Carville spin: MS doesn't matter because because it was expected.

[tekisui]

No gain for Obama, this win was expected.

[no name no slogan]

1. I loathe Carville, but he has a point

MS was supposed to be a cakewalk for BO. It would have only been news if he'd lost.

[Zueda]

15. When I look at this...

it appears to me that Hillary is as likely to take PA as he was as likely to take MS.



I would bet that she takes PA, KY and WV and he will take the rest.

[angie_love]

23. Then why should PA matter? Its expected that Hillary will win there.

[Johnny__Motown]

25. Oh God.. please.. don't ask them to live up to the standards they set for Obama.. not possible

[angie_love]

30. foolish me.

[tekisui]

19. It's news he handed HIllary another 20 point defeat.

She has done that to Obama only once--in her home state of Arkansas. THis is Obama's 19th.

[MattBaggins]

32. So at the convention

when Hillary stands up to give her concession speech will she say that this was as expected and proceed to declare herself the Democratic nominee?

[babylonsister]

2. Same as it ever was. nt

[yourguide]

3. good, so PA wont matter when HRC wins

thanks

[democrat2thecore]

12. That's what I was thinking - again it was a subtle statement about RACE

As in, "Mississippi doesn't count because we knew Mississippi would go to Obama because Mississippi has a lot of black people." A voter is a voter is a voter. *&*%$ Carville!

[annie1]

13. no, that is not about race, that's about the polls. stop. there are plenty of...

very white states they anticipated losing.

[mmonk]

24. Yep. Can't be one way if they vote for a candidate as expected

and another way if they vote for the other candidate as expected. Politician bull crap double speak we've been entertained with for so dang long.

[sandnsea]

4. Then OH, TX, CA, NJ, MA, NY.....

don't matter either so can we toss Her Hillariousness out of the race now???

[democrat2thecore]

14. You are right. Toss them out. The white vote won it for her there and it was "expected"

The Clinton campaign is over the top in a way that shocks me - again!

[BeatleBoot]

5. Another State the Dems won't win in the General Election

He's right.

[totodeinhere]

17. Even if the Dems don't win that state...

shouldn't Dems in that state still be allowed to participate in the process? Or do only Dems in blue states count for anything?

[seaglass]

27. It just means in terms of the GE the state is meaningless, unless

they are one of the few states that award electoral votes proportionately - but I don't think they do.

[Mooney]

35. Just like Texas.

[Bucky]

6. Because because because becaaaaaauussssse! Because of the wonderful things he does!

We're off to hear the Carville, the wonderful Carville of Odd!
We hear he is a whiz in show biz, because he is married to God!
We're.... OFF to hear the Carville, the wonderful Carville of Odd!

[mudesi]

7. Well it was expected Hillary would win Texas...

Too bad she didn't.

[Lint Head]

8. And if...Hillary won? It would be an outstanding victory?

Sounds like the usual political capital 'B' capital 'S'. :dem:

[annie1]

9. agree. all the delegates that everyone is est. included that as a large margin for obama...

even larger in fact than it was. i was expecting 22/11, 21/12, and instead it's 20/13 or something.

[Frances]

10. Whether it was expected or not, it is a win

The problem is that Mississippi will never go Dem in the general election.

It's wonderful that African Americans are supporting Obama so well; unfortunately, that very fact will cause the majority of white voters in Mississippi not to vote for Obama.

(90% of African Americans voted Obama, but only about 30% of the whites did.) There aren't that many white Dems in Mississippi. Most of the whites are Repubs.

[kirby]

11. They've moved the goal post after every missed kick!!! n/t

[supersonica]

16. I don't think Carville said MS doesn't matter

We would need a link to confirm this.

[tekisui]

18. He argued to that end.

He did say it is no political gain. And he was not saying this after Hillary took Ohio. It's bullshit spin.

[dansolo]

29. No political gain?

It is 7 or 8 more superdelegates that Hillary has to somehow convince to vote for her.

[RiverStone]

20. Ummm. What will he say when Obama wins the country?...n/t

[tekisui]

22. It was expected.

:-)

[Johnny__Motown]

26. The country doesn't matter.. only the Super delegates

[Cha]

21. Yeah, keep thinking Mississippi

doesn't matter, carville..and Wyomin' and now Texas..oh what a shame Obama got more delegates in Texas than your girl.

And all the other states Obama won that you and your ilk say, "don't matter". Good strategy you BOZOS have.

[RBInMaine]

28. And Hill was EXPECTED to win OH, TX, and RI.

[Bad Thoughts]

31. I'm calling PA for Clinton

Now that it's expected, it won't count.

ETA: While I'm at it, let me call all the races and superdelegates as I would like it. That way, we can end the race today and I'll be happy.

[MonkeyFunk]

33. I watched him

he didn't say that.

He said since Obama was expected to win, it doesn't really change the dynamics of the race. He didn't say the state didn't matter.

Why do people lie so much here?

[HeraldSquare212]

34. I thought he was banned from CNN? Why the hell do they let him mouth Clinton talking points?

[Drachasor]

36. Then maybe: "Obama winning the nomination doesn't matter, because it is expected" in a few months?
