Politico:
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is increasingly aiming its punches not at her front-running opponent Barack Obama, but at the media.
On the campaign trail, in a new ad and in her meetings with donors and superdelegates, she blasts the D.C. punditocracy for counting her out and urges anyone who'll listen to ignore the hardening storyline that places Obama as the Democratic presidential nominee.

I can't believe she's still trying that "Electoral College Map" thing.
There is NO correlation between winning a primary and winning in the General Election.
I mean, someone from each party HAS to win in a Primary. John McCain won in PA and Ohio and West Virgina too!
Shamefully, the only part of the argument she's making that makes any sense is its implicit appeal to race.
If the Democratic Primary is the general election, doesn't that mean that Hillary has already lost to John McCain?
Just wondering.
Barack Obama. President. 2008.
The MSM is better at math than Hillary.
Sour grapes, state of denial. It's over, Hill.
She paid good money for those media consultants and now where are they when she needs them? Perhaps the media is starting to wake up from a long slumber. Well, OK- we can only hope, can't we?
IN the words of a very, very wise person. "When it's over, it's over." And Hilary, It's over!
The media coronated Hillary the nominee over two years ago. She was mentioned as the inevitable nominee over and over and over again.
“It’s a resentment ploy, basically . . .”
Good Lord!! Just when I begin to think Hillary is beginning to support the party's and nation's best interests, and I'm beginning to think maybe she could be VP, she does something like this! Divisive for 18 years. . . I guess that's NOT going to change.
She is right about the map.She has a strong case to make tyhat she can win and Obama loses.She will take the popular vote lead after Puerta Rico and we all know how democrats feel about the popular vote in Florida.Sh
Obama has already changed the electoral map. He beat Hillary by huge margins with many times normal turnout in a whole bunch of red states. A lot of red states might go blue for Obama in November.
considering we go by delegates and not popular vote why does that matter?
Thank you, neocon, for making my point. Why do Republicans want Hillary so much?
There are a lot of Clinton supporters that wish they could have their vote back after Clinton's nasty Roveian tactics. I personally know quite a few that have said that and I have also seen it mentioned on blogs like this one.
we all know how democrats feel about the popular vote in Florida. How do they feel? enlighten me.
She will not be the nominee. You people have to stop counting Fl and MI. They broke the rules. If they are going to be seated (and they will) it will be fair to everyone. Also if they were seated "as is" Hillary would still not have enough delegates.
Hillary, it IS the math. You came up short. It is over.
Sorry sweetie, it is the math
Does it bother you at all that neocons and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly are hoping Hillary will be the nominee?
Why do you think that is true?
Not true. You're unaware of the GOPs reverse psychology tactic. They've been using it for 40 years.

All you Hillary supporters that are trying to force the DNC to give make Hillary the nominee in spite of Obama being in the lead is crazy. You people are causing nothing but trouble and you will divide the party. Ok, maybe Obama will not get but Hillary will not get it either.
Not everyone who "supports" Hillary is a Democrat. Republican Trolls of every variety, especially the "unbiased media" variety, will attempt to divide the Democratic party.
The proper response: Blah, blah, blah. I don't care. Vote for McCain if you don't like the Democratic nominee.
Fake post.
From a fake woman.
Feigning fake concern/outrage.
Faking it up to start bogus arguments and muddle the discussion.
How long have you been working for the RNC, anyways?
Democrats: Unite behind our candidate, Barack Obama, and let's get this presidential election iced by September!
