Elton for Hillary

elton-john.jpg

Sir Elton John will perform at a solo concert fundraiser for Hillary Clinton on April 9th at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, it was announced today.

The event, called Elton and Hillary: One Night Only, is Elton John's first public solo concert in New York City without his band since his solo concert at Madison Square Garden in October 2000.

"I'm not a politician but I believe in the work that Hillary Clinton does," said Elton. "I'm excited to support Hillary by performing at what will be a truly memorable night."

Tickets will go on sale this Wednesday.

To purchase tickets, go to http://www.HillaryClinton.com/Elton or call the campaign office at 212-213-3717.

      this infuriates me. he's not even American! Come ON… Hillary does nothing different from ANY other politician out there, except Barack Obama, who breaks away from the mold.

      Stop "believing in her change" when she doesn't bring any. She's failed at everything she's ever tried!!

      And what exactly Sir Elton is the work that Hllary has done? No matter how many time you say something doesn't make it true. Hillary's claim to fame is a politicians wife. compare that to John McCain's service to his country. Then again Sir Elton is British no American so I don't tell him how to vote.

Its quite sad actually. But, please by all means, its very profitable for America to continue to populate itself with idiots like yourself.

      Hey, how cool is this!! Elton, even though he is not American, should have an opinion. What America does and who we elect will affect the entire world. The messages sent out by Sen. Obama's spiritual advisor Rev. Wright should be taken very seriously. Wright advised Obama for many years and never distanced himself from Wright until these racist remarks came out. Racism and sexism is alive and well in the Obama campaign. Obama's campaign was banking on his image, a well spoken, well educated African American with little merrit and a hidden past. I'm glad we see his true colors now….

      Re: lisa – Thats not true , many many SUPER delegates to be handed out. They are given to the candidate who is most electable and right now that is obviously Clinton since the racial tyrade by Obama's Reverand has emerged and angered so many Democrats who were inclined to back Obama.

      If democrats want to win they better get Hillary against McCain 'cos Obama is going to be skinned alive by the republicans. You think what his pastor said was bad? Please, Obama's got more serious issues to deal with. Google William Ayers, Rashid Kalidi, Antoin Rezko, Louis Farrakhan or even Obama's cousin (can't remember the name right now). We're talking about TERRORISTs and MURDERERS, Obama's corruption or racism is a little thing compared to these. The guy is evil, if the liberals can't see it, I'm positive the conservatives will show them that side of him.

      Re: NotQuite… – To win the nomination, assuming she beats Obama in the remaining contests (which won't happen) she would have to get 55% (65% if she loses a few of the upcoming contests which is very likely) of the remaining Superdelegates, for one, and, by the way, since March 4th, Hillary HAS LOST 7 SUPERDELEGATES while Obama has gained many. Secondly, their job is to give their endorsement to the candidate who has the most pledged delegates and the majority of the vote. That is Barack Obama. Has Nancy Pelosi said yesterday, it would be very, very unwise for the supers to go against the pledged delegates to vote for Clinton as it would disenfranchise thousands of voters.

      Ain't gonna happen.

      On topic, I think Elton is stupid.

      1.Who cares if he supports Hillary?
      2. The Sr. Queen can't vote anyways, so it doesn't make a diff. if he supports her or not.

      I love Elton John. I love Hillary too!
      Know what is sad? So many blacks feel the Pastor Wright was justified in his hate sermons. How could you condone HATE? I don't believe a thing Obama has to say. He lied about NAFTA. He deceived listeners by using words of others in his speech. He lied about his affiliation with Resco. He lied about how much money Resco made for him. Ironically 90,000 was misaccounted for–and they say Hillary's campaign is ill managed? Why should we believe him now about not knowing his pastor was a racist and anti-American? Give it up now Obama and resign.
