After the NV Caucus Defeat what excuse do you think Clinton
will offer to walk away from the results - like they did in Iowa by dissing the caucuses after they came in third?

"My opponents ran a great race and I congratulate them, but . . . ?"



" The caucuses were unfair?"

" The Atlarge delegates were unfairly weighted?"

"There was no picture ID for entry and lots of illegals voted?"

"The media was biased?"

"________________________________"

or they leave off the "but"?

3. As much as I don't like it, I don't think she'll lose.
I hate the idea of her being the nominee, I really do - I think it's terrible for the party and the country. But the NV polls show her doing very well.

Face it, she's got the bucks and the lack of morals to do whatever it takes.

23. Nevermind the polls -
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 04:17 PM by NCevilDUer
her people own the NV Democratic establishment. They won't LET her lose.

EDIT:

But SC will more than make up for it - twice the delegates.

12. I doubt that Hillary would have anything other than congratulations to Obama or Edwards.
Now, if by "Clinton" you were to mean Bill, all bets are off. There is no telling what Bill would say or do. :)

13. Clinton is favored in NV. Obama or Edwards winning there will be an upset.

16. I think Clinton will win NV
that is just my opinion, but she has a stronger firewall in NV (along with the DEM party ) backing her that I say it is hers to lose.

19. Wasn't I reading this same crap right before the New Hampshire primary?
Why don't we just wait for the voters to decide.

24. Clinton, Edwards, and Obama will not say anything following the NV primary caucus...
at least not until Dennis Kucinich files his lawsuit.
