39. If Hillary doesn't get a SEVENTY-TWO point lead from here on in,
Edited on Sat May-10-08 08:14 AM by rocknation
it will only help her raise money for a lost cause and give the media a reason to keep running with the story. She needs to get 86% of the vote in ALL SIX of the remaining contests to overtake Obama. Which is probably why he's been leaking out enough superdelegates to be able to clinch the delegate lead with as little as 35% of WV.

Speaking of distractions, this stuff about Obama paying Hillary's campaign debts was meant to distract us into not giving him more money. Campaign laws forbid him to take "direct responsibility" for another candidate's debts--I think paying them out of his own campaign funds would qualify as "direct responsibility."

Now, Hillary's "hard-working white people" distraction is one that can work to the advantage of WV Obama supporters. What better way to reward her than with a margin of victory MUCH smaller than expected, like in Indiana (she won by ONE point, not two), Pennsylvania (she won by nine points, not ten), and Texas? Pool your resources and hit those phones!
