Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., denies she told Governor Bill Richardson, D-N.M., that her Democratic nomination rival, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., "cannot win" a general election against presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

"That's a no," Clinton, D-N.Y., told reporters at the end of a press conference in Burbank, California, when asked if made the comment to Richardson.

"We have been going back and forth in this campaign of who said what to whom and let me say this, that I don't talk about private conversations but I have consistently made the case that I can win," she said.

Here's Hillary trying to brush aside another bigger lie, the Bosnia one:

I just read the linked article. As others here thought, Clinton neither confirmed nor denied that she told Richardson that Obama cannot win. Her "That's a no"was to the question of whether she would discuss her private conversations with Richardson.

And ABC News, no big surprise, has a source saying that Richardson told Clinton and her husband that he didn't think Obama could win.

Of course she said it and she was right! And of course she is lying about it just as Obama has lied about so many things. They're all politicans. Get used to it.

Obama does not discuss the economy? LIAR!
She thinks joking about the Bosnia lie on Leno is funny? LIAR!
She said today she paid all her bills? LIAR!
She said the campaign is doing great financially? LIAR!
She says she was never for NAFTA? LIAR!
Against the war? LIAR!
On and on and on - constant, non-repenting, bald faced LIAR!

Of course she's lying, but let her walk this one back. I don't think it serves any purpose going back and forth over this stuff.

I don't believe her. If she didn't say it, Bill did. Same difference.

Not a big deal, but this back and forth stuff is pretty tiresome.

The Bill who is reported to have said this is Bill Richardson. Significant difference.

I agree that the back and forth stuff is pretty tiresome.

What about another source saying Richardson said in coversations with Clinton, he didn't believe Obama could win because he was "too inexperienced"? Do we believe one "sorce" over another or does this lend credence to the "Judas" claim?

My opinion is that they're the same source.

Why don't you try saying what you mean instead of phrasing everything as a question.

I do not believe that the same source said that Clinton said it, not Richardson, and then turned around and said that Richardson said it, not Clinton. That makes no sense to me.

"I don't talk about private conversations..."

...that's what she's got anonymous surrogates for, apparently.

Obviously, if there's not a recording, the answer is that she's telling the truth.

Unless there's videotape, in which case she misspoke and misremembered.

In the interview I saw, she didn't say NO she didn't say that, she said "I don't reveal personal conversations", what I did say was I can win". All this woman knows is lying, she's been lying to herself for years about her husbands screwing around on her. Everyone knows he does it, but she wants the WH and she needs him and his clout to get her there. There's always a means to the end people and so she's decided to take the low road to get there, sad but true.

Amen, Grannysue; I just noted the same thing you did after Cedman's remarks. Hill seems functionally unable to answer a question without fornicating with the truth.

Cedman, you're right.

In viewing that clip of Hill on the tarmac (no, not in Bosnia...) she parsed and hummed and hawed and she did not deny making the statement to Richardson -- that Obama could not win. She went all around the subj, extolling HER ability TO win.

Then at the very last, there's this statement, "That's a no." Now it seems to many that Hill did NOT deny making that statement to Richardson; she just fiddled with the words and then made an indirect, unclear "That's a no" which didn't address the question.

Sort of "...as far as I know..." kind of response. Half-truth/bordering on lie, as usual.

This is true. By the time she said 'That's a No,' it was no longer possible to determine what THAT was. What she was saying No TO. This is how lawyers talk, she's a lawyer, so no surprises. Slippery as an eel. Hillary 'the eel' Clinton.

You Obama sycophants are destroying the democratic party by knocking the other candidate.
At least that's what you would be saying if this was turned around.
You are all Obama hypocrites.
Trash Hillary all day long and that's just dandy and loads of fun! Every DAY someone says that Hillary can't win in November, children.

Oh but how could I forget:
Obama is Jesus Christ Superstar!
Can't say ANYTHING about him, even the benign "He can't win in November" becomes a racist remark if Hillary or a Clinton supporter says it.

stop, please stop drinking the kool-aid. It's sickening.

