Clinton: I have best chance vs. GOP
By AMY LORENTZEN, Associated Press Writer 56 minutes ago
Hillary Rodham Clinton maintained Sunday that she's the best candidate to win against Republicans, saying she has more experience battling the GOP than any other candidate in the Democratic field.
"I believe that I have a very good argument that I know more about beating Republicans than anybody else running. They've been after me for 15 years, and much to their dismay, I'm still standing," she said in answer to a woman's question about her electability. "I'm leading in all the polls, I'm beating them in state after state after state."
Clinton has been widely criticized by her Democratic rivals who claim she's too polarizing, and can't bring the party together to win the White House.
But she says she has support from around the country, including "more Democratic support from the so-called red states than anybody else running." She told the crowd of hundreds gathered at Perry High School that she has more U.S. senators supporting her than her rivals, as well as other lawmakers from states that "Democrats have a hard time winning."
"I think they have looked at the field and figured out who can best beat the Republicans," Clinton said.
She added that when she ran for the Senate in 2000, a lot of people argued that she couldn't win.

In other words, “please disregard the polls showing Barack ahead in Iowa.”
An old yellow dog could run for Senate in New York, and if there was a D next to its name, that bitch would win too ...
As tom lantos says, “i’m not buying-ga it”....
ROTF! Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, eh?
Unless, of course, the GOP nominates a RINO....
God bless flyover country..
Forget a third party. We need a second one....
“They’ve been after me for 15 years, and much to their dismay, I’m still standing,” [Clinton] said in answer to a woman’s question about her electability. “I’m leading in all the polls, I’m beating them in state after state after state.”
Translation:
“Ahh, but the strawberries that’s... that’s where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist.”
I think she might be right. As unelectable as she is, the witless wonder osamabama and the transgendered brecky have an even less chance of winning a national election than she does.
LOL! Who were those people?
We never brought up Bill Clinton's sexual dalliances, but many ordinary Americans did. "She couldn't keep her own home together, so how can we trust her to manage America?" asked Micki Martinson, a housewife in Somerset, Pennsylvania.
People remember the sleaze...
...battle tested against Republicans...
Snort. I'd like some of what that voter was smoking.
Battle tested against John Spencer? Not when the state GOP bailed on him. He was cannon fodder.
And note to the GOP: Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
Hillary Clinton’s lesbian scandal comes into public eye again
For some reason the above thread just sprang to mind :)
And I'm still not sure what to make of the story...
Why is when I read these articles, I get the idea Bob Dole?
she also failed to mention the weakness of rick "the loser" lazio and the lapdog NYC media.. no free ride this time SHRILLERY
Well, contrary to those Freepers whistling past the graveyard, she is 100% right.
There isn’t another leftist loon that stands an equal chance of winning everything in 08, and the clintons will dump Rudy into the waste-bin of historical footnotes, to the background cheering of the MSM.
For anyone with a D next to the name, the 08 electoral count looks very good indeed.
Who here would have thought that a traitor and a political nobody from the uber liberal Socialist States of the NE would come within one state of beating an incumbent president during a time of open warfare and unparalleled economic prosperity?
Its "anyone but the GOP" now, and that is what it is.
Oh yes, she will be very, very difficult to beat, and everyone here should look to that unpleasant fact and stop serving nothing constructive by constant denial.
The Clintons have a formidable political machine, and after Super Tuesday, they will be poised to flatten our struggling contenders as flat as a pancake with the aid of their 5th column allies unless we are prepared to outright take some of those electoral vote counts from them.
This is not about doing a good job as president: This is about “beating the Republicans.” No need to qualify to do a good job.
That is EXACTLY right. We can scream about her negatives, but with millions of illegals, millions of anti-war zealots, MSM 24/7 Hildabeast promotions that have gone on for the past 7 years, etc., etc., she can waltz in with the "let's give a woman a chance" female voters who will vote for "one of their own"....in my worst nightmare, the womens' vote will win it for her.
And yet, the old yellow dog trailed Giuliani until he dropped out to recover from cancer.
Someone posted a story a few weeks back, showing the numbers of both her Senate races. Despite facing token opposition both times, she still got significantly fewer votes than Gore in 2000 (counting only NY voters) or Spitzer in 2006.
whatta laugh!
“too polarizing!”
