LaFayette still sees a chance for Clinton

Posted by: Glenn Blain - Posted in 2008, Hillary Clinton, Reginald LaFayette, Suzi Oppenheimer, Westchester County, Westchester Democrats on May 12, 2008

As you might expect, Westchester Democratic Chairman Reginald LaFayette is among the die hards who still give Hillary Clinton “a shot” at winning the party’s nomination for president.

“Everyday there are developments occuring and we don’t how many of those superdelegates are going to be switching sides, just like they are doing now,” LaFayette said in a telephone conversation a few moments ago.

LaFayette, who presides over the party in Clinton’s home county, said Clinton should at least remain in the race through the conclusion of all the primary contests.

“I think you should at least give every state a chance to play a part,” LaFayette said.

Regardless of who the Democrats nominate, however, LaFayette still sees a big Democratic turnout in Westchester this fall and easy re-election victories for local Democratic incumbents — especially state Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer, who Senate Republicans have targeted.

“I don’t think Suzi is in danger in a presidential year,” LaFayette said.
