Comments on: Clinton Campaign Gets Pulled Back In

Washington Post: Just When You Think They Might Be Out, N.Y. Senator's Campaign Shows Resiliency Again

[onceagirl]

Excuse me...I am forgiving my fellow WASP women for voting for Senator Clinton....they know not what they do!

[blkpresident]

Hillary-Steinem ''08?

America can do better than this. Wonder who they would tap as Secretary of Defense, Jane Fonda?

[relee42]

Actually Hillary and Barack were divided by only about 9.3% points which rounds to 9%. That means that if 4.7% of her voters had gone the other way, she would have lost. She actually lost support as time went on, but only Hillary can call that a huge double digit turn the tide rout.

[mrtutto]

Hillary''''s new slogan is " Why can''''t he close the deal?" Someone should remind Hillary that they are running for the office of the President of the United States and that they are not some used car salesmen. Keep counting those imaginary delegates from Michigan and Florida. If there is one thing that America stands for, is that We are a nation of Laws, and Michigan and Florida broke the Democratic laws. The Democratic Party is not going to show the rest of the country that they will break their own rules."If we had the same system as the Republicans, I would already be the nominee...." yet another Clinton scenario for winning the primary. Do you think that you can make any other points as to whether the superdelegates should back Hillary ? Why did the media fail to chastise Ed Rendell " There are some people in this State that will not vote for a black man" but they vote for someone who channels Truman and said " we can totally obliterate Iran" By the way that wasn''''t McCain who made that statement... it was Hillary. I did not say Clinton, because you may have understood it to be Bill Clinton.... Hillary won by 8.5 points and not 10

Unfortunately, whether Hillary keeps stating that she is winning the "big" states that she needs to win in November it don''t make it so. She is running against another Democrat in these "big" states. Most Democrats will probably support her in Novemeber, but no Republican will vote for her no matter how much they don''t like McCain, and she will split the independents which she needs to win. Obama will get Republican votes, the Democrat''s votes, and a huge percentage of independents. So if you want a Democrat elected, then I believe you should support Obama.

Only Idiots with No brains and fooled by Clintons are voting for them.
Yes, it will take some time to overcome "house hens" and stupid, who never read a word.
We are not in Zimbabwe. We will overcome Idiots and dishonest Monster.
America goes ahead, not back.

[truth-hurts]

Hillary will be the next President.

Its really so simple.

McCain can''t win because of Bush and

The Super Delegates will not take a chance on Obama.

Hillary Can''t Lose.

... Why can''''t she close the deal in a state her family has been working for 70 years!!???!!!For Obama to come in, with just 6 weeks of exposure, and whittle off half of Clinton''''s former lead is impressive,... Only Hillary would take a down hill, losing, behind in every category campaign and say "The Tide is Turning"...

Take another sip of that Kool-Aid. If you do not think that this latest big loss by Obama in a big swing state is not troubling to the super delegates, think again. If the trend continues, after all the primaries have been completed, Clinton will have overtaken Obama in the total popular vote, Obama will have a small lead in elected delegates, neither Clinton nor Obama will have the 2025 delegates needed for the nomination and the superdelegates will have a difficult decision as to who they should support. The biggest thing that Obama will have going for him after the last primary (and this is the dirty little secret that Democratic Party officials and the media will not talk about) is that the supedelegates will back Obama so as not to alienate Obama''s black supporters this year and possibly for years to come. They will give their support to Obama even if it means losing the election in November. Why else would major figures in the Dem. party (Kerry, Kenedy, etc.) back Obama and, along with the Media, since early January, relentlessly try to pressure Clinton to drop out?

Agree. On top of losing 10-13% of her former lead, the Clinton machine has been in PA for 3 generations, but could not close the deal with power win she claimed was coming. When polls showed her slipping to Barack she started with the "nice to win", then a "Must Win" tone!!! Why can''t she close the deal in a state her family has been working for 70 years!!???!!!

For Obama to come in, with just 6 weeks of exposure, and whittle off half of Clinton''s former lead is impressive, especially in light of the deep Clinton machine that failed to deliver a strong win.

Only Hillary would take a down hill, losing, behind in every category campaign and say "The Tide is Turning"... But tall tales are specialty - just like the "Sniper Fire"...

[michael0004]

Only Hillary can take an expected win by 22% - turn it into a 10% win, and claim a HUGE victory. Last night changes nothing - she is still too far behind in pledged delegates and the tightening of the popular vote will reverse after North Carolina on 5/6.
Pennsylvania is overwhelmingly White, Older, Blue Collar, and Catholic - everything was set up for her to hit a grand slam homerun - she only managed a single with 1 RBI.
The only difficult pieve of all of this is those that support Hillary will be unbearable for 2 weeks, then they will be compeltely deflated on 5/6/08.
Enjoy it while you can - hard times are coming for the Clinton campaign.

You ought to be hired by the media, with that kind of spin. A 10 percent win by anyone else against any other candidate would be condidered a landslide regardless of how much money was spent by the loser. But throw in the huge bundles of money that Obama spent in to the huge loss, and it makes your argument absurd. As to Obama''s poor showing among white, older blue collar workers and Catholics, you make a strong case on how Obama may be unelectable in November.
