Please oh please let us move on…I am so damn weary of the Clinton paths to the nomination…..if it continues, someone, somewhere will go postal.
In case there was any confusion, Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff this morning made very clear her path to the Democratic nomination. For the ump-teenth time and about a ga-zillion different ways to achieve the nomination.
This is the path as of 1638 hrs on 22 May 08, Have Michigan and Florida’s lost delegations seated in full, stretch the number needed for the nomination to 2,210 (from the 2,026 it is now without those states) and fight for the remaining pledged delegates and uncommitted super delegates.
Wolfson pointed out polls out today which suggest that Clinton would be a stronger candidate against presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in some key states including Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. He said those strengths give her an easier electoral map to follow to win the presidency that Obama in the fall – an argument which has been the central one to Clinton’s remaining in the race.
“Our case has to be made on who would be the best candidate against John McCain,” Wolfson said, adding that the Clinton campaign is not saying Obama could not win in key states – only that it may be harder for him to do so.
Now will this be the spin until June 4th? God I hope so, this whole Clinton path to nomination is a mind numbing experience.
