Bill Clinton: Hillary Can Still Win

Share

May 08, 2008 12:38 PM

ABC News' Sarah Amos Reports: Bill Clinton insists Hillary can still win the Democratic nomination.

"Don't believe all this stuff you read in the press, she can still win this thing if you vote for her big enough," Clinton told a cheering crowd of over 500 packed into the City Hall gym in Phillippi, West Virginia.

"We are gonna have to resolve Michigan and Florida and when we do she can win the popular vote," Clinton said, quickly adding, "all this raining on her parade is designed to discourage people from voting here. Because it is important not just that she win, but that she win with a large number of the registered voters going to the polls. So the most important thing you can do, is to do that."

Clinton said he was proud of her narrow win in Indiana but also had praise for her loss in North Carolina.

"She started out about 22 or 23 points behind in North Carolina, she started out 8 or 10 points behind in Indiana. It was the first state that borders Illinois and the first state that she has come from behind to win, and she did it being outspent 4 to 1. I think that is pretty good don't you?" Clinton asked.

The former President explained much of Senator Clinton's large loss in North Carolina as a result of early voting.

"All the parts of North Carolina that look like West Virginia she won like a house on fire. And she did pretty well in other places. What happened is, a fourth of the people voted in advance and she lost that vote 2 to 1 'cause we weren't there and she didn't have the money. But when she got there, the actual election day vote, from the best I can calculate it, was about seven percent which, given the Democratic break-up, make-up of North Carolina, is a huge, huge showing," asserted Clinton.

Clinton, nicknamed the "Comeback Kid" in his successful 1992 primary and general election campaign has never been known for giving up -- or liking to lose.

Making five stops in West Virginia Thursday -- more events than Sens. Clinton, D-N.Y., Barack Obama, D-Ill., and presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. combined -- it is clear he views this campaign as being far from over.

The Clinton plan seems to be anchored on an overwhelming win in West Virginia, which could help convince superdelegates that Sen. Clinton is still the best choice for a Democratic nominee.

"It is all riding on you. Don't you be discouraged. You gotta have a big, big, big vote in West Virginia," Clinton said. "Don't let anybody tell you it doesn't matter, I'm not gonna go vote. It does matter. Aren't you glad that this thing got all the way to the end and you matter? You have been given a massive opportunity."

"She won't quit on you," Clinton implored on behalf of his wife, "So don't you quit on her."

At Clinton's second event in Sutton, he not only trumpeted Hillary's win in Indiana, but pointed out that Obama had earlier deemed the state to be a tie-breaker.

"In Indiana she came roaring from behind, in the first state that borders Illinois, was out-spent 4 to1, 4 to 1, and won anyways, because of people like you and places like this," Clinton told a crowd that had gathered in a local barn to hear him speak.

Clinton has become Hillary's champion of rural American during the course of this campaign, and today he is making that point abundantly clear. Stressing numerous times that it is "people like you and place like this" that have kept his wife in the race, Clinton told the crowd in Sutton of the need to unify rural and urban America.

"You know there has been a lot of talk in this election about the need to unify America across the lines of race and age and gender. And I agree with all of that. But we need to unify America in another way. We need to unify town and country - suburbs and rural areas. Cities and the rest of America. We can't have all the prosperity going to just a few," said Clinton, as the crowd loudly applauded.

Hillary should run as an independent if she is defeated.

we would then see who comes out ahead.

Posted by: mark | May 8, 2008 12:50:23 PM

Bill,

Did it ever occur to you that they might NOT want to vote for her?

For that matter, did you ever consider that Senator Obama might want Nancy Pelosi as a Vice President??

Posted by: DAVID NH | May 8, 2008 12:52:20 PM

The more I read about the things Bill Clinton is saying, the more I am convinced he is forgetting to take his meds....

The only way she wins is by burning her own house down at convention

Posted by: The Commander Guy | May 8, 2008 12:52:41 PM

Hillary should do this. Hillary can still win that. Hillary's winning. Hillary will be the nominee.

Denial is truly the last defense as a human survival mechanism.

Just observe all of the lemmings waiting to be told what to do instead of critically thinking on their own.

America's educational system is pathetic and it shows.

One day after talking about uniting the party does Hillary launch into another attack that Obama can't win the white vote. What a uniter Hillary is.

