1. And she won't either!
Who's going to vote for her by the time she finishes besides women.

18. I am not being sexist I am a woman too.
She can't win because her negatives are so high. I live in the suburbs and even before Obama started winning the women here hated her. I couldn't understand the hate for her. I and my family would discuss how much she was hated. She may have a lot of women for her but she has a lot more against her.

3. BTW. She said 'yes, yes, yes' when asked if Obama can win. How much clearer should she be??

4. Who gives a shit? In her heart she knows that he can win......
to the superdelegates' faces she tries to argue that he can't....but she know otherwise.

By now, she knows that it is she that can't win.

5. If you don't believe that the Democratic candidate will win, get off this board.

6. The point is that she's been trying to sell his "unelectability" to the SDs.
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 12:21 AM by MercutioATC
..as in "Yes, he has more delegates and more of the popular vote and better polling against McCain, but you have to pick ME, because he's unelectable!"

She kinds blew that bogus argument out of the water tonight.

7. Actually...she said EXACTLY that.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: But the question is, do you think Senator Obama can do that? Can he win?

SENATOR CLINTON: Yes. Yes. Yes.

11. Says the person who's candidate has negatives
in the 50's. Hillary will be lucky to maintain her senate seat by the time this is over. What a ridiculous post, are you saying Hillary lied, because we all know she is not a liar. Where the hell is the ignore function?

14. "He can't win, Bill! He can't win"
He'll keep canting until he wins. Then I hope we can all just shut up and get to work.

24. I think you are bitter and petty and don't want him to win if Queen Hill
can't have the nomination. In reality, either of them would win. And I say that despite hilly's hideous favorability ratings- 42% favorable, 56% unfavorable.

22. "I said some things I knew not to be the case." - Hillary admitted to being a liar.
Hillary cannot win the GE no matter what now.

23. She also believed she would be the nominee by Feb5 and that Iraq needed to be invaded.
So I suppose you hang on her every word like gospel, eh?

26. She was asked if Obama can WIN and she said YES
Did you miss that part? That said, her argument for the SDs to overturn the will of the votes is DONE.
