I'm getting really tired of the argument by Bill Clinton that Hillary is best suited to win the election in November because she has won bigger states than Obama.
So, you're telling me that Democratic voters that prefer Hillary in the primaries are not going to vote for Obama in November and instead vote Republican and vote for McCain? That's some seriously absurd logic. True, people prefer one or the other, but at the end of the day doesn't it come down to the fact that goal of the Dems is to make serious efforts towards turning Washington around and changing the direction from where we've gone in the past 7 years?
I just don't get his argument at all. They will stop at NOTHING to confuse voters and tip the scales their way.
Just read this:

From NBC/NJ’s Mike Memoli
Here are some interesting quotes from two small Bill Clinton events in South Bend, Ind., this morning. The first is from a Dyngus Day celebration at the West Side Democratic Club:"She can win this race, and we have got to win. And she will win in Florida. And I must say that this new strategy of denying and disempowering and disenfranchising the voters in Florida and Michigan is I believe a terrible mistake. Hillary believes their votes should be counted. And I don't know how we're gonna go to those people in the general election and say you gotta vote for us even though we dumped all over you in the primary. We let New Hampshire go out of turn. They had a Democratic Secretary of State. The Florida voters are totally innocent. They asked to vote on time. So for all those reasons I think she's the most electable.”
The second quote is from a Solidarity Day event at an Elks club:
"I think she can win the election. And I believe that she will win Ohio, Florida, West Virginia, and Arkansas -- four states that we have lost the last two times. If we win Ohio and Florida, it's inconceivable that we could lose the election. And I think that we are running the risk of throwing both Florida and Michigan away if she doesn't get nominated because of the events of the last few days where there has been a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise those voters. And don't you think there has not been a message there. Don't you think that they didn't get it?
“And Sen. McCain is not going to be easy to beat; he has always run well in Michigan. He will run pretty well in Florida. She can win. Look, if we win these four states we will win the White House; there is no point in doing this if we are not going to win."
- the argument is bullshit, meant to obscure the truth, like most of what the clinton campaign says********
- Clinton is proposing to win by the exact same way method that Gore and Kerry lost. Figure that one out.TheBlueOne
