How desperate is Hillary Clinton? She's shipping in Boston residents to attend rallies in New Hampshire!
The Clinton campaign sent out a robocall on Sunday afternoon to registered Democrats around the city of Boston urging them to attend a rally in Manchester. While the call revealed the time of the event, it did not reveal the date! It turns out that the event is for Monday night in Manchester [not Sunday, as I had earlier reported. I will correct the video later on today]. Boston Mayor Tom Menino recorded the phone message for Clinton.
Interestingly, Menino does not identify himself in the phone message and it cuts off the beginning of the message. Menino's garbled English speaking style isn't evident but I would pay to hear how many times he had to record the message for Hillary.
But the larger point is this: What kind of political amateur hour is it over there? No mention of the date in the recording, just the time? My friends in Boston who tipped me off to this and allowed me to record the audio from their phone answering machine assumed the rally was Sunday night [as did I, from listening to it]! It was only after I checked Clinton's schedule a day later that I realized that this event was on Monday night.
One of them said, paraphrasing, You know all these Boston people. Go to the event and let the national media know that none of these people are from New Hampshire!
So, if you see the coverage tonight on television, and there are thousands of people, in an effort to duplicate Obama, Edwards, and McCain crowds, to make Hillary look like another "comeback kid" [or "the Comeback Girl"], you know where those people came from.
Update 2: According to media reports, Menino shipped in 200 of his campaign organizers to assist in the final two days. Other Democrats around the state received calls from Clinton, requesting their attendance at the rally. About 3,000-plus people were in attendance at the rally. Former Dem chairwoman Kathy Sullivan, a Clinton supporter, claims there were about 4,000 people. Again, how many were from out of state?
