Hillary is also the one that voted for the Iraq war without reading the NIE report!

    Hillary turns fire on media

    Politico- Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is increasingly aiming its punches not at her front-running opponent Barack Obama, but at the media.

    On the campaign trail, in a new ad and in her meetings with donors and superdelegates, she blasts the D.C. punditocracy for counting her out and urges anyone who’ll listen to ignore the hardening storyline that places Obama as the Democratic presidential nominee.

    The goal is twofold. Clinton, a New York senator, wants to stanch the flow of uncommitted superdelegates to Obama, an Illinois senator, by convincing them she can still win the nomination. She also wants to generate a protest vote in the four states that have yet to hold primaries, as well as in Puerto Rico.

    The Clinton camp believes a media backlash drove up turnout among her supporters in West Virginia, which last week delivered a landslide 67 percent to 26 percent victory for her.

    “Because I believe that I am better prepared to be president and I am more likely to be able to win, I don’t care what the pundits say. I’m going to leave it up to the voters,” Clinton said Friday night at a televised town hall meeting at Portland’s NBC affiliate. She said pundits have been counting her out “since Iowa and the voters always prove them wrong. I mean, I’ve been declared dead so many times and luckily it’s been premature and I’m hoping it stays premature.”

    Also on Friday, Clinton’s campaign began airing an ad in Oregon, which holds its primary Tuesday, that pits her against the Beltway media elites.

    The ad, titled “What’s Right,” shows video snippets of a cadre of television show hosts who have dismissed or downplayed Clinton’s chances – NBC’s Tim Russert, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and MSNBC anchors Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

    Their voices are muted, and a narrator intones over their images: “In Washington, they talk about who’s up and who’s down. In Oregon, we care about what’s right and what’s wrong.”

    Not really sure what the Clintons think they are accomplishing. If Obama wins Hillary’s presidential dream is done. If Obama loses, most Democrats are going to point at her and say “This is YOUR fault Hillary” and her dream is done.

    She might of been viable in the future if she had bowed out gracefully back in Feb. Now she has burned so many bridges there is no going back

    JK,

    Why should she quit? I wish Mitt Romney would have continued on the GOP side, take it all the way to the convention the old fashioned way.

    The delegate selection process being finalized today at the GA GOP State Convention really means nothing. Those selected will sell their souls in order to get a pass to the nat’l convention…they will promise to support McCain no matter how liberal his record is and will continue to be.

    I hope we move toward a grass roots selection process where precinct, county, district and state conventions really mean something. Right now, it is a big joke.

    You’re really very good at blaming everyone — but, particulary Sen. Clinton — for the high crimes of the Dubious malAdministration.

    “I hope we move toward a grass roots selection process”

    There is absolutely nothing “grass roots” about your big government, big budget Republican party.

    I’ll take another tax break please… my 4 year-old won’t mind paying for the war on terror (with interest).

    Mr Konop,

    Show me, just one time, that you are at least as “fair and balanced” as that so-called news channel.

    Just once, point to someone, anyone else when you lay the blame for invading, destroying and occupying another sovereign nation for no good reason.

    If you don’t, then I am right: you solely blame Sen. Clinton.

    I have been attacked by liberals and conservatives for telling the truth about Iraq. You just have your head in the sand about Hillary and Bill.

    David

    Why do you support the racist attacks on Obama from Hillary and Bill?

    Why do you agree with Hillary voting to give Bush the right to expand the Iraq war into Iran?
