Easy answer. Senator Clinton will do more to energize the Republican base than almost anyone else can. Nominating her is a gift to McCain. He can sit back and watch his party go after her on his behalf.

I just don't want another four years of the Clinton drama, and anyone who remembers those years should be very afraid of the Clinton's ability to sink their own ship.

Chuck,
Here are the Clinton's own similar comments:
If voters want to avoid being labeled hypocrites and if they believe Obama is the one who is arrogant and elitist, in an article on Time.com, Hillary was quoted as saying:
"During the 1990s,
I cannot remember being asked about immigration. Why? Because the economy was working.
And average Americans didn't have to go around looking for others to blame" (does she think Americans blame their problems on scapegoats?)
Bill Clinton was also quoted as saying (repeatedly):
"The reason (George H. W. Bush's tactic) works so well now is that you have all these
economically insecure white people who are scared to death."
Bill's was reported by the Los Angels Times and Hillary's by the NY Sun.

Its up to you PA — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:34:24 GMT

Please read...
I don’t know how many “test” Obama must receive before people began to see his strengths and abilities to lead this country. We now have McCain and Clinton (all 3 of them) coming down on Barack and he is now showing his abilities to fight back.

I find it funny that HRC has a commercial from “rural people” saying – “I’m not bitter”… well the people in the commercial are standing in a CITY and truly don’t look that “rural” to me. He should fire back with a commercial of “rural people” (farmers, small towns, etc)… those people ARE bitter. Heck… … I’m bitter! Our government is looking out for others before taking care of our own. McCain and Clinton are as out of touch as Bush… but hey… … … they come from the same old politics.

It is time that we end this and I feel a BIG upset getting ready to happen in PA. It is time for us to come together – men, women, young, old, black, white… and stand behind our next president – Obama. We can not stand for him to continue to be broken down over what we know in our hearts is right.

Something fishy with these polls. Hillary will win Pennsylvania by at least 15%. Murtha has guaranteed it.

I agree with the Philly Inquirer but I would encourage folks to think down ballot as well as on the top...we not only want a Democrat in the White House but also on Capitol Hill. Who has brought out lots of Dems all season (Obama), who brings out the anti-Dems also known as Republicans (Clinton). Obama shows strength over-time and has run a wonderful campaign (admittedly with a few gaffes), Clinton's campaign has been a disaster and her negatives grow with time.

In terms of the polls, the one thing I predict is that more women will come to Obama. I think, woman, in particular are turned off in increasing numbers by Hillary's brand of campaigning and increasingly (although they want to see a woman in the White House), they think about the role model Hillary is now being for their daughters. I hear that all the time...not what we want our daughters to act like...the winning at all costs, the desparation, the sloppiness of campaign leadership, the in it for yourself at the expense of the Party. Not what women are all about.

Ed Rendell's not very consistent is he? I'm curious how he seems to Pennsylvanians though.

dont trust Obama chicago il — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:41:49 GMT

I am from Chicago, Latino and I can’t wait to see the PA people paying back Obama for his ridiculous and insensitive comment. The biggest problem is that we don’t know about that guy, the media is protecting his identity so much that we don’t even know exactly what he really stand for.

Well, yeahh, he speaks a lot about his belief, but, one thing is what he said and other thing what he does. For example, he talk a lot about loving the country, but the kind of friends he has, whoa re so meaningful to him are very interesting people to watch. Like Mr. J. W.
He is against NAFTA, but his advisor told the Canada government does not worry; he is not going to do what he is talking.

He is against the war, (the based of his campaign), but he is funding it, and his advisor stated that he is not going to be able to do what he is saying.

Obama said he is for and understand poor people, but he called them “bitter” group.

Obama said he is going to bring changes, ja ja ja ja ja, yeahh, it remind me Bush, with his message of changes, oh yeahh, we got great change with Bush…

The worst is that most of African American are not putting attention, they are controlled by the emotion, they just want to have a black president even if it means the end of this country.
Many more are controlled by the media who is working so hard to protect and present Obama as the Great Obama.

What could we expect form someone who doesn’t want even to use his second name and is hiding so much of him? DON’T TRUST OBAMA, IS MY MESSAGE TO YOU GUYS. I said the same thing about Bush and the result show that I was right.

Don’t trust Obama for your own safety…
I am Joan, and I approved this message….

Seriously, it kills me that the opposition can find nothing bad to say about Obama ... they use guilt by association, and twisting his words ... good, old-fashioned politics, but it is hilarious that Clinton and McCain could remove the silver spoons from their mouths long enough to call elitist the community organizer who pulled himself up by his bootstraps and earned scholarships and became our most improbable presidential candidate in history.

Sick of corruption, sick of the Clintons — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:59:37 GMT

Don't trust Obama:

So, should I trust Hillary and her sleazy husband? Yeah, let's trust the people who pardoned four FALN terrorists at the end of Bubba's term. Let's trust the people who pardoned fugitive financier Marc Rich in exchange for campaign donations. Let's trust the people who brazenly stole furniture from the White House, and returned it only when the Justice Department ordered them to.

By the way, is Hillary sweating yet? She should be. The Peter Paul trial starts soon.

If you want to compare Obama and Clinton for trustworthiness, it is not even close.

Hillary should change her campaign slogan. It should be "My husband cheated on me, so I should be President of the United States".

Obama in 2008. Integrity matters and the Clintons have none.

I hope the democrats and the voting public do not once again allow themselves to be distracted by these non issues (remember the Swiftboat saga), thus allowing the Republicans to once again slide into the White House. Clinton is lifting her tactics right from the Rove playbook and it will backfire on Democrats next fall, regardless of the nominee. The more the democrats critcise each other over character traits, the more credible those criticisms become to the public at large. Please PA, end this primary nightmare. It this goes on much longer, it won't matter who wins the nomination, because they will lose in November.
Thanks Hillary, for helping cripple the whole party.

More polls coming out...The Survey USA poll, while it still has Clinton up 14 points in Penn, that is down 4 points from their last poll 10 days ago. The new Rasmussen poll has Clinton up by 9 points, versus 5 points in their last polling, but certainly not some landslide against Obama since the comments he made. Couple this with this Quinnipiac poll and so far his numbers seem to be holding in the reasonable area. If he is able to pull off a less than 10% loss in Penn after all this and her power there, that would be something. As it is, she will need to win at least 60% of the vote to make any sizeable impact on his delegate lead.
