Is Hillary Clinton Still “In It, To Win It”?

It’s the eve of perhaps your last large primary victory, plus you’re running increasingly close in Oregon. And Barack Obama says, “[Iran] does not pose a serious threat” and he points to their small military budget and geographic size as an indicator of this. To say this is a blunder understates it. It displays a level of ignorance,that is hard to fathom. But, you rather doubt you can still win the nomination. Should you go after Barack, and further wound him? Should you say something like “In a year, Al-Quaeda spends orders of magnitude less then the US. Geographically, you could comfortably fit every member of the community into 2 square mile region. And yet on September 11th 2001, they flew 2 planes into the World Trade Center, and ended the lives of over 3000 Americans”. Or should you stay silent, knowing that your attack would further damage his chances in the general election? We’ll see which road Hillary Clinton takes today. And maybe we’ll get a sense of whether or not she truly believes she can win this thing.

  1. MetroRepublican Says:

    Heh. Go Hillary!

  2. sas Says:

    I think she will win the popular vote - then the Dem party has a Bush/Gore within itself - one gets the popular vote, the other has more pledged delegates. Oh what a mess that will create, especially if Puerto Rico puts her over the top in the popular vote and Obama wants those votes not to count, since PR is not a state. This will get the Latinos really ticked off at him ,as are the voters in Mich. and Fla. This would further weaken him.

    She could go either way….she has not been hard on him I think as yet. And he is a very weak candidate now anyway. On the other hand, would she speak out and risk also angering his supporters, whether she wants the top spot or the VP slot. Tough call.

    I say she holds back.
