Bill Clinton: Hillary Would Be Winning Under GOP Primary Rules

Political Radar:

Former President Bill Clinton, speaking to reporters after his wife's event in Pittsburgh, PA Monday, said that under the republican primary system -- his wife would be ahead by hundreds of delegates.

"I did not actually get the delegates necessary to have a first power of the nomination under the crazy system the democrats have," Clinton said. "If we were under the republican system which is more like the electoral college, she would have a 300 delegate lead ...It's an eternity 'til the general election, an eternity."

Is there ANY hope the Clintons will retire and stay out of politics? Cant they do something else? Sell used cars, maybe?

They will not be won by a FAR LEFT Democrat. California for one likes fiscal conservative/socially moderate Republicans (ARNOLD, PETE, GEORGE).. Dukakis lost California to Poppy Bush... That"s the apt comparison. FAR LEFT VS fiscal conservative/socially moderate Republican. But you can't see that... It"s easier to be middle/right and appeal to the middle, that Left/Middle. Look at history, look at the primaries, The states where Lefties rule are states like Oregon, Vermont, Wisconsin. The Middle rules, Calif. NY, TX, FLA, OH, PA.... I am sorry you don't see that, and cling to your candidate... I like that CLING,,, And wanting it don't make it WRIGHT!

Maybe we're just BUSHed! rvme loves to hear itself talk.

[rosal]

rvme: Same advice to you and Hell-ary. Change parties. You'll feel a lot more comfortable among right wingnuts. Go!

[rvme]

Thats rebuttal to the arguement? really? REALLY? So you think its easy for a FAR LEFT Nominee to win the White House?

[Tropiholic]

rvme are you attempting english in that post?

Neither Obama nor Clinton are far left Democrats. They're both centrist Democrats, although in the last week, Hillary Rodham Clinton has telegraphed her intention to go to the right of John McCain.

I'm what you call a far left Democrat, although in real life on planet earth, before conservative Republicans moved the goal posts and made liberalism a crime, I'm in the mainstream of thought and belief.

Most Californians, with the exception of the central valley, San Diego and Orange County, are liberals. The joke out here is "Republicans couldn't get arrested in California....although they should be."

Arnold got elected because of our peculiar fascination and affection for celebrity in the US. The recall of Gray Davis was a Karl Rove lynching, and if the day ever comes when Dick Cheney's energy task force gets investigated, I have no doubt the links between California and the Bush Administration will become obvious for all to see.

Barack Obama will have no trouble at all winning California.

As far as fiscal responsibility goes, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a great big ZERO.

Americans all over the country are recognizing that to Republicans, fiscal responsibility means shifting the costs of Big Business onto the backs of the citizen.

Under Democratic governments, Americans got more in every way for less. Since Republicans took control, the quality of life in every area has diminished. Lousy education, no jobs, $4 a gallon gas, and soon food riots.

Republican voters had better wake up.

Bill Clinton is already re-inventing himself as a stand-up comedian.

[BitJam]

Hillary (and Bill) would be whining under ANY set of rules if they were behind.

[lefilmnoir]

The proportional system he's complaining about was just fine with them until she started losing primaries. He'll be whining about something as long as there's a microphone in front of him.

[DEMinWH08]

lets not forget that this is the same proportionate system that he won under... these people are ridiculous!

[DoninJoisey]

So change parties. She's a hawk, uses Rove campaign tactics, and lies with the best of them.
She, apparently, is still a Goldwater girl. She can run with McCain, since she praises him so much.

[kettletop]

Hillary, feel free to run as a Republican.
You already have the moves.
Your leadership style as evidenced by how you run your staff in the campaign is more like W than like a democrat.
So...fill your boots!

[williamgg]

And if you had not been a pathological liar and pervert, you wouldn't have been impeached.

[ropadopa]

Yeah! and if MIT was operated like Devry I would have a Phd. in quantum physics. I keep trying to figure out what can we do to save them from themselves but with each passing day they just seem to make it that more difficult.

[lainey]

Than maybe she should have OFFICIALLY ran as a Republican instead of disguising herself as a Democrat. Senator Clinton and her husband have shown blatant disregard for our core values and endorsed Senator McCain far too often. That is why she will not win the nomination and that is why they have disappointed so many who used to value their service. It is funny what people will do when fear kicks in. Sad, but true.

[jetgirl]

Someone send these fools a card to change their party affiliation so they can vote for McCain in the fall.

[atila]

the only rules that counts for him is the clinton rules....

[TotobiAyokoh23]

This remark is treacherously disgusting! I think the Clintons just want to destroy the Democratic Party. Period. Where is the outrage, fellow Democrats? This is nothing short of an undeclared coup against the legitimacy of the Democratic Party. And as traitors, the Clintons must be arrested for undermining the legitimacy of a legally constituted entity.

isn't satire fun?
