Harold Ickes Confirms That Wright Is Key Topic In Discussions

[gabeana]

With Super-Delegates

"The comments from Ickes, who is Hillary's chief delegate hunter, are to my knowledge the first on-the-record confirmation from a Hillary adviser that the Wright controversy is a subject in conversations between the Hillary campaign and the super-delegates her advisers are trying to win over to Hillary's side."

I'm sure some Hill supporters agree with this, but I think her lies/exaggerations/misspeaks whatever the term of the day is, is a bigger problem if she got in the G.E.

1. maybe they should ask them about how lying about sniper fire

is gonna play against the GOP slime machinations if she ever WAS the nominee-me thinks, not so good

[book_worm]

2. the nominee will be either Obama or somebody else, but it won't be Hillary

If it isn't Obama it won't be Hillary either. The party won't take her since she is doing everything to destroy her chief opponent for the nomination while playing footsie with McCain. No, if she continues to try to destroy Obama and succeeds the mud she has thrown and her own very low approval numbers will force the party to look elsewhere for a nominee. Hillary Clinton will not be president no matter what.

3. Not like Ickes has an ax to grind either, coming from an unbiased source this should

really scare the Obaman campaign. Or maybe not. :rofl:

4. The race card is all that Rambo Hillary's got

She needs to get the stupid-whitey vote or she doesn't have a chance in hell. What a pathetic individual she has shown herself to be.

5. stupid-whitey.....real classy.

6. What do you expect from someone that has a baby smoking in their sig line?

[Submariner]

9. It doesn't take a great leap of imagination

to see sHill(R-lite) can't get away from her teams race baiting. She's showing up on Fox noise and met with Scaife and keeps pumping the Rev Wright story. Try to keep up.

7. ya know - I hate this.

I'm sure Obama's people are talking to the SDs about Bosnia.

The fact is that both candidates are going to get beat up by the gopers - at least this time, we are ready.

I just wish this ugly stuff didn't get spread around the internet...this is the crap that hurts Dems.

[azmouse]

8. She's still doing this even after polls show going after Wright

hurt her more than Obama?

She's clueless.

10. (Ickes + Wright) talking to superdelegates =

[NJSecularist]

12. Ickes used to have some sway...

but by the look of that graph, it looks like that sway is all but gone. :rofl: :rofl:

[grantcart]

13. wright on

[Raine]

11. They are probably also discussing

how polls show that the Wright controversy hurt Hillary more than it hurt Obama.
