Repost from March 7 - Reality check on media's role in deluding Clinton voters.
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 02:08 PM by blm
I posted this thread on March 7, after I heard the original article written to include the results of the survey of supers was edited heavily to downplay the fact that there was NO WAY Hillary could win.

TeamClinton constantly mentions the SHARED ticket because they KNOW that's ALL they can hope for.


Mr blm's newsroom has the details of a study that surveyed the leanings of all the superdelegates. The study concluded that there is no scenario that Hillary can win.

I don't know when the report will get published, it has been on hold for a couple days now. I expect it to become public soon. TeamClinton knows these facts, too.

Hillary's camp right now is playing a game of pressuring Obama to include them on the ticket or the attacks will continue.

THAT is the character of the Clinton campaign. They KNOW they can't win it, but will undermine and attack the presumptive nominee until they gain something from it.

On edit: I will also go on record and state that TeamClinton is wasting their time with the shared ticket pressure. They say it in hopes Obama's supporters come around to the idea for the 'sake of the party' to stop the attacks.

This was true then and true today.

2. Exactly - and supers surveyed were heavily for Obama though not publicly so at the time.
Clintons had been pushing the divisions in this party to pressure Obama for the VP spot - now they KNOW since the original post that they will NOT be on the ticket and they will blow up the party rather than see Obama win in November. This is entirely about Hillary2012 now.
