The weird jiujitsu of the Richardson/Clinton thing.
Last night George Snuffleopogus on ABCNews reported that in a conversation with Richardson (and presumably other superdelegates) that Clinton "starkly insisted" that Obama couldn't win.
There's been a bit of back and forth on this all day, but look where we are now. Now, Clinton is denying she ever said it. The next logical question would appear to be, "Do you think he can win the general election?"
She can't say a clean yes or her entire argument collapses, and she can't say a clean no or she's blasted by the party and her support collapses. Tricky, tricky spot.
She can work out of this, but it's definitely an "off message" couple of days.

it's a dogwhistle "hello" to the appalachian racists in PA and KY.

Sort of.
The only problem is that she has so many audiences at this point dissecting everything she says.

The only argument against Obama's chances in November is that of race: that the majority of the American electoral map is too racist to vote for a black man.
It may even be true. But it's just ugly. Especially coming from the inside. But the Clinton's aren't racist.... and CIA doesn't torture.
Sorry. Raw nerve on this today (Apr 4)
