Smerconish: Hillary Will Lose PA Primary, Suspend Campaign
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/18/2008 7:35:03 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Hillary–gone in a week? Yes, if you believe Michael Smerconish.

The Philly-based radio talk show host was the only Pennsylvanian on the panel on this evening's Race for the White House on MSNBC. He saved his bombshell for last. Nothing in the kibitzing preceding the show-closing Predictions segment foreshadowed Smerconish's surprising suggestion. But when it came time to break out the crystal ball, Smerconish unloaded.

MICHAEL SMERCONISH: Mine's a two-parter. Part one: Tuesday in Pennsylvania, Barack Obama 51, Hillary Clinton 49%. Part two: Thursday, 4 PM Eastern: Hillary Clinton suspends her campaign.

“Hillary Clinton BUSTED on tape being very bad!” At a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton blamed what she called the “activist base” of the Democratic Party — and MoveOn.org in particular — for many of her electoral defeats, saying activists had “flooded” state caucuses and “intimidated” her supporters, according to an audio recording of the event. (Huffingtonpost)

From Michael’s lips to God’s ears. I hope it is true. I am sick of the Clintons. It is time to put them in a time capsule and never hear from them again.

Don’t think she is going to lose PA. How much ahead was she in recent polls?

Rasmussen only has her up 3, others more. Chris Matthews predicted she’d win by 10.

Then she should win. Obama has not done anything to close the gap recently.

Perhaps Hillary has an unseen advantage among two voting demographics that B. Hussein Obama hasn't penetrated...

(1) Computer "hobbyists" in the PRC, and

(2) Dead people.

God, I hope not. I want to see these two at each other's throat at least up to the convention. The sooner this is finished, the sooner the Dems and MSM can close ranks and go after the GOP. I really do not see why so many conservatives are anxious for this to end early.

Well, I’m not sure about Michael. I was surprised that, of all people, Glenn Beck chose him to sub this week. About HRO’s ire with moveon.org, well, they’ve given a ton of money (and infatuated, adoring hype) to BHO. Yes, we all know the Clintons too well by now, but (and thank God I don’t have to choose ‘cause I’m not a Dem) there’s an old saying about “the devil you know vs. the devil you don’t know”. And BHO is definitely the devil we don’t know, yet. What’s been trickling out thus far is scary enough.
