Debbie Wasserman-Schultz on why she's sticking with clinton

[4themind]

<http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/news/story/nelson-wasseerman-schultz-stick-by-clinton/>
"A statement issued late Wednesday from Wasserman-Schultz: “Senator Clinton continues to demonstrate that she has what it takes to win the Presidency ... while Senator Obama does well in areas and demographic groups that the Democratic nominee will win anyway"

hubris or truth? You decide...

[marylanddem]

1. "Will win anyway"???

Debbie, don't bet on it.
You're being a bit presumptuous.

[Cosmocat]

13. WHY hasn't the media called them on this ???

So, senator Clinton, you know for sure that the african american democratic voters will just get in line behind you ... You THINK the MILLIONS of new democratic registered voters, who came to the ranks because of BO, they are just going to automatically vote for you ???

[BenDavid]

21. called "them" on what? damn! if I said obama inhaled and exhaled

today, I am sure some of you obama folks would read into that something racist. I think some of you obama folks need to drop back about 3 yards and re-evaluate your own selves. Seems like anytime Debbie says something pro HRC some of you obama folk attack. Is the attack based on something racial she said? Is the attacks on her based wholly that she is Jewish? I have never seen anything she has said that in no way has been bigotted or racist, but from some obama folks all hrc supporters are racist.

[Cosmocat]

25. Yeah ...

cause saying WHITE working class, no race differential there ...

[Cosmocat]

26. Yeah ...

cause saying WHITE working class, no race differential there ...

[Bicoastal]

2. SCHUUULTZ!!!

[Joe the Revelator]

3. That is an unbeliviable statement

I hope her seat goes to a more deserving democrat.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. Wasn't Hillary's argument that she won big blue states?

You know, the ones we're going to win anyway? :crazy:

[dansolo]

5. This is the same racial bullshit Hillary was spouting

It isn't as blatant as Hillary, but she is essentially repeating the assertion that Obama won't win the WHITE vote.

[marylanddem]

8. Yep.

[yardwork]

11. I agree. Pure racist fear-mongering. I reject it.

[babylonsister]

12. Yep. She's learning the wrong lessons from her elders. nt

[mystieus]

6. Its getting ugly and I don't like it. Don't assume you will win anything..

[lojasmo]

7. Another idiot for Clinton.

I'm so sick of this shit.

[billyoc]

9. Very generous of her to take time out of her busy schedule

of campaigning for Florida Republicans to issue this statement.

I hope she falls down the fucking stairs.

[SoFlaJet]

18. LOL

you friggin crack me up...her Dade buddies (the Diaz-Balart brothers and Iliana Ross-Leyshit) appreciate her support of Clinton

[burythehatchet]

23. ouch

:rofl:

[TahitiNut]

10. Gotta love that "fuck you" to the most consistent and loyal partisan base.

The arrogance MUST be drug-assisted.

[lligrd]

14. Hell Debbie, Why Don't We Just Nominate A Repuke

That way we can win all the red states. And by your reasoning all of us Dems will automatically support the nominee even if it is a right wing conservative Repuke.

Her statement proves that we really need to clean up our own party.

[4themind]

19. Her nickname on the blogosphere has become "Debbie Dubya" though

ouchies

[nradisic]

15. Get rid of her!

Wasserman Shultz seems to be employed by the Israeli lobby. We really have to get rid of "so called Democrats" like her. What a fucking embarrassment....This is the bimbo that refused to support a fellow Democrat who happened to be running against one of her "Republican friends?" Please! She hasn't a leg to stand on. The Repukes can have her!

[TexasObserver]

16. How desperate of campaign Hillary. Now they're trotting out retreads.

Is this suppose to stem the tide of superdelegates to Obama?!

[spanone]

17. has what it takes??? it takes enough votes to win the primary and that she ain't got

[FredScuttle]

20. "Senator Clinton continues to demonstrate that she has what it takes to win..."

except for the winning part. She's losing in total pledged delegates, total votes, total states, total primaries, total caucuses and, as of today, she just lost her lead in superdelegates. That reminds me of Shaquille O'Neal's famous quote about his "success" in basketball (uttered before he joined the Lakers, obviously)- "I’ve won at every level, except college and pro"

[burythehatchet]

22. oh, and by the way, I'll get a sweet committee assignment for selling my soul""

[4themind]

24. shameless kick for evening crew

[Stop Cornyn]

27. Isn't that basically Bill Clinton's triangulation strategy? "My base has nowhere else to go so I'll

throw my base under the bus and pander to the groups on the fringe of supporting me" may be the Clinton triangulation mantra, but 2006 confirmed that inspiring the base works better than taking the base for granted.

[peaches2003]

28. I truly hate to break this to both Hillary and DW-S, but

if they want to talk race and gender, there are now plenty of white woman who will no longer vote for Hillary under any circumstances after the way she has been behaving and talking. She's ruined a lifetime of work in the last 2 months as far as I'm concerned!

[Kittycat]

29. This is the same Schultz that won't support Dems running against already seated Pukes.

That says it all.

[TwilightGardener]

30. Blacks and eggheads--fuck you, where else you gonna go?

[tledford]

31. This woman is an idiot.

I remember listening to her whining attempts to justify inaction in Congress a few months ago on AirAmerica. It was stomach-turning.

[dcindian]

32. It is scary how on message these folks are.

Kinda reminds you of the Neocons and their style of propaganda.

[DemVet]

33. Truth.