We democrats always loose when we should be winners. Why, we drink divide and conquer poison water. So McCain will or Nader or some green party jackass get votes because we are mad at her other. Silly season.

Why do we have a jackass or donkey for an icon for the democrat party?

When the replubs won with geo w. on back to back wins, they used divided and conquer, with piss poor propaganda of the race card on McCain having a black daughter. You see pictures of the blonde hair daughter, not the adopted one that lost him the race to geo. w. Why?

The same trick is working right now and ever time it has been used. We keep going around that same darn mountain. You would think for just one moment. punching each other back and forth night after night. They are reading this crap and counting the sucker who take hold of the message and spread the crap over and over until we all so mad we vote someone else instead to be spiteful. When are only shooting ourselves in the ass hoping the other will die. dumb dumber does not become a winner.

The pollster keep calling us uneducated. Reading these messages, we are
dumb and crazy to believe all of these people on line are only Hilliary and Obama supporters you are talking too. It is stupid. You are being had,they laugh. Get better control of your minds. just pass rude comments by.

Lets look at YOUR post shall we?

"sychophant" "hypocrite" "children" the ever popular and standard issue "compare obama to a deity to both mock his ideas AND imply her leads a cult", "racism" and of course..."kool-aid"

Do you even KNOW how totally hateful and irrational you sound? And you dare to point a finger? Does it occur to you, that a million posts like THESE *might* be why people get a bit testy?

Wow. you take hypocrisy to a new level. I am speechless.

Knocking the other candidate? Sycophants? You are the one who can not see that your "candidate" is a perpetual LIAR! That is not "knocking" - that is a FACT. Something you are probably unfamiliar with if you have been listening to Hillary too long. She is nothing but a pathetic LIAR. Can't you admit that, you Hillary sycophant, and insulting, ignorant person?

In which one of us Nixon lives? I truly hope they are not running for office. An impeached president should not be allowed to go into the people house again. He didn't respected the first time he shouldn't set a second chance. Shame on us if he does.

Hillary Clinton is lying - again! Jonathan Alter from Newsweek just said look at how she deflected and talked about "not discussing private conversation", but then said no. He said, and I agree, IF it were a no, she would have said that upfront.

If she did not say it, then when asked the logical answer would be "NO". What did she do? She went into this long tail of BS.

Why would Gov. Richardson, in a conversation to let her know that he is endorsing Sen. Obama, tell her that he can't win. kinda not the right time to say that.

It is obvious to me that Hill said it. But another lie on books for Hill.

Flashback: Does Michigan Matter to Clinton?

Hillary Clinton, during which she was asked about the Michigan primary:

"I personally did not think it made any difference, whether or not my name was on the ballot. You know, it's clear, in this election they're having, it is not going to count for anything."

You can tell Hillary is lying when she moves her lips. Go make another one of your 3 am call ad. But this time, have your conscience call you and tell you to stop lying.

Give her a break. She was probably sleep deprived and couldn't hear the question correctly. She had a similar problem with sleep deprivation and her Bosnia misstatements.

Although I suggest she wake up long enough to tell her staff to stop running those 3 AM phone call ads. We want someone who can hear correctly and speak correctly to be answering the 3 AM call, even if they are sleep deprived.

Hillary has a problem. Both with her denial which witnesses heard...and with her constant stories. She is desperate. Her entire political life has been to gain the spotlight and be recognized. Now she is being challenged...questioned. Unheard of if you asked me a year ago. I like others assumed she would be worshipped and given a pass on anything by the liberal media. Now she finds herself the underdog and playing "catch up". I think the Clintons time has come and gone. They squirm like fish out of water (both she and Bill) as they are challenged. Their wild claims and negative reactions get more bizzare as the poll numbers go down. She has lost.

Miket53,
Hill will be an interesting case study/grad paper on truth-telling in the political arena. Maybe some student will be able to take 5 or 6 years and explore all the ramifications of hers (and by extension Bill's) lies, half-truths, obfuscations and triangulation. Can you imagine the resources available?
