Clinton: No State Will Be Overlooked - NYT

[WillyT]

<snip>

Hillary Rodham Clinton demonstrated her new commitment to campaign in all the remaining contests by appearing this weekend in Oregon and Montana, states that most polls and experts say are likely to vote for Barack Obama in primaries in May and early June.

Mrs. Clinton squeezed in an appearance in North Dakota, a state that Mr. Obama won decisively on Feb. 5, in hopes of maybe poaching a delegate or two. She appeared on stage at a Democratic convention in Grand Forks Friday night with North Dakota’s three-member Congressional delegation -– who have all endorsed Mr. Obama.

The core message in the three states was the same – Mrs. Clinton would continue to fight for the nomination, despite the long odds and the calls by some for her to withdraw in the name of party unity. And she is, finally, pursuing votes in every state, an implicit acknowledgment of the error of her earlier strategy of ignoring smaller states and those holding caucuses rather than primaries.

She even promised to campaign from one end of North Dakota to the other in the general election if she wins the nomination, even though the state has not gone Democratic in a presidential election since 1964.

“I would be ecstatic to campaign across this state in the fall, doing everything in our power to persuade the good people of North Dakota that we can do better,” she said. “We’ll win by running a 50-state campaign.”

11. You know she's ROYALLY pissed at having to "waste" money by

having to schlep all over the place to all those insignificant states.. Last year at this time, she no doubt, planned to be basking in the victory tour across America, triumphant ..and stuffing wads of cash into the pockets of those yellow pantsuits :rofl:

Instead, she has to speechify to all those hicks in Montana & Indiana & North carolina and even Puerto Rico :rofl:
