Clinton Says Obama Wants to Stop the Votes

[Eurobabe]

Call her a flippin' WAAAAAAAAAAAAHBULANCE would you? Hey Hill, I think Obama has publically stated, along with many of his surrogates that he wants you to stay in the race.

Hillary 2.0, still playing the victim. Jesus, good God. Is this what a Clinton White House would be like? :eyes:

TextDemocratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton accused rival Sen. Barack Obama and his allies of trying to stop people from voting as some of his backers have called on her to drop out of the presidential race.

The Obama campaign rejected the charge, dismissing Clinton's criticism as "completely laughable."

In a series of television interviews in states holding upcoming contests, Clinton vowed to press on with her campaign and suggested Obama and his supporters wanted to keep those states from playing a role in selecting the party's presidential nominee.

"My take on it is a lot of Senator Obama's supporters want to end this race because they don't want people to keep voting," she told CBS affiliate KTVQ in Billings, Mont. "That's just the opposite of what I believe. We want people to vote. I want the people of Montana to vote, don't you?"

[DemGa]

25. .......

I can't currently watch the video. However, it's clear BO's campaign people have as much as said she should drop out (as per the article as well)-- and his surrogates and supporters have screamed it practically 24/7.

To say Clinton is wrong here can't be justified. I can only hope there is a backlash from the abuse.

7. "Hillary can stay in this race as long as she wants. Her name's on the ballot. "

"Hillary can stay in this race as long as she wants. Her name's on the ballot. She's a formidable opponent. A long primary season is good for the party."~Barack Obama

8. Can anyone say Patrick Leahy?

SEN. PATRICK LEAHY (D), VERMONT: There is no way that Senator Clinton is going to win enough delegates to get the nomination. She ought to withdraw and she ought to be backing Senator Obama.

[Sinistrous]

10. And that statement by Sen. Leahy shows that

he wants to end this race because he doesn't want people to keep voting???

Where? How? In what language?

Or did you just burp up a random quote to make yourself feel better?

[2rth2pwr]

11. He wants her to drop out. If she drops out the states left have no say in the nomination.

Clinton vowed to press on with her campaign and suggested Obama and his supporters wanted to keep those states from playing a role in selecting the party's presidential nominee.

17. Obviously you missed the point of my question:

First, voters in states with late primaries normally do not have a real say in choosing the nomenee. More often than not, the nomenee is alredy selected before their primaries. This election is a fluke in that regard.

Mrs. Clinton's statement (which I thought you were supporting) ascribes a motive to the calls for her withdrawl, i.e., that those advocating her withdrawl do not want the voters in those states to play a role in the nomenation.

From the OP:

In a series of television interviews in states holding upcoming contests, Clinton vowed to press on with her campaign and suggested Obama and his supporters wanted to keep those states from playing a role in selecting the party's presidential nominee.
(Emphasis mine)

My question is how does Sen. Leahy's statement evince any desire on his part to prevent voters from playing a role in selecting the nomenee?

[2rth2pwr]

20. yes.

[Sinistrous]

21. Thank you for confirming that Mrs. Clinton's statement was balderdash.

Your thundering silence in defence of her aspersions about the motives of those requesting that she drop out of the race eloquently confirms that she was spewing crap.

[2rth2pwr]

24. You are willfully speaking untruths.

[Sinistrous]

27. Yeah. Riiiight>

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/04/hillarys_new_strategy_telling.php

Would you care to enlighten us as to the specific "untruths" I am speaking?


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[2rth2pwr]

28. from your link

That Hillary is now pushing this line suggests that her advisers believe Obama surrogates erred in giving her an opening to galvanize her supporters and play the feisty underdog -- something the Obama campaign may recognize, too, judging by its efforts to rapidly dial back the calls for her to leave the race.

[Sinistrous]

29. Fully realizing that you are changing the subject because your idol

has been caught in another lie, I am agahst that she is using her lie about motives to "galvanize her supporters" to further spread the lie.

Politics from the sewers.

And yet people still support this loathsome fraud for PRESIDENT! Good god!

12. Another HRC lie that's easily debunkable. What is she thinking?? nt

[rodeodance]

13. BO lets his surrogates yap about quiting while he appears generous.

[cali]

23. anyone who thinks Obama had anything to do with Pat's statement

to Vermonters doesn't know jackshit about Pat Leahy. He's blunt,he speaks his mind, and like another VT pol you hillbots love to hate, he's honest. Hilly is a pygmy in the Senate compared to Pat.

[K Gardner]

14. I've heard Clinton, Wolfson and Rendell ALL say this over the past couple of days, specifically tha

Obama STOPPED the vote count in FL and MI.

[kevinmc]

15. Hillary said she was under sniper fire ..... And ...

Her Campaign spokesman say's a lot of things that aren't true.

[cooolandrew]

16. Most folks on liberal radio are saying that the game is up they seem far wiser in this respect..

[City Lights]
