Hillary Clinton and Her Bogus Big State Argument
I’ve mentioned this bogus big state argument before, but to say that since one person wins one state in a democratic primary, that the other person will not, is such a house of cards argument, it makes you have to wonder why the media doesn’t shoot it down every time it is brought up. Obviously, they enjoy big bonuses brought in by American Idol style ratings.
If Barack is doing better than Clinton in polls now in California and about the same in New York (actually, a point better), then what does it matter that she won the primaries there, other than they weren’t enough to get her better than a second place finish in the overall competition for delegates. Oh, and when did the fact that delegates nominate give Hillary or Joe Scarborough the inclination that it matters what the popular vote that she’s also behind in matters?
It has become too painful to continue to see CNN, ABC and MSNBC hire all of their Republican/Clinton analysts (namely Tony Snow, Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, and George Stephanopolous…oh and throw in Wolf for being a moron) to tell Democrats why Hillary is such a great nominee because she won Pennsylvania (not that they would have any bias to have one or the other candidate win!). Never Mind the fact that the state is more female than any other, never mind the fact that it is older than any state other than Florida, and never mind that Hillary Clinton does her best with old women.
Now, is that a fault of Hillary that she does well in that demographic? Of course not, but it seems every Mississipi, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Louisiana, South, Carolina, or Red State, or Caucus State, or states with an “A” in the name are states that don’t count in the general election if Hillary lost it. Not to mention that she sends out her surrogates to say Barack only wins because he’s black in those states (or that he has more “A’s” in his name than she does).
Nothing should surprise you any more, but now she doesn’t want to count popular vote in states that held Caucuses, but does in states where he wasn’t on the ballot (hmmm, this sounds very Bush 2000 of you Hillary).
CNN and MSNBC want you to trust these people to tell you it was really bad that Barrack didn’t win a closed democratic primary where 58% of the voters were women and believe that they have no bias in doing so. Never mind that the race was mathematically over after Wisconsin, their bonuses are based on how long Hillary stays in the race.
Pat Buchanan (Nixon, Ford, & Regan adviser, MSNBC analyst and Clinton pusher)
Tony Snow (Fox New host, former Bush Communications Director…new CNN “analyst”)
Joe Scarborough (Host of ‘Morning Joe’, MSNBC “analyst”, former Republican Congressman and Clinton pusher)
George Stephanopolous (Host of ABC’s ‘This Week’, debate questioner/flag pin expert, Former Clinton Communications Director, also the guy who actually asked, “Sen. Obama, do you think Rev. Wright loves the country as much as you?”, but forgot to ask if Barack wanted to marry it.
