"Countdown" with Keith Olbermann Turns Five: Hurting Democrats November Chances?

The Clinton campaign has been successful at spinning the primary results as follows:
1. She claims the delegate count is close--essentially a tie. Take a look at the total number of delegates Clinton gained from her big wins in Texas and Ohio (4 net) and you'll see that Obama's lead is insurmountable.
2. Clinton is spinning the notion that Obama can't win in NY, NJ, California and other states where she won the primary. Does any literate, sane adult believe that those solidly blue states will vote for McCain if Obama is the candidate?
3. Clinton claims she's nearly tied with Obama in the popular vote. But even her campaign manager knows that this is a delegate contest, not a popular vote contest. The popular vote isn't even counted in caucus states where Obama has been cleaning up. More Clinton baloney.
4. Clinton's claim that she must fight all the way to the convention rests on a poll showing 62% of Dems want her to continue. If respondents knew that after five more months, both candidates' negatives would be so high that neither could win in November, how many would want her to continue? Answer: 100% of Hillary 2012 supporters. posted 03/30/2008 at 15:57:01

Paul Krugman Slams...Hillary

Krugman should have included Hillary's husband on the list. It was Bill who signed the 1999 banking deregulation bill that undid the Glass-Steagall safeguards that were placed on the banking industry after the 1929 crash when banks overleveraged their capital to buy stocks and other risky investments that deflated to junk and left their depositors with nothing. Sound familiar? The banking lobby worked unsuccessfully to undo Glass-Steagall regulations for years, spending over $100 million in the process, until they finally found a president they could work with in the person of Bill Clinton. After the signing ceremony, Bill gave the pen to the chairman of Goldman-Sachs, where his Treasury Secretary (Robert Rubin) soon settled in to begin some serious cashing in. Hum...wonder why Paul forgot to mention that little fact in his critique of Hillary's brilliant "I know what I'll do--I'll appoint a committee" solution? The NYT is a corporate mouthpiece. And so is Krugman. posted 03/26/2008 at 14:07:14

Time for Superdelegates to Ratify Obama's Insurmountable Pledged Delegate Lead and Settle the Democratic Nomination

What could she possibly be thinking to continue this self-degrading campaign? Let's think about it:
1. Knee-cap strategy
2. 2012
3. Majority Leader
4. Cabinet post in McCain's administration
5. Cash infusion from donor(s) keen on maintaining/regaining Republican control
6. Approval from Bill and other big boys
7. Closet racism
8. None of the above--she's just insane posted 03/26/2008 at 14:31:39
