'I can win' : Clinton
Thu Apr 3, 5:56 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Hillary Clinton insisted Thursday she could still win the Democratic Party nomination, despite calls from several supporters of rival Barack Obama that she admit defeat.

"I know I can win, that's why I do this every day," Clinton told reporters after landing in Burbank, California, on a fundraising trip. "I am in it to win it, and I intend to do just that."

Clinton was asked about a report that she had personally told New Mexico governor Bill Richardson that Obama could not win the presidency, before he endorsed the Illinois senator last month. ABC News cited sources with direct knowledge of the conversation as saying "'Barack Obama cannot win Bill, Barack Obama cannot win.'"

Clinton said she would not talk about private conversations, but if true, the report would signal that her camp is now making blunt arguments to top party figures about Obama's prospects in November's general election.

2. "I'm in it to win it."

What is it about that phrase that annoys me so much?

[jgraz]

4. Perhaps the empty, solipsistic ambition?

just a guess...

[DarienComp]

6. yeah, there's that...

but there's also something sort of hackneyed and trite about it, no?

[jgraz]

8. Mine sounded snootier

:P

[DarienComp]

10. Yes, well, we don't support Hillary...

so let's go drink lattes and read the New Yorker.

[lapfog_1]

13. Perhaps this guy...

and this song... (which, if you have a group of 12 year old girls around, is REALLY annoying!)

Yeeaah..

Push it push it to the limit limit
Cause we're in it to win it in it to win it
Oh yeah

I realized that this is where my heart is
Now is the time to finish what I started
Can't worry bout what other people might say
It's who I am
Gotta live my dream my own way

Work work it harder
Gotta take it farther
No holding back
You know we gotta do it right now
Be even better
Work work together
It's now or never
Show em how we shine we gotta

Push it push it to the limit limit
Cause we're in it to win it in it to win it
Oh yeah

Push it push it to the limit limit
Give it all we can give it
We're in it to win it
Oh yeah

Push it push it to the limit limit

That's right

21. Maybe because it smacks of pure self-interest.

It's clear that the Dems need to move on from this, and soon; that the longer the in-fighting continues, the worse it will be to the party as a whole. But none of that matters. The good of one outweighs the good of all -- kind of like a scorched-earth policy. To me it's like she's saying that if/when she goes down, she wants to take everyone else with her as well. And's there's not a damn thing admirable or noble about that.

23. Kid Rock Lyrics

Life's a bitch ,but I deal with it
I'm in it to win it like Yzerman
Can drink about fifteen Heinekins
I'm not born again but if I was
I'd ask to come back with a little more love
Puffin the Winston, drinkin' a four-oh
Kid Rock and I'm a let you know

[dchill]

26. How about : "I can win because I believe I can win."

That's MY annoyingest.

[Anexio]

3. Loser

My god, what kind of a reality is she living in?

It's going to be hard for her to enjoy lunch with Nancy Pelosi a year from now.

Onward and forward to the new world.

Go Obama!

[Botany]

5. And Superman can fly too

[davidinalameda]

7. I'm worried for her

I think that she's really gone off the deep end

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

9. She has to keep saying this, so she can keep raising money to pay off her debts

[greyghost]

12. Yeah, I have feeling that she's going to continue this crap until the

party leadership drag her away in June.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. she could win the NY governor's race

since she is in NY

[concerned canadian]

14. it's all about the pronouns

For Hillary, it's almost always the first person singular, I can win, I am more electable, when I was first lady;

With Obama it's always been the more expansive, encompassing yet intimate first person plural. WE can Change, the way

things are (Hillary has a problem with verbs too). Changing the world for the better is much more engaging and satisfying

then watching 2 people duke it out, for whatever reason.

[Massachusetts]

15. If Americans really want change

they should focus on the Senate and House elections, thats where change happens. Unfortunately, most Americans haven't figured that out yet.

[BlueIris]

16. You tell 'em, Senator.

I still can't commit to voting for you, but...I'm goddamn sick of people telling you to sit down just because.

[Megahurtz]

17. Sheesh.

Who died and made her Queen?

[SKKY]

18. "I'm in it to win it." Next, she'll recycle "2 Legit 2 Quit."

:eyes:

[bobthedrummer]

19. "Inconvenient truths about the New Democrats, the Third Way, Democratic Leadership Council, etc."

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Obama should use "Can't Touch This."

:D

[SKKY]

27. There you go!

:thumbsup:

[DiverDave]

22. She's in it for the goddamned repukelicans

By pulling this shit she gives them the edge...if they win in Nov., it'll be because of HER help.

[City Lights]

24. Winning. Winning. Winning. Winning. That's her measurement for success.

Winning.

[Mme. Defarge]

25. So, she doesn't deny it ...

"Clinton said she would not talk about private conversations, but if true, the report would signal that her camp is now making blunt arguments to top party figures about Obama's prospects in November's general election."

[tekisui]

28. She better lose Penn ASAP if she wants to hold on to that fleeting dream.

I think it's too late, anyway.
