So sad.

"I'm the one." So funny.

It's really becoming more and more like the girlfriend who just won't go away.

Don't you know she can never love you like I can? You and me - we belong together. We're soulmates.

Something tells me this whole thing might have to end with a restraining order.

Every time I read her saying "more people will have cast their votes for me" my head wants to explode. I hope the supers have the same sensation.

Ignoring caucus voters is sheer insanity. I cannot wait til June 3 and the supers come out of hibernation to end this.

I'm sure the supers appreciate getting materials compiled by Karl Rove mailed to them.

I'm guessing she's sending this letter via the bloggers because all remaining Supers have blocked her phone calls and refused to sign for any certified letters for the Clinton campaign.

These attempts are actaully pretty sad when Obama keeps rolling out Supers everyday, while the only one she can muster is a guy who was originally hers, flipped to Obama, now has flipped back to her.

maybe TPM could do it's job as a reporting website and juxtapose her polling-based claims with the NUMEROUS accounts or her or Wolfson or McAuliffe saying "we don't believe in polls" or "we don't make our case based on polls".

that would give her claims a sense of perspective.

If she's so adamant that she would be the best president, maybe she should have run a better campaign.

Why are we indulging her with coverage? This is like giving a kid lots of attention for having a temper tantrum. Hillary is stamping her feet and threatening to hold her breath at this point.

I am sure that Greg & Eric will go batshit crazy and will be posting only the Clinton Talking Points from here onwards and all the way up to the convention.

Obama getting supers everyday ? Who cares ?

Senator Clinton is putting together a TV ad, in response to Senator Obama's ad now showing in Puerto Rico.

We are asking for help from some of you who are fluent in Spanish. Please email or call us with the Spanish for;

Ultimately, the point of our primary process is to pick our strongest nominee

I would argue the point of the primary process is for the voters' wishes to be upheld. But for the sake of argument, let's accept her premise.

So let's see who really would be the strongest nominee:

Is it Hillary who has launched an unprecedented 50-state voter registration drive?

Is it Hillary who is conducted an unprecedented organizing institute to train and deploy the largest field operation of any Democratic nominee?

Is it Hillary who attracted an unprecedented 1.5 million-plus donors?

Is it Hillary who is turning out young voters in unprecedented droves?

Is it Hillary who has stayed on the high road and avoided saying or doing anything to undercut the party's chances in November?

Is it Hillary who has the higher favorable-unfavorable ratio in polling?

I don't think so...

No, Hillary not just you. Vote Democrat in 2008!

Hillary just wants a do-over; that's all!

The Clintons absolutely KILL ME. Last night one of their surrogates was saying that the Dem party can't survive if people keep vilifying the Clintons. How can they not look at their own behavior in creating this dynamic?

Why is tpm flooding this site with these ridiculous stories today----withou ever offering a very simple caveat?

Hillary cannot run against John McCain without destroying the black part of the party, the youth part of the party, and the best educated part of the party. (Yes, these three parts of the party overlap in many cases).

To actually nominate Hillary, as opposed to inserting her into a poll of people who are not paying enough attention to realize what such a bizarre thing that would be to do at this point, is not something which can happen.

Karl Rove's electoral map? She's nuts. She keeps talking about death bed conversions, but no one is converting to her; she's converting to them. Death bed conversion, indeed.

Breaking:

From the desk of:

Terrible McAwful

Senator Hillary Turdblossom Clinton plans to petition the Electoral College to cancel the November election, and declare her to be the next President. She has persuasive poll evidence that should convince them that John McCain has no chance of winning, so why even hold the election. A clear example is: He will have no chance to win the support, in November, of even a single Puerto Rican voter.

Is this Clinton Week at TPM?

For some time now, I've been thinking "Projection!" when I hear Bill or Hillary kick into attack mode on the Obama campaign. Accusations of racism, sexism, divisiveness, unelectibility, inexperience, etc. etc., I swear it's all been said with the two of them looking in a mirror.

With this new argument, that Obama's victory is illegitimate, they've reached to the point of no return. Who's illegitimate, again? The good news is that it's becoming pretty obvious now: the mirror is cracking--the spell is breaking.

Hillary, save the BS for your supporters who are still believing you, because the superdelegates actually pay attention, and you are just embarrassing yourself in front of them. Lying to voters is one thing, but superdelegates don't appreciate you blatantly lie to them.

That would be the biggest fairy-tale I've ever heard of. Looks as though the voters have stolen her coronation.

Wow! Do you notice something missing here, like oh... caucuses?

"I expect to lead in the popular vote and in delegates earned through primaries"

She can actually write a letter like that and formally claim that caucuses don't really count is amazing! I've said before on many other posts that I'm not a fan of the caucuses but they do exist and they do count and to just make up your own numbers like this shows she has no place in the Oval Office.

It's been a few months since I've asked this question. Does TPM publish every word that comes from the Clinton campaign? Is there any editing considerations?

Is it as balanced for Obama?

CT's cat: Nothing gets past the Mighty Quinn, cat extraordinaire...

Hillary's most compelling argument:

"If you don't pick me, I will hold my breath until I pass out."

Weird mental image of Hillary and Obama a la Olivia Newton John and Travolta at the end of Grease singing, "You're the one that I want..."

Hillary is not NEO . . .

Hell, Clinton isn't even Retro . . .

Oh my god. More time down the rabbit hole.

It's really very simple, Hillary.

Any candidate that can go into a primary season with a 20-point advantage, a massive political and fundraising machine and the more name recognition than any candidate and manage to blow it all simply is NOT a strong candidate for any office.

If you were the strongest candidate, you would have won. You had every single advantage, and you squandered it all.

Who is a strong candidate?

A strong candidate is one who starts out behind and manages to build up win after win and an uncatchable lead in delegates and amasses a great warchest for the general election AND manages to do it without fighting down and dirty against his fellow Democrats.

That's the strongest candidate by far.

Ach! I tried to make a comparison with a superlative and that was so stupid.

She's not the stronger candidate than her opponent.

The essential point is this, and it has been thus since the Wisconsin primary: any poll or argument that says that Hillary is a better candidate against John McCain does not factor in that for Hillary to get the nomination, over the head of the winner of the majority of pledged delegates, would alienate African-Americans, young voters and millions of Obama post-high school voters, many of whom would likely sit out the general election if, IF, Hillary were to convince enough Supers to award her the nomination. The polls do not factor this massive defection in, nor do any of the arguments Hillary has advanced, all of which are based on polls that do not factor in how a huge proportion of Obama supporters and voters would react to such a coup.

Re: "I expect to lead in the popular vote and in delegates earned through primaries."

Does this mean, "count every vote, except the caucuses"? Sounds like it.

Is it possible that Hillary trying to divide the party to the extent that McSame wins, thereby giving her another shot in 2012? Is she that power mad? PJ Hussein White

"I'm the One!"

Great slogan.

Quiz time: whose slogan in the presidential race years ago was: "______'s the One!"

Tell you anything?
