Hillary concedes, says Obama COULD lead Dems to victory.
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 09:13 AM by flvegan
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton said emphatically Wednesday night that Barack Obama can win the White House this fall, undercutting her efforts to deny him the Democratic presidential nomination by suggesting he would lead the party to defeat.

"Yes, yes, yes," she said when pressed about Obama's electability during a campaign debate six days before the Pennsylvania primary.

Asked a similar question about Clinton, Obama said "Absolutely and I've said so before" - a not-so-subtle dig at his rival who had previously declined to make a similar statement about him.

1. You could tell that she was not happy having to tell the truth
It was like trying to get a vampire to eat a piece of garlic bread.

3. And Obama conceeded that Clinton could beat McCAin
And he also said that the democratic party will support either of the nominees--changing what he has said in the past.

5. No he didn't. Conceed means changing one's view
He always said she could beat him. That's the difference between an honest and dishonest candidate.

6. You certainly have a warped memory.
Forgot about Obama saying that she could not win
1. because his supporters would not vote for her
2. becasue she has too much baggage and the republicans would beat her>
