Sisters, we're not finished yet

Thursday, 8th May 2008

There’s no sign yet that Hillary is preparing to exit the race. Last night at a fundraiser for her female supporters she declared:

“When I was counted out in New Hampshire, it was the women of New Hampshire who came back and said no, she’s not finished yet,” Clinton also said. “When I was counted out before Super Tuesday, it was women from California to Massachusetts who came and said no, we’re not finished yet”
This kind of comment won’t worry the Obama camp as they are about her not him. But her interview with USA Today when she talked about his trouble winning over white working class voters will. Ironically, the more she points to Obama’s general election flaws, the more she will push super delegates towards him who fear that these criticisms could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
