What I don't understand about HRC

[AllentownJake]

Hillary supposedly thinks Obama is a "loser"

Ok the "loser" outsmarted her in Iowa.
He outsmarted her in fundraising.
He outsmarted her in Super Tuesday strategy
He outsmarted her in post Super Tuesday strategy.
He outsmarted her in organization.
He outsmarted her in getting Super Delegates for the past two month.
He outsmarted her in getting Bill Richardson to endorse him over his personal 20 year relationship.

and Today...

He outsmarted her by getting the most popular democrat in PA, the slayer of the evil Santorum, to endorse him on the kick off of his bus tour.

If someone who is outsmarting you at every turn is a loser....what the hell are you?

She had the advantage of fund raising network when this started.
She had the advantage of endorsements.
She had the advantage of having a two term popular President in her back pocket to speak on her behalf.
She had the advantage of the choice of advisors.
She had the advantage of the media crowning you the Nominee before a single vote was cast.
She had the advantage of being the most known Senator in the country.
She had the advantage of having been involved in two Presidential campaigns.
She had the advantage of one of her chief advisors writing the rules for the primary season to her advantage.

A rookie from Illinois has cleaned her clock. She may think of him as a "loser" but her failings as a candidate have shown that She cannot run a succesful campaign to become President of the United States. If with all these advantage and she has failed miserably in the primaries what makes anyone think she can run a General Election campaign. Honestly how can we expect better with what she's done so far in the Primaries.

I'm sorry Senator part of becoming President is running an effective campaign and you have failed to do that. That is why the kid needs to get the nod and you need to go back to the bull pen.

1. Man, I hated Santorum soo much.

I'm pretty thrilled that Casey endorsed Obama.

[AllentownJake]

4. He was a stain

On the great state of Pennsylvania that Santorum was...I remember going out with a bunch of my friends in Philly on Election night and we toasted his concession speech. It was a good night.

2. Welcome to DU!

You and I are on the same page...but get ready...others aren't!

[Sparkly]

3. Did she use the word "loser?"

Just wondering if I missed a quote today?

[AllentownJake]

5. She thinks he'll lose to McCain

I'm expanding. Alter wrote a column and he said Hillary thinks Obama is a loser for the Democratic party.

[AllentownJake]

6. She thinks he'll lose to McCain

I'm expanding. Alter wrote a column and he said Hillary thinks Obama is a loser for the Democratic party.

[merwin]

16. Hillary thinks that she's better equipped to beat McCain.

As far as I know, she has never said that Obama would lose to McCain.

[Nine]

17. She never used that word.

And it was not in the Alter piece. http://www.newsweek.com/id/129399

But knowing this place, I'm sure it will be "common knowledge" that Hillary called Obama a "loser" before too long.

7. Very good!

I think he'll be just fine on day one.

9. Leahy clarified his earlier call for Hillary to exit

Statement from Vermont Sen. Leahy

Any clear-eyed appraisal of the campaign at this stage adds up to two conclusions:

The bottom line is that, first, Senator Obama continues to hold a lead that appears to be insurmountable, and recent indications are that more and more unpledged delegates have begun to add their support to his column.

And second, John McCain, who has been making one mistake after another, is getting a free ride on those gaffes, because the Democratic candidates have to focus not on him but on each other.

Senator Casey’s endorsement of Senator Obama in Pennsylvania is the latest sign of how the race is going.

A Democratic victory in November is important to the future and to the change in course that the American people want and deserve. The last thing the American people need is for Senator McCain to continue a third term for President Bush.

Senator Clinton has every right, but not a very good reason, to remain a candidate for as long as she wants to. As far as the delegate count and the interests of a Democratic victory in November go, there is not a very good reason for drawing this out. But as I have said before, that is a decision that only she can make.

Senator Clinton has begun a tremendous career in the Senate, and she has a bright future ahead of her. She faces difficult decisions ahead, and I wish her the best.

12. I love the

"every right but not a very good reason..."

[enid602]

14. very close

If this race weren't so close, I don't think the Obama team would have so relentlessly pressured Clinton to back down.

[AllentownJake]

15. Close?

She can't catch up now.

With all her advantages and his supposed inexperience....she should have killed him if she had any kind of idea on how to run a campaign.

[Middle finga]

10. And on top of all her advantages that you listed and his disadvantages;

she still ended throwing the kitchen sink, the bathtub and toilet bowl at him and he's still standing tall. She should gracefully bow out, endorse him and admit BO is one hell of a candidate.

[Orangepeel]

11. Her campaign is still underestimating him.

But "loser" is Alter's take on what her campaign said, so we do need a big grain of salt

[EVDebs]

13. Hilary had a theme-song, It's Money That Matters...
