Hillary Thinks Pennsylvania Is The Next Contest. So She'll Lose Even MORE Delegates In WY & MS
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 11:07 AM by cryingshame
On the Daily Show last night, she said something to the effect- on to next contest in PA.

So once again, she'll fail to contest two states or put minimal effort into it and then claim they don't matter when she comes up short in votes/delegates.

As usual, Obama will put money, time, resources into building organized grassroots movement to serve the Democratic party in states the DLC/Clintons don't give a shit about.

1. And Obama is nipping at her heels in PA
She can't and won't win there once he launches his campaign there in full-force.

8. LOL - smearing by Obama has been standard operating procedure since he played the race card by claim
that she should have control of supporters and that innocent supporters comments had racial insults in them. - all of which was not operative 4 weeks later after it had done its damage and he was facing charges his supporters were liars and smearers, so it was then obvious that he could not be expected to control supporters.

She won't gain any delegates.

4. She has moral claim to nomination if she gets more total votes nationwide than Obama -per O!
Obama included that criteria in his assertion that super's should support him - as he won "more states, more elected delegates, and more total votes"

20. you are the one making claims. YOU post numbers. BTW, Clinton has ignored so many states
and the ones she has managed to win, she merely used pre-existing infrastructure.

She has no "moral" claims to anything.

12. the only relevant claim is who has most delegates as that is the candidate the super delegates
will coalesce around.

So Hillary's fucking spin is meaningless. Except to prolong a contest she already lost weeks ago by not contesting a rather long list of states.

10. Hillary's map only shows the "important States".
That's why they call it "Clinton country"!

11. I saw that and thought what an idiotic thing to say.
All her years of supposed experience and she still doesn't get it. Hillary Clinton - running to be president of some of the states.

13. IT'll make a perfect attack ad for Obama or his surrogates. Hillary abandons 30 states

17. It's the delegates, stupid.
Chuck Todd said this morning that it's possible Barack could get more delegates out of Vermont than Hillary could get out of Texas.

19. That's a good point - she'll just fall farther and farther behind, and a big win in PA is no lock
