AP: Hillary is a 'deluded also-ran'

http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080508/NEWS/80508007">Clinton stays in race



OUCH!

:hurts:

fabricated rightwing cr@p. :)

After all they were her biggest cheerleaders for quite awhile. Now that the gambit is starting to fail they attempt to change places to try to be free loading front runners they always were. It's more a face save than a strategy

I don't think any spinmeisters could pull off that mass delusion. The reality would be too frightening. "Mommy, who's that little blonde man with a mullet?!"

Pathetic.

She was a fierce competitor and she ran a hard campaign. To deny her the historical significance of her campaign would be a disservice. Let's let her bow out with respect. If she chooses to run scorched earth in her last weeks, the only effect it will serve is to diminish the incredible accomplishment she has made. I hope she won't. Time will tell.

I wish there were more of you here.

A continued primary is endangering the financing of Congressional campaigns

Let's hope she figures it out soon! It's sad that so many others have already written her off. She's becoming a HUGE JOKE! Is she stupid? Or, at some point is going to start to care about her legacy?

with a whip

you don't want to see Blackjack Bill when he's aroused -- if you catch my drift.

then I wouldn't care if she ran until the cows come home.

But, it's the lies hilary won't stop telling that is messing her up.

I imagine no one on DU is falling for this unless they want to , but I am so tired of no one in the m$m correcting these points.
Edit to add: And thanks, Sandi_4_Edwards, please add your own.


1) "Clinton was the underdog in Indiana"
She said this again this a.m., when it's not true.

http://politicalmaps.org/indiana-primary-maps-may-6-200... /

Indiana’s primary on May 6th is a pivotal primary providing Hillary Clinton a final chance to derail Barack Obama’s path to the nomination and offering Barack Obama an opportunity to clinch the nomination. If Obama beats Clinton in both Indiana and North Carolina on May 6th, then Clinton will be left without a reason to stay in the race. Clinton is favored to win Indiana as the demographics resemble Ohio and Pennsylvania, however Indiana is expected to be more competitive.


2) "Clinton won Texas"
No she didn't, and everyone needs to stop saying that!

Delegate update: Obama wins TX
Posted: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 10:12 AM by Domenico Montanaro


From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
NBC News has allocated the remaining nine Texas caucus delegates, 7-2, in favor of Obama. That means the Illinois senator has won the most delegates, 99-94, as a result of both the Texas primary and caucuses.

Obama now leads by 129 in the overall delegate count, 1637-1508. Obama leads by 162 pledged delegates, 1415-1253. (There remains just one delegate unallocated from Democrats Abroad.) Clinton leads among superdelegates, 255-222, per the NBC News Political Unit count.

Also note, the Obama campaign has passed around that it has picked up two delegates in Mississippi, showing Obama with a 20-13 lead. NBC News' count remains 19-14 for Obama so far.


And 3) "Clinton has more popular votes"
Again, NO! The difference is even greater since Tuesday, so don't buy into this.

Clinton's Path To Victory Slipping Away

snip//

Clinton’s arguments that she can still win have largely evaporated after last night. In the popular vote, Barack Obama added more than 230,000 to his overall total in North Carolina, compared to the 20,000 Clinton won in Indiana. Even if Clinton and Obama were allocated votes from the disputed contests in Florida and Michigan last January, Clinton could still find herself trailing in the popular vote lead.

...and not news. I hate that the lines between news and opinion have been blurred, especially among "professional" journalists and publications.

Could you imagine if one of them were still in the race?

They want her out. Rightly so, in this case—it's been over since Super Tuesday.

It took the media this long to catch up. They love a horse-race!

she had "cover"..Now they are onboard, and when they takeit on, she's DONE!!
