Bill Clinton blames Obama surge on primary timing
The Union Leader ^ | January 8, 2008 | Kristen Senz

Posted on 01/08/2008 3:51:16 AM PST by Past Your Eyes

CLAREMONT – Former President Bill Clinton said the timing of the New Hampshire primary is to blame if his wife, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, doesn't beat Illinois Senator Barack Obama in their quest for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Asked by a voter in Claremont how the Clinton camp planned to propel itself past Obama, Clinton said, "The answer is there might not be enough time, because New Hampshire made a decision that I didn't agree with."

He said the state gave up much of its political sway by holding its primary so close to last Thursday's Iowa caucus. With more time, he said, more voters would begin to question the substance behind the Obama campaign.

What a pitiful, pathetic piece of excrement and sorry excuse for a man this turkey is. Maybe Obama will help push the two of them off the national stage once and for all.

These two are pathetic. Bill doesn't want his wife to win.

Iowans are morons and New Hampshire missed an opportunity to vote for her highness because they went against Bills wishes.

Yeh. They held it. And Hillary appears to be losing. Same thing happened in Iowa.

Good grief, I just realized that I have insulted turkeys. Please, all you turkeys, accept my humblest of apologies.

This moron KNOWS that the collapsed timing was ORCHESTRATED by the Clintonites to give Hillary early and easy wins, thus giving her the “Aura” of “Inevitability”.

We should be THANKING the people of Iowa and New Hampshire not allowing the DNC to rig the election process!

So according to the Clinton campaign we have:

Stupid Iowans and
Ill-timed New Hampshirites.

Is there a pool for IDing the Clinton trash labels for the Michigan and South Carolina voters?

LOL!

Just then the former President's cell phone rang and he tried to answer it, explaining that only his wife has the number. Apparently, the phone went dead when he picked it up, and he continued with his remarks

Actually, it's an electronic bracelet.

WaPo has this MUST-SEE video that doesn't bode well for Clinton:

The Washington Post ^ | Akira Akuta
The video is 3:43 minutes long. But starting at the 2:00 minute mark, you can see that the crowd was getting bored and many of them got up and left even as Hillary was still on stage talking. This video is depressing for Hillary and her supporters. It summed up "how well" her campaign is doing right now in New Hampshire. Here's a link to the Washington Post's video: http://www.washingtonpost.com

Michiganders can ONLY chose between HILLARY, Kucinich, or Gravel, with NO write-ins allowed.

Wouldn’t it be HOOT if GRAVEL got Michigan’s delegates instead of Hillary?

If Hillary gets them, REST ASSURED, they will be seated by the Clinton-Controlled Dem wonks at convention.

If Gravel or Kucinich get them, the “Penalty” will stand...

How about Obama is surging and Hillary is tanking because Mrs. Clinton just isn’t very likable?
Fact is most folks just plain DON’t like her.
