Now Hillary surrogates are counting TX as a "big swing state that matters"???
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 09:23 PM by jenmito
Lanny Davis just said, on LKL, that Hillary wins the big BATTLEGROUND states that matter, and included TX! (Even though OBAMA won the delegate count). They're now using every state Hillary "won" claiming SHE is winning in the electoral college vote so she should be the nominee. :eyes:

1. I thought red states didn't count.

2. Texas doesn't matter to you?
Well, gosh, I guess I'll just take my vote here in Ector County that voted 65% for Hil and stick it up my own ass, if it didn't matter.

Is that what you're trying to tell me to do with my Texas vote?

4. EVERY state matters to me. My point is the Hillary people's rationales change
every time she needs to change the goalposts. :eyes:

7. I know. I thought Limbaugh was going to be investigated for voter fraud.
But I haven't heard anything more about it.

11. investigating voters in Ohio roughly 16,000
might be able to catch a few who bragged or posted to others about crossing over. It was on Dan Abrams tonight. My dream is they'll turn on limpballs to

avoid prosecution. It's a longshot, but it be great.

15. Yup. Isn't it funny how the rules change according to the situation
"on the ground"? If she can't win with one argument, she tries another. When she stopped winning caucuses, they stopped mattering. When she stopped losing midwestern states, THEY stopped mattering, and on and on...

9. So the state where she dissed 3/4 of the voters (North, West, East TX)
now matters to her?

And we'll just forget about that little ol' lawsuit threat, let bygones be bygones, right, Hil? Lady, the TX voters came out in force for Obama, NOT YOU!!

14. "the states that matter"
Oldie but goddie from kos

"Iowa didn't matter because it was a caucus state, and it's undemocratic. Same goes for every other caucus state including Maine. The only caucus state that mattered was Nevada.

Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Alaska, and Utah don't matter because they're small Red states that Democrats won't carry in November.

Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana don't matter because they have black people. Expect the same spin out of DC this Tuesday. Black people don't apparently count.

Washington and Minnesota don't matter because they have educated white people.

In any case, Washington, Nebraska, and Louisiana didn't matter on Saturday because everyone expected Obama to win them anyway.

Virginia and Maryland, assuming they're won by Obama, will be a combination of the "black people" and "educated people" rationalizations. Throw a little of "Obama was expected to win anyway", and you've got the trifecta.

Illinois doesn't matter because that's Obama's home state. Expect the same spin when Obama wins Hawaii by double-digit margins in two weeks.

Missouri doesn't matter because Clinton sent out a press release claiming she won it.

Colorado was a caucus state, so that leaves Delaware and Connecticut. Those are the only two states that apparently matter, giving Hillary Clinton a commanding 10-2 lead among states that matter."
