What Will Hillary's Excuse Be If She Loses PA?

[Yes We Did]

Okay, yeah, it's a long shot that it happens, but the last poll did have Obama leading in PA.

So, what will Hillary and her people say when she loses; after holding a 20+ point lead less than one month ago?

Will we hear their standard "he outspent us" talking points? Or will she do the right thing and just congratulate him and drop out.

Numbers are numbers, and it's simple; she doesn't have them, nor can she get them.

And yes, anything less than a 20 point win for Hillary IS A LOSS! And anything less than a 35 point win means it is finally over. Deal with it.

1. i am a hillary supporter

but if barack wins i am 100% behind him. I like him alot. I do kinda hope though that he does win so that this will end. I want a democrat in the white house and right now i don't care who it is.

2. "What excuses will we read in GDP when Obama loses PA?"

This Team Obama BS has already been anticipated and mocked. :)

8. Duh..... You are so funny, and clueless to boot.

Obama doesn't need any excuses; he was supposed to lose by 20 points remember! Nice try though.

3. There is no "win" or "lose" today, according to a DU Obama follower.

You need to get your talikng points together.

9. We don't use talking points; those are for you guys.

We prefer independent thought. You should try it.

11. "Independent thought" ?

Coming from someone aligned with the mother of all kool-aid sources, that is quite hilarious, kiddo. :rofl:

[Yes We Did]

14. "Mother of all kool aid sources?"

Such sad little undereducated people. Come back when you have an original thought; rather than another Hillary talking point.

6. That should be "if" she loses

I don't think she will. She has been consistently ahead in the polls, and her supporters control the voting machines. But if she did, I'm sure there would be a reason why Pennsylvania "doesn't count".

[Yes We Did]

10. Good One!

And sorry, guess I'm a little over confident. But you are right, I'll change it.

7. Damn you don't get cocky! Have you ever heard of TEMPTING FATE?

[invictus]

12. Hillary has such a wild imagination there is no way of knowing what lie she will spin. n/t

[billyoc]

13. Same excuse she can use for the whole primary, and quite a vaild one, I might add...

[Yes We Did]

17. I didn't think about that one. Thanks, I needed the laugh.

15. they've already begun.......

I heard a Clinton spokesman this morning say that a win is a win. In other words, even if she wins by only one vote, they will see that as a win not a loss......

However, everyone else knows that is not true. Even if she wins by a small percent, she won't win enough delegates to make a difference......

18. Super Delegates say she has to win by 10 points to stay in ...LA Times reports

The spread: Clinton needs to win by at least 10 percentage points -- the margin she posted over Obama in Ohio's March 4 primary -- to show that she has not lost her touch in the industrial Rust Belt, several uncommitted superdelegates said.

If she is successful, she will be able to point superdelegates to the fact that she trounced Obama despite being severely outspent on television and radio advertisements in Pennsylvania by a more than 2-to-1 margin.

If Obama can keep the race to within 10 percentage points, or even win, he would claim that he has shown surprising strength in a state that is Clinton's demographic home turf, with many of the lower-income Democrats who have supported her in earlier primaries. That kind of result would give Obama momentum heading toward the May 6 contests in Indiana and North Carolina, where a sweep would make a Clinton nomination feel all the more unrealistic.

21. What ever happened to that "she has to win by 30 everywhere" thing?

I mean, doesn't she really have to win by 30+ in EVERY contest to catch up to him?

Why do we let them keep pushing it back?

[Oleladylib]

19. Got a question that might have an answer?

[Yes We Did]

23. I'm sure there will be lots of answers on here tomorrow.

[suston96]

22. No excuse...but...PA is another blue state that counts, like all states......

...in the general by a simple majority - that could mean by just one vote.
