Hillary Clinton Hiring Montana Staff

I'll believe it when I see it. (0.00 / 0)

Like the Clinton's have the money to do this when their are 4 states with over 100 delegates at stake left(Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania, North Carolina) and it's still over 3 months away.

This is just the Clinton lie machine trying to pander to states that they claim are important until they lose them and then they are not important.

Let's hope Rob Hill ends up back in Montana where he belongs and he'll deliver the state for another straight talking democrat.

Oh and Hillary putting money into the Wyoming? The list of reasons it doesn't count(unless she wins it):
1. It's a red state
2. It's a small state
3. It's a caucus state
4. It has 12 pledged delegates
5. It ends in an ing

Lies, Lies, Lies

Hillary's not worried (0.00 / 0)

According to Howard Wolfson, her communications director, even if Obama gets more pledged delegates during the primary season she can count of party bigwigs to put her over the top in the convention.

Their very outfront with their anti-democratic strategy.

And for every Wolfson (0.00 / 0)

there is a David Wilhelm (former Bill Clinton campaign manager and DNC chairman), who just came out and endorsed Obama, to say the superdelegates will do otherwise.

All this talk in the Clinton camp about getting the superdelegate vote to put her ahead of Obama is just an attempt to maintain an air of inevitability in the face of a loss in the public primary/causus vote.

Hopefully it will backfire, and propel Obama even further ahead, as Democrats in upcoming primaries begin to see the primary for what has become: old school Dem, back door, smoke filled room power politics vs. a new generation of ideas and leadership. A vote for the former may ensure a republican victory, while a vote for the latter is a vote to move out of 20th century quagmire politics into a new era.

There's stories all over the place (0.00 / 0)

just Google wilhelm + obama and take your pick. I listened to him talk about it on Hardball last night. The old time Clinton faithful are wavering, and starting to cross the line. You should have seen Carville squirming as he tried to spin it on CNN. Priceless.

Innovative? (0.00 / 0)

The thing is, she already missed the boat on some small states. For example, Obama was the only one with an office in Alaska and, lo and behold, he won the state. I don't think this is any great innovation for Hillary but rather learning her lesson from her super Tuesday defeats.
