Hysterically funny quote from Clinton's Comm. Director:

[mckeown1128]

Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson, on the campaign's conference call:

"It is possible that Senator Obama will come out of the night having won more delegates than , and it is possible that we will come out of the night having won more delegates than Senator Obama," he said. "I don’t think that either side is in a position to win appreciably more delegates than the other."

Also, some California gaming: "Judging by the Zogby poll, if Senator Obama doesn’t win by 13 points in California, it will have to be considered a disappointing evening."

He said that given the Kennedy "machine," it should also be considered a "disappointment" if Obama doesn't win Massachusetts.

And some sarcastic spin: "Whoever wins New York should be declared the winner and thus be given momentum and bragging rights," he said, arguing more seriously that the key would be retaining Clinton's lead in the overall delegate count, which includes superdelegates.

4. Talk about over the top spin

If he doesn't win CA by 13 points? I wonder if he said that with a straight face.

5. Spinning Wheel ... got to go round!

the spin begins

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

So, Ben Smith typed this gleefully...Well, it IS politico.

I don't even click on their snark on Obama, it makes me nuts. :mad:

I consider Politico the sneak preview of the coming election, whoever our nominee is, though.

6. Schuster asked if is was appropriate for Chelsea to be personally calling the Superdelegates

yesterday on MSNBC. I can't remember who was the guest now. They sure like these superdelegate people!

[Debi]

8. Sure it is - it's also appropriate to tell her (respectfully)

that they don't have to make up their minds until Denver.

7. How far ahead of Obama was Clinton a month ago in California?

Two weeks ago?

Last week?

:rofl:

[Araxen]

They are really up in arms over in the Clinton camp to be spewing this stuff. Their internals must be showing something very bad.

10. Exactly what I think. nt

[ElsewheresDaughter]

11. Politico is a RWingnut sourse...HELLOOOOOO......

Politico is financed by Robert Allbritton, chairman and chief executive of Allbritton Communications, which owns television stations in Washington and elsewhere. Frederick J. Ryan Jr., former Assistant to U.S. President Ronald Reagan<2>, and currently chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation, is president and CEO of The Politico.<3>

14. Even if they were...

Did they MAKE the Hillary camp say this? Don't attack the source, because you don't like the facts.

[CreekDog]

12. It's a pity that lying isn't a sin anymore

Because all this spin makes it hard to figure out what people really think.

[grantcart]

13. and next coming up will be something like

the reason that Obama is out performing us in raising money is because they are so far behind on the street.
