Bill Clinton: Hillary Can Be the 'Comeback Kid'
ABC News ^ | Jan.4, 2008 | Kate Snow

Posted on 01/04/2008 8:43:37 AM PST by COUNTrecount

ABC News' Kate Snow Reports: Bill Clinton says his wife can be a “comeback kid” just like he was.

"Absolutely," President Clinton said in a brief interview with ABC News.

"Remember I lost here," Clinton added, referring to New Hampshire. (Bill Clinton placed second in New Hampshire in 1992 behind Paul Tsongas.)

He then quickly listed off his other losses from memory: "South Dakota, Maine, Maryland, Colorado, before I ever won a state," he said.

So what can Hillary Clinton do to come back?

"Run that hard here," said her husband. "She's got a better profile here. They know more about her now than they did about me then. And I think she'll be fine. We just get out and go."

Bill Clinton did express one concern about the shortened time frame for campaigning in New Hampshire. New Hampshire's primary is next Tuesday, January 8-- just five days after the Iowa caucuses.

"I just wish we had ten days instead of five," Clinton said.

So Bill thinks she'll lose in New Hampshire too?

This is an interesting strategy...”comeback kid” even though she leads Obama by double digits in national polling.

The current polls have hillary up by a few points in NH. But with Obama’s momentum and I believe independent voters can choose either a republican or democrat to vote for, she’s going to lose NH. I’d advise independents who lean republican to vote for Obama. We can end her campaign, and the clinton reign of terror, once and for all.

"She's got a better profile here. They know more about her now than they did about me then.

Is that supposed to be a positive, Bill?

Barack Obama is not Paul “Elmer Fudd” Tsongas.

Interesting. The Clinton campaign is so desperate this morning they are repeating the exact same mistake Johnny Edwards keeps making.

They just trotted out the spouse, because they apparently don’t have confidence in the candidate to address the issue of the day.

Using the same old line sure goes a long well with the change BS she’s trying to pedal. Ha

There’s always hope. As coach John McKay quipped after his Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their first game after 26 straight losses: “We’re three or four plane crashes away from the playoffs.”

Iowa voters have been bombarded for months with many opportunities to learn about the candidates with multiple mailings, phone calls, TV ads, and stump speeches.

It’s interesting that the more facts people discover about Hillary, the more unlikeable, shrill, crafty, and ambitious she is exposed to be - and her supporters continue to shrink.

Most of America simply DOES NOT LIKE HER already. If 70% of Iowa Democrats voted against her, what will happen as the rest of America discovers how sallow and corrupt she truly is?

This isn’t the Walter Cronkite world of news reporting anymore, and the Democrats hate it like cockroaches hate the light.
