Clinton adds an exclamation point

Posted by: Brian Tumulty - Posted in 2008, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, White House on May 07, 2008

Some might have guessed that Hillary Rodham Clinton would use the day after her decisive loss in North Carolina and her slim victory in Indiana to contemplate— at least for a few hours—whether her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination is worth continuing.
Maybe count the remaining uncommitted delegates. Do the math. Go over the options.

As they say in the five boroughs and the surrounding counties, you can forget about it.

The Clinton campaign announced this morning she will do a midday campaign event in West Virginia, which holds its presidential primary Tuesday and where she’s favored to win.

Add to that her plans for a Thursday trip to West Virginia, South Dakota and Oregon. You get the picture.

    The black racism in the North Carolina win cannot triumph over the nomination process. The Indiana win of a mere 9 counties by Obama out of more than 100 counties cannot triumph over the nomination process. Florida and Michigan must be counted; the remaining states must vote; and the superdelegates must use their independent judgment to select the best qualified candidate for the presidency and that is Hillary Clinton. The fight for the future of America continues.

    the above statement reveals the racial divide in the
    democratic party assuming the commnentator is a democrat..
    Obama demonstrated his appeal to the democratic base..
    and traditionally that has included african american voters.
    If you will recall Hillary had a huge lead and notwithstanding the fact that northwestern indiana
    is in the chicago media market and was getting a double
    dose of the reverend wright story..obama still held his own
    and she did worse with every group women, white working men
    etc than she did in pennsylvania…the nomination is
    over….Obama is the choice..He will of course not
    win in november…I wouldn’t mind him as president..but
    I would mind his wife as first lady..
