Paul Lukasiak: Buyers’ Remorse: How Rank & File Democrats Rejected Obama Once He Was Declared The “Inevitable” Nominee

Hillary’s Voice:

Newsweek
Clinton (48%) vs. McCain (44%)
Obama (46%) vs. McCain (46%)

Electoral-Vote.com, May 23, 2008 (270 needed to win)
Clinton 315 McCain 206 Tie 17
Obama 242 McCain 272 Tie 24

Hominid Views give Obama only a 32.7% probability of beating McCain, and give Hillary a 99.9% probability of beating McCain. And the Republicans haven’t even begun to trash Obama yet.

Politico: Viral e-mails attack Obama’s life story. And they’ve only just barely gotten started.

Red Queen feels dirty because FOX News. is. fair. and. balanced.

Clinton Made Same Reference In March

May 24, 2008 · Comments Off

RedStar sounded worked up over how this would make Clinton look several hours ago so I’m posting this for her.

MyDD: From an interview published March 6th in Time Magazine. Same reference made much more clearly. And clearly innocent in its intent.

TIME: Can you envision a point at which — if the race stays this close — and with the difficulties that everyone has analyzed in accumulating enough delegates to get any distance ahead where party elders would step in and say “Senators Clinton and Obama, this is now hurting the party and whoever will be the nominee in the fall. We need to figure this out.”

CLINTON: No I really can’t. I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn’t wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June, also in California. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual. We will see how it unfolds as we go forward over the next three to four months.
