Winning by losing: Hillary Clinton's new math

It is a purely Clintonian form of math, this idea of winning by losing. But it may be working.

[JustAnotherJoe]

The general election is Obama's to LOSE

[James]

There are 2 types of presidential candidates.
Those that want to represent a cause or accomplish something for their country and those that just want to be president.
Hillary has always been the latter.

[the fighter]

I hope Hillary will not join Hussein Obama's party as VP nominee (in case he is the presidential nominee), then Obama will be crashed by the GOP machine in the GE. She doesn't owe them anything, after what they all did to her. I pray that she'll be the presidential nominee because she is the more qualified candidate. GO Hillary GO. To all of you women who are behind her, please do not vote for Obama because he is an arrogant man who hides behind the media. Likewise, his wife thinks she is already the first lady.. of what?.

The ultimate horror of the MSM media: A Hillary Clinton write-in campaign.

If every HRC supporter writes her in, she will decimate BOTH Obama and McCain in November. And there is already a movement underway to insure exactly that.

And the super-delegates are aware of it as well, making an Obama "can't-win" nomination increasingly unlikely despite the GOP-owned mainstream media's coronation and plan that Obama suicides himself against McCain.

[Akanimo Uwan]

Go Obama!

[YAHOOOOOO]

Hillary on the green ticket?

[Benjamin]

This is too funny, first there's this claim:
"She doesn't owe them anything, after what they all did to her."

Awww,*sniff* that evil man daring to run an effective political campaign against her. How dare he. Doesn't he know she's a woman and that she should just bow out before her awesome femininity?

and this:
"If every HRC supporter writes her in, she will decimate BOTH Obama and McCain in November. And there is already a movement underway to insure exactly that."

yeah right. She can't even win a single party's nomination, you think she's going to take GE with a write-in campaign? This is exactly what scares most of us about Clinton supporters, reality deficit disorders. It comes from there I-was-under-sniper-fire-in-bos nia candidate too.

She can win the general. He cannot. If the dems nominate Mr. Obama, they will not prevail in the general election this fall. I have high hopes for Obama, but cannot in good concious vote for him at this time. He's too young and he has NO accomplishments worthy of note as a member of congress. Worse yet, he reminds me of Jimmy Carter in his naivete` - and Carter, while the best human being and the only truly honest and upright man of real character to be president in my lifetime (52 yrs) was a terrible president and over a deadlocked administration that accomplished absolutely nothing during his term of office. Carter's main problem was he staffed his cabinet with a bunch of talented guys from Georgia who were terribly flawed as a presidential cabinet because they had NO capital hill experience among them. Electing Obama gives me EXACTLY the same feeling I had when we elected Carter. I will probably vote for Hillary if she's the candidate. Otherwise, it's McCain all the way.

Addition by subtraction, I suppose.

Kennedy put Johnson on the ticket but got shot 3 years later.

I want to see Hillary win and I think she can do it. Obama cannot win as he is a candidate who talks the big talk about change and unity and has never demonstrated anything in his political life about change or unity. He did sit listening to racism from Rev. Wright for 20 years though. Even though I am a life-long Democrat I would never vote for Obama. The man is about empty platitudes and I don't believe a word he says.

[John Gee]

We should call this the Rashomon election because we all tend to see things from a different perspective.
Some see Hillary as a champion of the disenfrachised as she calls for the votes in Florida and Michigan to be counted. I see a candidate who is trying to bend the rules that she previously agreed to in an effort to win the nomination.
Some see a candidate who would have won the nomination if she hadn't been sabotaged by the male dominated media and party bigwigs. I see a candidate who ran a lousy campaign, who chose to ignore the caucus states and depleted her campaign funds going for a knockout in the Super Tuesday contests.
Some see a candidate who was the victim of negative campaign ads dirested against her. I see a candidate who went negative early on by "throwing the kitchen sink" at her opponent.
Some see a candidate who has heroically taken up the cause of the working man. I see a candidate who, during her husbands presidency, opined about that same group of voters. "Screw them. We don't need them"
Some see a candidate whose first allegiance is to the truth. I see a candidate who will say anything and shift any position in an effort to win votes.
This may be the Rashomon election. But I just don't get what you Hillary supporters see in your candidate.

[DEVO]

Yea..."winning by losing"
Apparently she is suffering from some sort of dementia. Well, she can always resort to crying... AGAIN.

Obama took Oregon which is a REAL state. And it's literally over for "Billary"

OBAMA IN 08

Enjoy voting Republican then, Mr. Lifelong Democrat. You twit.

Hillary has NO EARS (and no brain). She is 1000% egomaniac! Too bad she's never learned how to be a gracious loser. Makes her "just a loser"!

[Obama Republican]

Hey Num-nut Hillary supporters,

Barack WILL be the next US prez. Get over all this silly Hillary stuff--it you want McSame to win, his only chance is to run against Clinton. The religious right hates her--of course, they hate everyone who is not like them. They also dislike McSame, but not as much as Clinton. The RR will support Barack, not McSame.

Hey, any good republican knows that "I got mine, so screw you." attitude wins republican votes.

"popular votes in party-sanctioned contests"
Is Michael Tackett on the payroll of the Obama campaign? He continues this lie.
But like it or not, Hillary has won more popular votes because people in Michigan and Florida DID vote for her. It doesn't matter whether they were "party-sanctioned contests" or not, because in November, everyone gets to vote.
The Democrats cannot win without taking BOTH of these states, yet Obama and his crazy supporters (like the shill Michael Tackett) persist in telling lies.
Obama will never be President.

Hide and watch. Practice saying President Obama.

Hillary agreed to not seating delegates from Michigan and Florida. Then she put her name on the ballot (Obama didn't), so naturally she won. Most intelligent people consider that cheating and lying, two things Hillary is noted for and excells at.

well said. i can't believe people actually think that she won these votes fairly. only until she was losing, did she want to count these votes.

The article calls it a Clintonian form of math.

The rest of the world calls it delusional.

Give it up Hillary. You lost. The Democrats want somebody else to be President. Not you.

[Hal]

You name it, and the problem is Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton.
