The head of U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign refused to concede Sunday that she has no chance to win the Democratic presidential nomination.
Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Terry McCauliffe said it is still possible for Clinton to win the nomination, even though most pundits have concluded that she cannot overtake her rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, to become the Democratic Party nominee.
"Look, tomorrow -- something new could happen," said McCauliffe. "Nothing's impossible. You are talking to Terry McAuliffe. I don't believe anything in life is impossible."
McAuliffe argued that Clinton would be a stronger candidate than Obama against Sen. John McCain, the likely Republican nominee. He said she would beat McCain in Florida, a major swing state.
Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., who endorsed Obama after abandoning his own presidential campaign, said he expects Clinton and her supporters to rally behind Obama if and when Obama when he becomes the nominee.
"This is not 1968 when we were highly divided, racial tensions in the country, the anti-war movement, Democrats split over those issues," Dodd said. "The difference between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on substantive issues is rather narrow."
“This is not 1968 when we were highly divided, racial tensions in the country, the anti-war movement, Democrats split over those issues,” Dodd said.
Oh,really?
Buy ice skates, the sleaze is coming!
yes she can. and you can win the lottery, too. so ante up!
Don’t count out the Clinton’s, and even if they were out, don’t think that Obama will emerge unscathed from the Dems’ Denver Convention.
Read this thing three times … no way does Hitlary get the nomination, unless Obama gets hit by lightening.
“...McCauliffe: Hillary Can Still Win Nomination”
I hope she does. There will be carnage at the convention!
For that reason I doubt that happens but it would be delicious.
You can almost see the Clinton’s gun behind the studio curtain pointed at Terry’s back as he speaks.
Somebody tell Terrible Terry that Hillary is more done than the pulled pork at Dinosaur BBQ (an Syracuse-inside joke for the native).
She can win. The Clintons (and McCauliffe himsel) have shown they can win. Look, Bill finished his second term after messing with an intern. Who else could have pulled that off? Hillary and Bill escaped jail time while others took the hit, left the country or pled the fifth. McCauliffe escaped jail after milking the investors at Global Crossing and was able to buy the Clintons’ New York home. State Farm, which never pays an umbrella policy claim when there is a possible violation of the law, paid off Paula Corbin Jones.
There were all kinds of things with the Clintons that “never could happen” but they did. She can win.
Obamarama had better double his and his family's security detail. I truly believe the Hildabeast and her people are capable of dastardly deeds to insure her win.
Is mccauliffe sending a message to the secret service that he's coming for obamma???
ROFL!
"Knows something about it?!" They're working on it 25/8!!
“Embalm, cremate and bury. Take no chances.”
Has anyone seen Messrs Livingstone and Marceca lately?
Wow, that is almost an incriminating statement. Terry better hope "something new" isn't traceable back to him. Then again, it could be a Monty Python skit. McAuliffe sounds like one of the Vercotti brothers - "'Cos things break, don't they?"
