Clinton Aides Doubtful About Future (Warn of "October Surprise" to Sink Obama in Fall)

Her aides also tried to stoke concerns yesterday among elected officials and party leaders, known as superdelegates, about whether Obama could win in November, with one warning of an "October surprise" that could ruin his chances.

. . .

A Clinton adviser said the situation was increasingly becoming one in which "she cannot be nominated and he can't get elected."

[ReagansRaiders]

They've got the dirt on him. Supposedly, they were going to use it before the PA primary, but then he imploded with his bitter small town comment and they didn't need to. They're keeping this in their pocket to sink him in Nov. so she can run again in 2012.

They've also go the dirt on former VA Gov. Mark Warner who is running for the U.S. Senate this year (particularly nasty stuff I might add.) That is the real reason why he didn't run. (Look for clues in that video as to the real reason. When it comes out, the clues will be pretty clear.)

"October surprise" that could ruin his chances."

If that was true a Clinton Proxy would have dropped it on Obama.

Larry Sinclair? He’s self destructed with ‘new’ accusations that Obama killed a former gay lover.

[ReagansRaiders]

Why drop it now when it won’t do any good and it gives him a chance to move past it? She’s patient and can wait.

“she cannot be nominated and he can’t get elected”

Kinda has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

[BlueStateBlues]

Watched the Mark Warner video, and I guess Im dense. What’s the clue? Gay (he seems gay in the interview)? On my quick look I’ve missed it.

[Dilbert San Diego]

while I understand the Clintons think Obama can’t win the general election, what I don’t understand is how any of that somehow makes Hillary more electable. Hillary has such high negatives that I am doubtful that she could win the general election. Yet according to the Clintons, Hillary is just soooo electable, while Obama is not. Okay.........

[pissant]

No, he did not self destruct. he is being interviewed by the Chicago PD though.

[Cyropaedia]

I was wondering why Warner didn't throw his hat into the ring.

He would have been the ideal choice for the Democrats.

A Clinton adviser said the situation was increasingly becoming one in which "she cannot be nominated and he can't get elected."

I pray that this is so.

[Anti-Bubba182]

“Why drop it now...?

So she can get the nomination herself.

[Revolting cat!]

Great, that means Huma will become available!

You could have video footage of Obama smoking crack with Osama Bin Laden while having sex with a goat at a Nazi cross burning, and it wouldn’t cost Obama a single vote.

...with one warning of an “October surprise” “

So basically she’s threatening the superdelegates AND Obama now...

[pissant]

Gotta love it.

[Ukiapah Heep]

What surprise? His closeness with his Pastor, Ayres and Dohrn is well known.

[BlueStateBlues]

Except for the PETA people, who would feel for the goat.

[LadyNavyVet]

There may be an October Surprise for Obama, but the Clintons don’t have it, or they’d have used it weeks or months ago. Hill and Bill want to win NOW, not four years from now. This is whistling past the graveyard by demoralised Clinton staffers, who bet on the wrong horse and will soon be out of a job.

That “October Surprise” is likely to be Wright’s new Book...
