WASHINGTON — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton needs three breaks to wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Senator Barack Obama in the view of her advisers.
She has to defeat Mr. Obama soundly in Pennsylvania next month to buttress her argument that she holds an advantage in big general election states. She needs to lead in the total popular vote after the primaries end in June. And Mrs. Clinton is looking for some development to shake confidence in Mr. Obama so that superdelegates, Democratic Party leaders and elected officials who are free to decide which candidate to support overturn his lead among the pledged delegates from primaries and caucuses.

Without new votes in Florida and Michigan, it will be that much more difficult for Mrs. Clinton to achieve a majority in the total popular vote in the primary season, narrow Mr. Obama’s lead among pledged delegates or build a new wave of momentum.
Mrs. Clinton’s advisers had hoped that the uproar over inflammatory remarks made by Mr. Obama’s longtime pastor that has rocked his campaign for a week might lead voters and superdelegates to question whether they really know enough about Mr. Obama to back him. Although it is still early to judge his success, the speech Mr. Obama delivered on race in Philadelphia to address the controversy was well received and praised even by some Clinton supporters.

In truth, in interviews, Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said that task was tough and growing tougher and that the critical questions were what would happen with Florida and Michigan and the possibility of developments involving Mr. Obama’s relationship with his spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

That’s no doubt high on her list.
This is one case where I hope that the Clinton personal destruction machine does it’s job well. I am absolutely disgusted and horrified that Obama still has so many supporters despite that fact that he is so closely connected with a racist hate monger.
Obama’s idiot wife said that she has never been proud of this country until now. Well, I hate to say it but with so many millions still supporting this pathetic, racist, disgraceful excuse of an American for president I can honestly say, with no exaggeration, that I have never been more ashamed of this country. And since the GOP will most likely, as usual, fail to use this issue to bury the opposition, here’s hoping that Hillary destroys the candidacy of this POS.
“And since the GOP will most likely, as usual, fail to use this issue to bury the opposition, here’s hoping that Hillary destroys the candidacy of this POS.”
I agree. Isn’t it pathetic?
Just a few weeks ago, McCain made 2 slip-ups in this single video. He stumbles on the word dispirited and then replaces it with spirited. Then, he stumbles by calling himself a conservative liberal Republican and replaces it with conservative Republican.
Then, McCain ended this short speech by vowing to continue to infringe on and quell First Amendment rights, when he says that 527's should be outlawed.
McCain a 'Proud Liberal'? (Video)
The article forgets to add that the black man asking for change scared the hell out of his own grandmother.
;)
Being Hillary Clinton is not a disqualifier?
Hillary’s winning UNLESS Rush tells people to vote OBAMA. OBAMA WILL never be President.
No no no no no no!
Obama is waaaaay more defeatable (and more thin-skinned). Do you think Democrat Jews or Hispanics will vote for him? On the other hand, if Shrillary wins the nomination, black Dems will still vote for her in droves.
If you’re going to play that kind of game, conservatives should vote for Obama, as he is likely to lose more in the coming days due to the Wright story, and needs propping up to keep this battle going into the convention.
Awesome!
Hillary has the balls to keep it up, ...
...hope the GOP does
You putting any money on that last part?
I wish our side would simply butt out and let the cards fall where they may. IMHO Obama would be much easier to beat in the general with indies beginning to look twice and States that have become purple changing back to red as a result of Wright. HE will have problems in the general whereas Hillary may have enough dirt on McShame to kill his efforts. She must be defeated now!
I said the other day after Obuma’s lacksadaisical speech, Michael Jackson should have jumped on stage belting out his (Black or White) song.
Obuma thinks he is slick, but I see the (Mugabe) and (Ide Amin) in his eyes/actions.
Obuma’s silence in over 20 years of listening to Half-White-Wright’s hated filled sermons simply shows he is in agreement condoning the racist diatribe against America/White Americans.
Obuma should best realize, Hillary will get the nomination. I despise her, but far better Shrillary than a racist who hates America and White People.
The Caucasians in Obuma’s tribal village are being fattened up for the black liberation tribal feast he will unleash on America if elected.
Oh I almost forgot, when a segment of the US population only consist of 15 percent with only (5%) willing to go along with his anti-White-American hate revolution, the odds are it will be easily defeated if it were to occur.
All Obuma did was increase the vigilance of of the Old Guard(Sensible Patriotic Americans of all races) in America with his speech. We as Americans clearly see, some never want to get over the past and live in the furture. Funny how even though they garnered (special rights) clinging to the minority victimized status the crybabies keep wailing.
The Blacks I know that are friends of mine, exemplify hard working Americans. They have achieved the (American Dream) in life through hard work and self determination. They are voting for John McCain, for they know what Obuma and his ilk will do to our Great Country.
Damn!!! “ Can’t We All Just Get Along???”
Respectfully,
NSNR
Amen to that. I keep saying the same thing. First take down the Clinton Mob Machine. We can deal with the other socialist Saul Alinsky disciple later.
But first things first.
LOL on #1. That clip captures really captures this ‘rat primary from my perspective...
EXCELLENT.....
If La Bama becomes the nominee, McPain surely has the opportunity and foresight to use a Reagan slogan about La Bama's youth and inexperience!!!
N O T according to the anti white preacher, the "wrong" anti-America rev. wright!!!
“getting the New Black Panther Party endorsement is a disqualifier”
Hillary is no better. She represented the black panthers in her early years and her husband pardoned terrorists so she could get the P.R. vote during her senate campaign. No one cares what the Clintons do. We will not be able to beat her in the general. Obama will be much easier to take down after this scandal because it seems to be resonating, where nothing the Clintons do seems to matter.
no dear I’m not....Mccain has already shown he’s mushy....he and Lindsey who appears everywhere with him
but he does get angry
