Why is Hillary letting Obama win a few states here and there?

1. Because, as they admitted today, they made a huge campaign blunder.

2. I'll go with choices 1, 2, and 4.

[skipos]

3. The same reason Giuliani let other Repubs win a few states here and there. nt

14. Because contrary to the Clinton meme...

She is not an experienced campaigner at all. She has only run for office twice and only faced marginally serious opposition once. Then she used her enormous name recognition and fondness for her husband to win a Senate seat in a highly Democratic state against a less than formidable Republican. In her reelection campaign she faced no serious challengers.

Obama didn't face serious opposition in his Senate race, true, but he ran for and lost a HR race, faced serious Primary challenges when he won his State Senate race, and was the underdog in the Primary race for his US Senate seat. So as far as campaigning, Obama is actually more experienced and vetted.

Being close to a candidate and a campaign is irrelevant. I mean Rove obviously knows how to win, but he would have a hard time getting himself elected.

4. Because with her vaunted '35 years of experience', the truth is she ran an inferior campaign.

6. This fella has your answer.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Is that you, mtnsnake?

[mtnsnake]

15. No. You have to get something that looks more like a combination of Richard Gere & George Clooney

That dude there doesn't come close :smoke:

[FrenchieCat]

16. Well, maybe so, but the rhetoric's the same.....

after all, Clooney endorsed Obama. :rofl:

[mtnsnake]

20. %!X*#!%x@#!

Arggh! I forgot about that :mad:

Richard Gere and Brad Pitt? :shrug:

[maddiejoan]

7. Cat.

[anigbrowl]

18. I can has delegatez?

[ProSense]

9. Because Hillary plans to contest the rules and claim the goal was to win fewer states:

[Spider Jerusalem]

10. Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Obama - 21 states + DC, US Virgin Islands

Clinton; 12 states

that's not 'letting him win a few here and there'.

[thevoiceofreason]

11. Because she could care less about you

Unless you fit into her strategery.

[aaronbees]

12. You have a future in satire

That gave me a nice laugh. :D

[mtnsnake]

21. All in fun

:)

[JimGinPA]

13. I'm Torn...

If this isn't the dumbest thread of the day - it's in the top 2.

:eyes:

[XemaSab]

17. She's a masochist who loves pain.

That's why she's still with Bill. :popcorn:

[Just-plain-Kathy]

19. Honestly I think it's all about money.

We all know how elections can be manipulated. As long as we have a tight race they'll be able to whip supporters into a frenzy. ...This race has become about black against white, man against woman, young against old. ...The other day on FOX, :puke:, Karl Rove spoke about sending your favorite candidate money, because that's the only way they could win.

What gets me really sick is that there are still state primaries to come, yet they already know that super delegates will be needed. ...What kind of BS is this?
