Denver Vacancy: 100s Clinton hotel rms avail, no longr nded

June 17, 2008 |  4:58 pm

According to TMZ.com, the now-deceased Hillary Clinton presidential campaign had optimistically made hundreds of hotel room reservations for the Mile High City for the Democratic National Convention at the end of August.The skyline of Denver where Democrats will hold their national convention in August

This was to be the coronation, remember?

Alas, there won't be hundreds of Clinton campaign workers needing rooms because there's no longer a Clinton campaign and they're all fired. And, anyway, her campaign is more than $20 million in debt.

So, the report says, she's sent out tons of e-mails to supporters, other campaigns (gee, which one is left?) and organizations trying to find takers for their guaranteed room reservations.

Too bad the rodeo's not in town.

(UPDATE: A Clinton campaign spokesman, Jin Chon, now says this report is incorrect and the rooms are not available. So don't bother calling for any.)

Hey, would you quit with the insults already. Those 50% of Dems who voted for Hillary are a big part of why we're going to win next fall. They voted for the Dem candidate they consider to be our best choice. They care about fixing the mess Bush and the Repubs have given us and they deserve our respect.

Just because they disagree on which candidate is best doesn't mean they're not on our side in the long term. We're all on the same team, and your insulting reference to strong supporters is not needed or warranted. Lay off.
