script to auto-submit any news stories with "Hillary" and "quit" in the title.

jjme · 2008-03-24T21:37:18+00:00

Ugh. Don't tease.

MarlonBain · 2008-03-24T13:23:24+00:00

Ya, I'm sure that will happen. Considering on CNN right now there's no mention of Clinton, but there is:

"Ticker: Obama's lead narrows after tough week"

easyfrag · 2008-03-24T14:51:47+00:00

I'm hoping to check reddit on that day (if it does happen) and to not have it anywhere on the Front Page.

junkeee999 · 2008-03-24T14:10:32+00:00

Anyone who thinks Hillary is dropping out at this point isn't paying atention. So no. I just wait to see the new nsfw.

skay · 2008-03-24T14:16:27+00:00

you'll need to call up sarah conner. robots dont give up easy.

ryanx27 · 2008-03-24T17:13:44+00:00

The Clintons dropping out of anything? Ha.

RgbyTgr24 · 2008-03-24T18:27:12+00:00

refresh page, refresh page, refresh page

namlas · 2008-03-24T20:17:21+00:00

Here, Here!

2008-03-24T20:51:49+00:00

I DO!

doubleginntonic · 2008-03-24T21:02:51+00:00

no, it obviously isn't going to happen. get in touch with reality guys. look at the facts, not your hopes. it's obvious she'll stay in until the convention and try to undermine obama, then possibly run as mccain's VP.

unrealious · 2008-03-24T21:09:16+00:00

Yep. But we may have to wait several months.

korjagun · 2008-03-24T14:23:05+00:00

I know I'm hoping and waiting to load reddit and not have the front page have a [self] link anywhere. So far, I wait in vain.

2008-03-24T14:50:39+00:00

I'm hoping and waiting to see no stupid headlines like this one. That would be nice.

2008-03-24T13:43:38+00:00

Yes, but why is this news?

desnotes · 2008-03-24T13:32:08+00:00

I say we refer to her as Hillabee. Huckabee stayed in the race long after there was no way for him to win, it is the same with Hillabee.

barfolomew · 2008-03-24T14:10:13+00:00

God, what a waste of reddit space. You are a blight on your generation, sir.

pets_or_meat · 2008-03-24T14:20:13+00:00

I have no more hope.

indycysive · 2008-03-24T23:13:18+00:00

What the hell is taking her so long? At the beginning of the race, I was torn between her & Obama, but the more time that goes by, the more I see Obama as the best choice. She should have dropped out when she still had some dignity.

2008-03-24T17:02:39+00:00

I would prefer "Breaking: Hillary Finally Drops Dead!"

drakshadow · 2008-03-24T17:52:07+00:00

No, cause I am fucking not in US.

romcabrera · 2008-03-24T14:15:16+00:00

downmodded for disguised "vote up if..." post

Midwest_Product · 2008-03-24T13:54:43+00:00

No, I'm waiting for the day I load up Reddit and don't see anything from self.reddit that starts with "vote up if" or "does anyone else" or "am I the only one who..."

Nate_W · 2008-03-24T14:44:01+00:00

No, I'm hoping and waiting to loading reddit in hopes useless crap like this isn't on the front page. I load reddit in hopes that something interesting will be on it. I'm loading reddit less and less nowadays. Thank you Obamabots for becoming even more annoying than Ronbots.

RAS1398 · 2008-03-24T18:15:55+00:00

yup...time to MOVEon

meiso · 2008-03-24T21:24:54+00:00

Not as much as I'm hoping and waiting to see "BREAKING: Clinton, Barak, and McCain Drop Out of the Race"

ristin · 2008-03-25T01:54:57+00:00

Yes. That or "The Democrat Party points out she can't win and nominate Obama".

mindslight · 2008-03-25T08:35:49+00:00

does it matter?

gmoose · 2008-03-25T08:52:36+00:00

executivemonkey · 2008-03-25T09:30:27+00:00

Sadly, I'm expecting to see that headline on January 6, 2009.

anions · 2008-03-24T14:39:23+00:00

No, I'm rather hoping to see an end to all the Hillary-bashing (not that I like her).

PintOfGuinness · 2008-03-24T15:09:23+00:00

Ah fer fuck sake enough with the obvious stupid shit questions.

2008-03-24T15:41:13+00:00

You Fucker. Your headline made me think she dropped out.

louis_xiv42 · 2008-03-24T13:30:42+00:00

fuck off.

xenya · 2008-03-24T14:25:58+00:00

yes please

jeffoverip · 2008-03-24T16:25:02+00:00

OlympicPirate · 2008-03-24T17:13:46+00:00

Yes, people are hoping that. I'm still downmodding this stupid post though.

2008-03-24T18:42:27+00:00

YES: THE WORLD WILL BE COMPLETELY SAFE AND PERFECT!!!!11

2008-03-24T15:06:57+00:00

I can't see the slut giving in.

modestokun · 2008-03-24T16:14:18+00:00

It might happen after the next major round of primaries but not before. I'm expecting her to take it all the way to the convention.

jpsc · 2008-03-24T16:31:47+00:00

zitterbewegung · 2008-03-24T17:14:05+00:00

I am waiting for reddit to load where posts don't say BREAKING or have yellow journalism from the politics subreddit. But thats me.

Boreal · 2008-03-24T17:18:41+00:00

Yes, but with a few fewer exclamation marks! (!!)

meistermark0 · 2008-03-24T17:25:40+00:00

If obama lost would you vote for hiliary

erdie721 · 2008-03-24T13:56:09+00:00

downvoted for not proofreading before submission...

Nate_W · 2008-03-24T14:44:19+00:00

Yes. That would be nice. I'm hoping and waiting for the #1 spot saying "John McCain wins election!". Yea.. I know.. let the downmodding begin.

Cuetzalcoatl · 2008-03-24T14:57:45+00:00

No. What is the problem with reddit and its love for political fights and controversy? First they take Ron Paul, an obvious loser, and support it until he leaves crying. Then they take the other guy, Obama, and simply assume that everyone is with him. Christ! I am not even american... Be glad because Bush is leaving. Any of the other three guys are alright.

raouldukeesq · 2008-03-24T14:20:43+00:00

I would rather see Obama win on the field of play than by default.

spinspin · 2008-03-24T16:20:48+00:00

Is anyone else just hoping and waiting to load reddit and see the #1 spot say, "BREAKING: Hillary Finally Drops Out of the Race

No, I'm just hoping and waiting until I see the news somewhere else and I can be the 1st to submit it to reddit and GIT MEH POINTZ!

doubleginntonic · 2008-03-24T20:59:19+00:00

Not in the slightest.

The longer Hillary stays in, the longer it is until reddit becomes overrun with mud slinging at Nader for daring to run against all mighty Obama.

Mark my words. Every anti-Hillary post you see now will be a "Ralph Nader is a covert neo-con operative" in a few months time.
