Hillary Clinton - Queen of Denial

Posted on May 15, 2008

Although Clinton won West Virginia by a forty-one point margin, she still trails Barack Obama in pledged delegates, superdelegates and the popular vote. And now that John Edwards has given his support to Obama, Hillary is facing even more calls for her to withdraw from the race. Dawn Teo at The Huffington Post writes: ‘(Joe) Trippi’s admission that he wishes he had advised Edwards to stay in the race could be taken as a nod to Hillary Clinton that it’s ok to stay in the race, but I don’t think so. I think it was simply meant to soften the blow of these specific words: “Would he be grinding out delegates only to be in a position to cut a deal at the convention for his own gain?” Of course, Trippi will be on the media circuit over the next few days, answering questions about Edwards, and I’m sure this will come up. I’m betting that he’ll say over and over that Edwards exited the race for the good of the country - this will be a hint to Clinton.’

Hillary doesn’t take hints. But we do like that she said this yesterday: “I’m going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is. Obviously, I’m still hoping to be that nominee, but I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Senator Obama.”

Words of wisdom.

Former presidential candidate John Edwards said today that he is throwing his support behind Sen. Barack Obama. “The reason I’m here tonight is because the Democratic voters have made their choice, and so have I,” he told the cheering crowd.
