Clinton Camp Memo on Obama Expectations (He Must Win all 4 States or She Stays In)
Time Magazine ^ | February 29 2008 | Time Magazine

Posted on 02/29/2008 10:22:06 AM PST by jveritas

Clinton campaign memo highlights Obama’s winning-streak momentum, ad outspending in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island, says if he can’t win all four, then the message that Democrats are “having second thoughts” is clear. Read it here.

To: Interested Parties

From: The Clinton Campaign

Date: Friday, February 29, 2008

RE: Obama Must-Wins

The media has anointed Barack Obama the presumptive nominee and he’s playing the part.

With an eleven state winning streak coming out of February, Senator Obama is riding a surge of momentum that has enabled him to pour unprecedented resources into Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont.

The Obama campaign and its allies are outspending us two to one in paid media and have sent more staff into the March 4 states. In fact, when all is totaled, Senator Obama and his allies have outspent Senator Clinton by a margin of $18.4 million to $9.2 million on advertising in the four states that are voting next Tuesday.

Senator Obama has campaigned hard in these states. He has spent time meeting editorial boards, courting endorsers, holding rallies, and - of course - making speeches.

If he cannot win all of these states with all this effort, there’s a problem.

Should Senator Obama fail to score decisive victories with all of the resources and effort he is bringing to bear, the message will be clear:

Democrats, the majority of whom have favored Hillary in the primary contests held to date, have their doubts about Senator Obama and are having second thoughts about him as a prospective standard-bearer.

Well the Clintonistas just about invented ‘spin’ as a dishonest procedure of contemporary political life, and this is how it’s done........

I think you nailed it. I don’t think she’s strong or a fighter. I think Bill and his Arkansas mafia wont let her quit.

As primary campaigns go, does it get any better than this?! Hillary, the Stalinist of the iron-fisted Clintoon machine versus Obama, the once and always ‘useful idiot’ of the deluded left! lol This democrat primary race has proven better than any television program, and it puts ‘reality TV’ to shame. I hope when all the political dust settles, there will be an award to this campaign for best comedy production since ‘The Office.”

Can you imagine how Hillary would handle the Federal budget ...

I have to agree with all of your post.
They went though some serious bucks.

Frankly, I hope she stays in until and through the Dem convention. The resentments and anger will likely tear apart the party. And we know that she'll never give up gracefully

I am starting to think that if Hillary makes too much of a fool of herself, she will unite the Dems behind Barack. She has to have some reasonable claims to stay in the race and split the party. So far she has only embarrassed herself.

I believe that Republicans will cross over and vote for Hillary in these elections just so that she defeats Obama. LOL!

Shrillary: “If I can win Vermont or Rhode Island, by even 0.5%, I will hold a rousing VICTORY PARTY on national TV and declare my determination to stay in the race, straight into the convention!”

Thank you. It’s funny because it has the ring of truth to it.

Ya’ll seem to love jumping all over the butch-in-chief wannabe, but I’ve gotta tell you this osamo islamo obamo dude is a hell of lot worse than she is. I hope she gives him fits right to the bitter end.

That’s right, Gramps. The longer HRC stays in, the closer they get to the democrat convention with no nominee, the better for the GOP. Our first priority here is to finally see a stake driven through the political heart of the Clintons, eradicating this cancer on America.

After that, we will need an all-out offensive against the Empty Suit, pouring out any and all information we have on him. America would be irrevocably changed - if she survives - by a Barack Hussein Obama presidency.
