Bill Clinton: Momentum is changing in Democratic race
The Fayetteville Observer ^ | 4/29/08 | ap

Posted on 04/29/2008 4:24:48 PM PDT by mdittmar

Former President Bill Clinton says momentum is changing in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, telling voters in western North Carolina not to count his wife out.

During a stop Tuesday in Boone, Clinton alluded to Appalachian State University's 34-32 upset last year against fifth-ranked Michigan. Like the Mountaineers, he said Hillary Rodham Clinton can pull off an unexpected victory in the state's May 6 primary.

Polls have shown Clinton trailing rival Barack Obama in North Carolina. But Clinton said, "Whenever someone tells you you can't win, it's because they're afraid you will. "

About 2,000 people packed a gym at Appalachian State to hear the former president speak. He was headed to North Wilkesboro, Elkin and Mount Airy later in the day.

Sorry, guys, but I respectfully disagree.

She's still a weak candidate, with at 50% of voters saying they'll never vote for her. And this was before the Dawning of the Age of Obama. She gets the nom; you think Obama supporters are gonna shower her with kisses?

And you react to Bubba's spin as the Gospel Truth? C'mon! This sleazoid white-trash ex-President is slowly losing his mind. And you take his verbal vomit as some sort of absolute Truth?

Gimme a break. The Lord works in mysterious ways; these two charlatans, even if elected, won't last 30 days in the WH.

I agree with you.
It’s like a burglary occurs at my house, a suspect is arrested and I go to the trial to testify in favor of the thief who stole from me. Ain’t gonna happen.

Absolutely. The current kerfuffle against Wright will bring Black voters out of the woodwork. No way they are going to let The Man beat up on their "pastor." It will put the OJ jury to shame. The idiot white girls who have been mesmerized by the Magic Negro will vote for him even if it turns out he's a father killer/mother raper.

Will be one of those times Democrats say they won, even though they lost.

The whole Wright speech and OBama reaction was an OBama PR strategy to tick off the black voters in NC. Its as phony as Osama Obama himself.

The Clintons used religion and the race card to destroy Obama. They did this to a fellow traveler. Just think what they will do their enemies?

Unqualified and inexperienced Hillary's only salvation in her stupid ineffective campaign for the presidency was to Wag the Rev.

Sad, very sad. It's not about issues, but Obama's Reverend Wright.

If Obama does well in NC, will Bill Clinton talk about how Jesse Jackson did when he ran for pres. in ‘84 and ‘88 again???

The Clintons have to be very happy because all along, they wanted to tag Obama as merely a black candidate. This Rev. Wright thing is so fortunate for Billary. heck maybe Billary even orchestrated this whole thing.
