Hilary Clinton thinks she'll win the nomination based on hard working white people...LOL


As honey sinks further into desperation, she is making me not really fuck with her.


She looks totally crazy, and out of touch, and full of pride. Back down bitch. She his hand, and admit defeat.


LMAO

A day after many observers declared it nearly impossible for Sen. Hillary Clinton to overtake Sen. Barack Obama to win the Democratic presidential nomination, Clinton told USA Today, "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on." As evidence, the story said, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.
"There's a pattern emerging here," Clinton said.
To many, it was a shocking statement — equating "hard-working Americans" with "white Americans" and a naked attempt to cast herself as "the white candidate" in the race.
But while bloggers, some columnists and editorial writers and some readers jumped on the comments, stories in the mainstream media downplayed them.
Even USA Today, to whom Clinton uttered the comment as a response to a general question about her campaign, broke the story under a bland Web site headline, "Clinton makes case for wide appeal."
An Associated Press story by Beth Fouhy seemingly attempted to validate Clinton's comments and to marginalize those who found them offensive.
Thursday's Chicago Sun-Times reflected the assessment of pundits that Hillary Clinton has no chance."Obama's campaign did not respond to the comments, which generated buzz in the liberal blogosphere," it said.
"Working-class whites overwhelmingly favor Clinton over Obama, and their view of the Illinois senator has grown increasingly negative since late last year, according to Associated Press-Yahoo News polling. In an AP-Yahoo survey a month ago, more than half or 53 percent of whites who have not finished college had negative impressions of Obama, up a 12 points since November."
By contrast, on NBC's "First Read" blog, Clinton's statement was immediately portrayed as a liability among superdelegates, who at this point will decide the nomination.
"It's comments like that one that might drive more supers toward Obama pretty quickly. Why? Because they know the math, but they don't want her to spend three weeks making a case that Obama can't win. It will only weaken him. Here's what Obama backer Chris Dodd said yesterday, per NBC's Ken Strickland. 'You're going to be asking a bunch of people [in West Virginia] to vote against somebody who's likely to be your nominee a few weeks later? And turn around and ask the very same people a few weeks later to reverse themselves and now vote for [Obama] on election day?'
