NYT TUESDAY: CLINTON INSIDERS, DONORS FEAR ELECTION 'SLIPPING AWAY'
DrudgeReport ^ | Feb 11 2008

Posted on 02/11/2008 4:22:45 PM PST by COUNTrecount

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her advisers are increasingly concerned that she could be on a "precipitous losing streak" in nomination contests this month that could "endanger her competitiveness in the upcoming votes in Ohio and Texas" on March 4, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Tuesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Reporter Patrick Healy was polishing up a story which details how Clinton's losses last weekend in Washington, Nebraska, Louisiana and Maine have thrown her campaign "into a state of anxiety not seen since her drubbing in the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3, with major donors and supporters saying for the first time that they are deeply worried that the Democratic nomination may be slipping from her grasp."

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Hillary made some underhanded, under the table deal so she comes out ahead of Obama.

After she Clintonizes all the super delegates and gets the Michigan and Florida delegates seated, she will still win.

Reminds me of that scene in Missouri Breaks when Brando whispers to Jack Nicholson, “You know what woke you up? You just had your throat cut”

she is so widely disliked, for good reason, I am surprised she has done as well as she has.

Inclined to agree. She and Billyboy did't kill all those opponents and bribe all those crooks and come all this far just to watch some newbie upstart come out of nowhere and steal it all away.

Huh-uh. It ain't going to work that way.

Anybody betting against the Klintoon machine is crazy. I know today it’s looking not so good but Barack Hussein hasn’t seen anything yet.

It’s a setup for the ‘miraculous comeback’ stories next month. Half the unnamed sources are probably her flacks.

I'm not so sure it even matters anymore. After the circus of the last Clinton administration, I find myself wondering what the hell anyone could possibly say or reveal about Barack Obama that would ever disqualify him -- in the minds of any Democrat these days -- from serving in the White House.

Huh-uh. It ain't going to work that way.

. . . and yet if Obama roars thru the rest of the primaries and takes the lead in elected delegates, as seems likely, all those superdelegates are going to be delegitimated. Is it actually likely that black Democrats - and Obama himself - will take "half a loaf" and willingly settle for the VP slot?

What kind of election is this going to turn out to be! The Republicans are dissing their base, and if Hillary steals the nomination that will do exactly the same to the Democrats. I think the Clintons are losing their teflon - without which, things could turn ugly for them in short order. If Whitewater, Vince Foster, Travelgate, etc - to say nothing of racist mentor J William Fulbright - suddenly matter to the Democrats and their Big Journalism associates . . .

It is worth remembering that not only did Craig Livingstone get the FBI files of 900 Republicans whom no one thought Clinton might hire for anything, he pulled up the files of 2000 Democrats in alphabetical order. Meaning, the files were illegally pulled without reference to specific potential job offers. Without the teflon, that could become a serious political problem in Democratland.

I can’t imagine what she could do at this point, but the Clinton’s have surprised me before.

This is just another round of the “I’m the underdog” routine. She has the super-delegates so I doubt she’s worried at all.
