Hillary Supporters... You must forgive us for getting it wrong.
Edited on Mon Feb-11-08 03:34 PM by IndieLeft
You know, her excuses for losing in Maine and Nebraska and Kansas and Louisiana and the Virgin Islands.

It's just, you know... there are so many different reasons she gives for losing. It gets very difficult to keep them all straight.

She has a different reason for losing every state. Too many blacks, it's the caucus, too many voters come out, not enough voters come out. Seriously, she uses all of these over and over.

Could the reason she keeps losing be the simplest one?

It's just that more people are voting for Obama.

I mean, that is what it looks like to me. And quite frankly, since he has the popular vote now too, it's not only my opinion, but a fact.

You don't see him making excuses for his losses. But then again, he wasn't supposed to be winning at this point. He was down by 30% a few months ago.

Stop making excuses, and maybe we'll stop mixing them up.

1. So now we're starting threads to gloat over threads bitching about threads.
I suppose it would be too hard to keep all this in one thread.

3. I'm just saying...
You complain when we get soemthing wrong about what hillary said. She says so many diffent things, it's just hard to keep them straight.

She does this over and over and over about all sorts of things.

It's hard to keep it all straight.

2. Most voters and states don't want her to be president. That's the real reason.

4. can you just post a few links
of quotes where you see: "Too many blacks, it's the caucus, too many voters come out, not enough voters come out. Seriously, she uses all of these over and over."
I'd love to read the quotes.

5. They are all over the internet.
Go to any blog and you can read them for yourself.

There are plenty of posts on here every day proving this, and most of them come with links.

8. like this one?
"...a product of a caucus system that favors "activists" and, in the case of the Louisiana primary, an energized African-American community....

Clinton has publicly dismissed the caucus voting system since before Super Tuesday, seeking to lower expectations heading into a series of contests that played to Obama's advantage. His campaign features what many consider to be a stronger and more dedicated grassroots organization than Clinton's.

Noting that "my husband never did well in caucus states either," Clinton argued that caucuses are "primarily dominated by activists" and that "they don't represent the electorate, we know that.""
