Hillary's Letter To Super-Delegates: I'm The One
Signaling a renewed push to super-dels in advance of Saturday's meeting on Florida and Michigan, Hillary has sent a letter and memo today directly to the super-dels that once again presses her electability case and appeals to them for support.
In the letter, Hillary continues to try to argue that the Dem primary electorate has not rendered a clear verdict on their choice of nominee, the cornerstone of her strategy to get super-dels to focus on electability:
In addition, when the primaries are finished, I expect to lead in the popular vote and in delegates earned through primaries. Ultimately, the point of our primary process is to pick our strongest nominee - the one who would be the best President and Commander in Chief, who has the greatest support from members of our party, and who is most likely to win in November. So I hope you will consider not just the strength of the coalition backing me, but also that more people will have cast their votes for me.
Her memo includes maps and polling to make her electability case -- including, as Ben Smith notes, Karl Rove's electoral maps.
Available in our Document Collection are the letter, the memo, and a collection state-by-state general election polling.
