Hillary Clinton: Barack Obama Can't Win

UPDATE: Mark Halperin is reporting comments from an anonymous Clinton official:

"Bill Richardson is clearly embarrassed that he broke his promise to them. He should come out and tell the truth and admit that he told both Clintons that Obama wasn't ready and can't win."

ABC News reports:

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and former President Bill Clinton are making very direct arguments to Democratic superdelegates, starkly insisting Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., cannot win a general election against presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

Sources with direct knowledge of the conversation between Sen. Clinton and Governer Bill Richardson, D-N.M., prior to the Governor's endorsement of Obama say she told him flatly, "He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."

Laughable. I think her prediction deck is missing a few cards.

If Hillary keeps going she may just get her negatives to be as low as George Bush's - now THAT would be a remarkable accomplishment.

Well, may be he can't win.... a bowling match. As for the presidency, that's a different story.

To that, I say: "Yes he can"

The Clinton are now ahead of Dick Cheney on the evil scale.

LOL. Could be. The latest polls clearly state otherwise. So why are the polls wrong, Hill?

[bradical]

She says 'He can't win.'

He says 'Yes we can.'

Maybe one day she will realize that her campaign of negativity never stood a chance in a nation that desperately needed hope.
