Clinton: ‘Be careful what you wish for, Rush’ By Klaus Marre Posted: 03/05/08 09:30 AM [ET]
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), buoyed by important victories in the Democratic primaries in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, on Wednesday offered some words of warning to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who had urged Republicans to vote for her as the presumptively easier Democrat to beat.
“Be careful what you wish for, Rush,” Clinton said on Fox News.
For the second time during this campaign season, the former first lady survived what many viewed as a potential knockout punch from frontrunning Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.). While Obama maintains a significant delegate lead, he was unable to seal the nominations Tuesday night, having to concede another two populous states to Clinton.
“By getting the most delegates, by having won twice as many states, by having a lead in the popular vote we feel as if we are on pace to get the nomination,” Obama said Wednesday morning in an appearance on the same network. “And it will take a little longer than would be true if we weren’t running against a Clinton, but we’re still going to end up getting it.”
However, instead of being able to focus on Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), the newly crowned Republican nominee, Obama must now continue to expend his considerable resources on the Democratic primary.
The Clinton campaign is seeking to use the breathing room the former first lady was given in polling places in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island to map out its “path to the presidency,” as a memo from strategists Harold Ickes and Mark Penn was labeled.
In the document, the Clinton team says it is “time for a second look” on the race and the candidates and argued that the “momentum has swung

No-they are talking about a redo-if it even goes that far. I still hear rumblings all morning about Hillary can’t catch up,the super delegates do not want to overrule votes...if the supers break for Obama after the next two primaries-Carolina and Wyoming, she will have to get out since her only hope is to get the Supers to overturn pledged delegates.
Incredibly hilarious and accurate assessment! Thanks. :-)
It deals a serious blow to free speech and increases its suppression (what I meant to say)
But if Obama is her VP, which is likely, those Rats who dislike Hildy will still find it in their heart to vote.
That, of course, is WHY she would select him as her VP. Otherwise, she loses.
Sure he does...it would silence those pesky conservatives once and for all. He authored McCain Feingold after all.
If Obama doesn't want her, I'm sure McCain will roll out the welcome mat for her. After all, according to Mr. McAmnesty himself, "Hillary would make a fine President."
Too bad some people didn’t realize this was what they were accomplishing by supporting Hildy yesterday.
The hell he doesn't. Remember we're talking about the same idiot behind McCain-Feingold and who willingly accepted funding from George Soros for the liberal "reform institute."
And the monkeys flew from the window.
Or, when McCain wins, WE'LL be laughing at YOUR dumb ass...;-) Goes both ways, my friend...
It benefits Obama because it fills in the one gap in his resume in a marvelous way-—experience.
He’s a young man and can wait. While he VP, he racks up political connections, money, IOU’s etc.
And what’s he going to do otherwise? Get a job?
I only listen to the cbs radio news for one reason, to hear the spin. Their spin is that Hillary made a comeback, they will insist on obeying the will of the voters in the big states which she won, and they are shilling for her for FL.
Ingraham just admitted defeat.
Her strategy just CHANGED lmao.
It just went from causing disruption at the Convention and weakening Obama — to “Hillary is easier to beat”
Laura, you are a MORON.
How can the MSM “guarantee” that Republicans stay home?
If Republicans stay home, it’s their own stupid fault.
No, believing that Republicans saved Hillary is ridiculous. Obama actually won more delegates last night that Hillary - you did know that, right? And, Obama actually won more Republican votes in Texas than Hillary did, by a 52% to 47% margin.
So how is it that Rush had an effect, again?
Thats true...I should have said 2+ terms. Don’t worry, modern presidents are held to two terms...of course we are talking about the Clintons. Ok-I’m crying too!
Rush’s stunt isn’t helping to destroy the Rats. It’s giving them, especially and directly the ‘Toons, MORE power.
The media will make the campaign negative. They will highlight every criticism by McCain of Hillary as anti-woman. They need a low turnout, the lower the better and they will count on Hillary’s hard core 40% to pull it off.
Political realities. They always trump.
