Can Hillary Win? Nope!
Posted by roderick on March 23, 2008As the race for the dem nomination looks towards Pennsylvania’s Primary on April 22nd, Clintonistas are forced to ask…what are we willing to do to win this nomination?
It’s a hard choice and they have few options. Mathematically it is all but impossible. It simply can’t be done with the number of primaries left. That means that Hillary must lobby the Superdelegates to vote her way on the premise that she is more electable.
That might have been a fairly valid argument about a week or two ago but now Obama seems to have shown some signs of recovery from the Jeremiah Wright damage. Also, Hillary is behind Obama is campaign funds as well. If the Clintons pull some back channel stunt to get sufficienct Superdelegates to vote for her, and that is a huge “IF” then millions of voters will be outraged, and will likely vote for John McCain and then Hillary still doesn’t win.
In the spirit of honesty, the best thing Hillary Clinton can do now if she really cares about the Democratic Party is step aside and throw her resources behind Barack Obama. That gesture will earn her HUGE brownie points with the dems and many voters who want to mobilize an effective campaign against John McCain. And let’s face it, even as a conservative, John McCain ain’t the most formidable opponent to run against! He’s very beat-able!
Hillary won’t win this election. Not a chance. But if she admits it, gets James Carville and Billy boy to put the ol’ “Clinton-Spin” on it, she can position herself now for the dem nominee in 2012. Her party will appreciate it and repay the favor in the future. If she doggedly continues on (as I know she will) she will only create a disaster for herself and the democratic party. And republicans are cheering because it is just the kind of disaster we need to gain a leadership advantage once again.
Fight on Hillary! Fight on…conservatives are cheering for you! Hee…hee!
