<snip>

Senator Clinton's campaign chairman, Terry McAuliffe, said the Kentucky outcome was enough to give top party officials or superdelegates reason to doubt Obama's capacity to win against McCain in November.

"Everybody keeps saying it's over, but Hillary Clinton keeps winning in purple states," he said, referring to swing states that are a mix of Republican red and Democratic blue.

...


Mr McAuliffe turned to no lesser an authority than Karl Rove, President George W Bush's long-time counsellor and a hate figure for most Democrats, to burnish his arguments about electability.

An electoral map prepared by Rove's consulting firm and leaked to the press showed Senator Clinton beating Senator McCain easily in November. The race with Senator Obama as the Democratic nominee was suggested to be much tighter.

1. Isn't Kentucky one of the most conservative states in the U.S.?

3. An electoral map prepared by Rove and "LEAKED" to the press. LOL.

The GOP wants to go up against Hillary; this map was prepared and leaked on purpose - it's how Rove operates. I am repulsed that Hillary's campaign would give relevance to Rove in Democratic campaign.

Rove's mission has always been to destroy the Democratic Party and have the Republicans rule forever. People need to remember that.

4. It's surprising how few Clinton supporters are unnerved by the Rove-Clinton alliance.

5. and ...Rove is in the McCain camp

Karl Rove last week announced that he had given $2300 to the presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain.

Asked over the weekend about the donation, McCain said he has "always respected Karl Rove as one of the smart great political minds I think in American politics," and specifically refused to condemn Rove's hyper-partisan campaign tactics (including his smears against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina race).

7. Talk about "Rovian"

A document is 'leaked' to the press showing Hillary easily beats McCain but Obama doesn't do so well. Do gullible people accept this at face value and say we have to have Hillary to win, or do they think they there is an ulterior motive for this so-called leak? Nobody with any brains (and without an ulterior motive themselves) would trust anything that comes from Rove.
