HILLARY COSTING HERSELF VOTES
Dick Morris.com ^ | 2/18/2008 | Dick Morris

Posted on 02/19/2008 9:49:19 AM PST by Signalman

The more the Clinton campaign talks about using super delegates to override the will of the people and using the credentials fight over Michigan and Florida to nullify Obama’s victories, the more she is creating those very victories by showing how old line, arrogant, and authoritarian she and her campaign really is. The image the campaign is presenting to the electorate is uniformly negative. She is threatening to cast aside the will of the voters and to coast to victory sponsored by the entitled establishment of the party. This is a recipe for losing so many primaries and so many caucuses that she can’t win no matter how many strings she pulls. That is precisely the situation in which she finds herself. By trumpeting her survival strategy to anyone who will listen, she nullifies the chances she had to survive the primaries and caucuses with a lead.

And this is news? The Super Delegates have been their 'Firewall' all along.

Morris gets it wrong....a lot, but this makes good sense and we’ll know pretty soon anyway.

Hopefully we are seeing the last days of the Clintons and the last days of Dick Morris also.

Great! The Clinton political apparatus could soon be a fossilized relic in the dustbin of history. I can't imagine a rosier scenario...a change I can TRULY believe in...and Texas Republicans can help...

Morris is also urging Texas Repubs to exercise their 'open' primary right to...VOTE FOR OBAMA! Please...

Do it!

I don’t care what she does, as long as she hits the ground hard. Can’t wait till she looses. It gets harder and harder to keep patient. I wanta take bets on who she is going to blame.

Being that the Clintons are some of the most bigoted and racist people you will ever come across, it is especially sweet that it was a black man that buried them.

The whole REASON she's talking about them, is to scare them into not defecting.

She doesn't give a rip about the electorate, at this point. Hillary just wants to make sure that the super delegates know that she's watching them, and that if she pulls this off, she'll bury anyone who strayed from the reservation.

VOTE FOR OBAMA! Please...

Why to make it tougher for Republicans to capture the White House and make it more likely a Democrat is in the White House for eight years?

I earlier read that hitlery would be easier to defeat in the national election than muhammed.

Of course, if all the pubbies have is another rino, what's the difference?

Because the alternative is a dictator who rules by fiat.
