"It's going to be a close race," she told reporters about the April 22 primary in Pennsylvania, noting that rival Barack Obama just wrapped up a week-long bus tour and is spending heavily on TV ads.

"I am being outspent," she said, claiming the "Rocky" underdog role which she and Obama have been jockeying for this week.

...

Asked about reports that she had told New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who has endorsed Obama, that Obama can't win in November, Clinton said she strongly argues that she would be the strongest Democratic nominee, and sometimes that gets misinterpreted.

"I can win," she said at the news conference, held on the airport tarmac in Burbank, Calif., where she will appear later on "Tonight Show with Jay Leno." "I know I can win. That's why I'm in it."

13. Yuck. I hate whiney self-pity.

Especially when it comes from someone who has used many of the BushJr/Rove campaign tactics like HRC has.

YUCK.

Is this who she would be as president? "WAH! China increased it's interest rate on the U.S. Debt because they don't like me! WAH!"

[Cha]

25. You got it! There would be one freakin'

scandal and excuse after another when they weren't busy renting out The Lincoln Bedroom.

Welcome to DU, PoliticalAmazon~

[Me.]

So That Will Be The Excuse

The next question should be: Why hasn't she been able to raise more money?

[Lucky 13]

4. Because people are frivilous with their opinions, but not their money.

[Cha]

26. "Obama cultists

are generous, Liberal, Progressives who don't know what's good for them".

"I'm what they need!"

[LSparkle]

7. She always assumed she'd win the "money primary" ...

She still can't believe he's been able to outraise her.

And the primary ISN'T just about money; it's about IDEAS (which motivate
people to donate).

[Me.]

19. Inevitable?

If only assumptions were money

[Eric Condon]

8. Why, sexism, of course!

:sarcasm:

[jakem]

11. moneys is sexist.

[polichick]

2. Well, that's one way to look at it.

[FightingIrish]

3. She's being out-donated to.

[Cha]

28. That's the perfect counterblow..

hilary is being OUTDONATED. My My My.

[BlooInBloo]

5. I.e. she's being OUTDONATED. (one of Kirchoff's laws)

[BeyondGeography]

6. Poor widdle Hiwwawy, she only has the governor and just about every other bigwig on her side

:cry:

[Cha]

32. Yeah, bigwig eddie is the perfect sleaze

for a hilary surrogate and Bob Casey who, evidently, has integrity has endorsed Obama. hmmm.

[azmouse]

9. I think I'll send another $50 to Obama.

[BlooInBloo]

12. hahahaha!

[PoliticalAmazon]

15. Good idea, except I'll have my husband donate this time (increase Obama's contributor #s) n/t

[azmouse]

17. I should do that too.

Thanks for the idea. Good thing tomorrow is payday!

[BlooInBloo]

18. Donate thru DU!

[azmouse]

21. I needed that reminder.

I found the link on the GD page. I'd forgotten about donating that way.
Thanks.

[americanstranger]

10. Oh, for fuck's sake.

'Misinterpreted.'

How in the fuck can you misinterpret 'He can not win, Bill. He can not win?'

It's only four goddamn words (five if you count'Bill'), and she said them. I guess we have to trust Hillary over our own lying ears now.

- as

[BlueIdaho]

30. The same way you "misremember"

Bosnia

[book_worm]

14. She started with a 20 plus lead in the polls

It's not Obama's fault that her campaign is in debt.

[endarkenment]

16. The end of a failed campaign is never pretty.

[NJSecularist]

20. It's like watching a pending train wreck. n/t

[Teaser]

22. Hilary is going to win PA

there is no doubt of that.

The polls that show it real close are, right now, just picking up momemtum.

O has a chance, just a chance, to get inside 10%. Which will be just fine.

[ORDagnabbit]

23. maybe she can cry again and say that it was a vast right wing conspiracy that made her lie again and

again

[Vinca]

24. I suppose she's being outspent because she's a woman.

WAAAAAAAA!:cry: And I suppose Barack is bringing in all that money because people don't want a woman to win. WAAAAAAAA!:cry:

[TheDonkey]

27. Hillary you had 8 years of free exposure, time to get real.

[Zachstar]

29. Not this crap again.

Clinton if you can't spend the money needed and you can't get the support you need then it is time to EXIT!


So it looks like she is already into damage control mode. In a state where she was supposed to win big time.

This is it folks the final state of the failure that is the Clinton Campaign.

[NDambi]

31. Awwwwwww. the poor doll

[Nia Zuri]

33. Another $50 for Obama!

Coming right up....
