Clinton campaign: Hillary would win in a landslide if the election were tomorrow
The Hill ^ | November 15, 2007 | Klaus Marre

Posted on 11/15/2007 12:11:12 PM PST by Hillary4Penetentiary

Mark Penn, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) chief strategist, said Thursday that the Democratic front-runner would get 360 electoral votes if the election were held tomorrow and she faced former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R).

Penn, in a campaign memo, said the results would be similar regardless of which of the top Republican candidates Clinton would face.

Ahead of Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate, the memo is a rallying cry for Clinton supporters. The former first lady has undergone her first major crisis in the race following a shaky performance at the last debate.

However, Penn paints the race as Clinton holding steady atop the polls while her Democratic rivals have to resort to “aggressive personal attacks.”

“The voters are looking for someone who has the strength and experience to lead, and little has changed in the last few weeks outside of the massive media coverage of the attacks,” Penn stated

...but she has to get through the debate tonight

What is Penn basing this on besides his delusions? The polls all show Hillary running even or slightly behind with Giuliani. Penn's an idiot. His prediction of 25% of GOP women voting for Hillary has been totally debunked. This arrogant prediction already is. But keep up the overconfidence Mark. It will serve the GOP well.

Hillary's victory requires two things: a presumption of inevitable victory, which Penn is attempting to reestablish, and a third party candidate to split the vote.

Ever wonder where all of the cash flowing into the Ron Paul campaign is coming from? Wonder no more.

Easy to say.

Her campaign’s chief message seems to be, “Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight. Hillary’s a heavyweight.

“So, you’d might as well vote for her, even if (heaven forbid) you don’t much like her.”

Resistance is futile. The Republicans might as well not nominate anyone, I guess, and spend the money on Congressional and state races.

This is pure fantasy. Hill’s negatives are polling at over 50%. She can win the way her husband got in, with under 50% of the votes and a third party entry.

They are counting on the fact that name recognition alone, will win Hillary the presidency because most of the voters are totally uninformed and know absolutely nothing about the last debate or any other debate.

Hillary’s victory requires two things:

1. Willing suspension of disbelief

2. Electorate with the IQ of a warm day in Point Barrow......

Everyone here at FR needs to register as a poll watcher. I’m sure the senatrix’s workers have already counted all the fake ballots they’ll be stuffing into the boxes in preparation for election day.

Polls of hypothetical GOP vs rat matchups are worthless at this point since the GOP is so bitterly divided right now.

Bottom line is this: If its a 2-way race, Shrillery won't beat anybody. If its a 3-way race, Shrillery will be unbeatable.

OMG, you’re scaring the hell out of me now because we already have number 2 as the 06 midterms showed. #1 isn’t far behind since the country already gave these 2 dopes a willing suspension of disbelief in the 90s.