Hillary can win as an independent.
Lieberman did it and won his senate
seat again.
DNC DONE WRONG TO HILLARY.

As an independent 3-way race she will win
the elections in november.

Bill needs to tell Hill that she needs to stop dividing the party by race. It may help them to play white dems against black dems...but it doesn't help America.

Oh yeah I forgot this isn't about America.

It is about Hillary, always has, always will be.

For Christ sake he is her husband.

What do you expect him to say, after all its his money too that was loaned to Hillary's campaign. If you were Bill would you say anything else? Don't forget she has testicular fortitude, whatever that is, sounds dangerous anyway. The fat lady is on stage and clearing her throat!

Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.

Yes, I totally agree with Bill!! All the way to the convention!! The Obamabots, in the meantime, can keep spewing their venom AND thus keep alienating us, the Hillary supporters.. If their candidate should get the nomination, they would need us AND I predict there would be thousands of "let's unite", "let's heal" etc posts...

Posted by: DMK | May 8, 2008 1:03:57 PM

Run Independent Hillary. You have my vote.

Posted by: Mack | May 8, 2008 1:05:42 PM

As a strong Obama supporter I want to let all Democrats who have supported Hillary that we all want the same thing. Let's remember that on Policy we can all agree that Obama and Hilalry are virtually identical. Now that Obama is way ahead, let's all hope there are no more Dem on Dem attacks and we all support the Democratic nominee as soon it's decided.

Posted by: Jaybo | May 8, 2008 1:07:34 PM

Man, Bill's lost it too. Run as an independant? She won't win there either she can say he doesn't get the white vote but if she does that she'll only get women to vote for her and you really can't win if you only have women voting for you.

Posted by: Joe | May 8, 2008 1:09:05 PM

Bill Clinton tells crowds that Hillary was outspent 4 to 1 in Indiana. Well, by the Clinton campaign estimates, Obama spent 5.6 million in Indiana, and Hillary spent 3.2. As a Rhodes scholar, I would expect Bill Clinton to be better at math. It aggravates me that he can lie so easily.

Posted by: Jon in MD | May 8, 2008 1:09:12 PM

Run as an Independent and you'll win Hillary ... hands down! I don't support you BUT you'd win! End of story!

Posted by: JR | May 8, 2008 1:09:44 PM

I don't think Hillary would be a good choice for VP. I think that Bill Richardson, Jim Webb, or Wesley Clark makes more sense in preparing to go against mc-more-war. With one of these 3 it will be a Landslide for Obama in the fall. Obama 2008!

Posted by: pt | May 8, 2008 1:10:57 PM

Hill the Bosnian General has lost, the primaries are over, FL and MI cannot be counted at all or only if it is 50% of delegates and popular vote for each candidate. The second point is simply that Hill does not want to go back to the senate and is dreaming again about the vice-presidency to be offered to her by Obama. But she has to understand that that will ruin Obama's chances to unite the country. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

Posted by: BKMC | May 8, 2008 1:14:01 PM

Sorry Bill Clinton, this will end sooner, the USA TODAY, CNN and AP have a story where Hillary used the racial card today, a sad day in our country when she went that route, so much for VP.

Posted by: Hal | May 8, 2008 1:14:03 PM

I also read that 60% of the good economic fortune in the 90's was due to the policies that the first Bush put in place. And the whole wright thing don't you remeber in 92 when clinton was busted for cheating on his wife the first time it was during the primary (I was 13). He still got elected.

Posted by: Joe | May 8, 2008 1:14:07 PM

Another debate? To what end? She's done! He'll debate McNoodles anytime. Hillary is old news.

Posted by: DAVID NH | May 8, 2008 1:14:20 PM

len say "It isn't over"

He's right!!!!

Tweety: War's over, man. Obama dropped the big one in North Carolina.

Wolson: Over? Did you say "over"!?! Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! .............................................. And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough ..................................the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

RISE HILLARY RISE!!!

Posted by: The Commander Guy | May 8, 2008 1:15:10 PM

Should Hilary decide to run as an Independent, she will destroy her own political future and will be as relevant as Ralph Nader or Ross Perot after the election she would have lost. Her husband's legacy would be distroyed also and the politacal future they are trying to build for Chelsea will not happen. At the en of all this, we will have a war hero as commander in chief of US Armed Forces in the person of John McCain for 4 or 8 years...

Posted by: Pat | May 8, 2008 1:15:35 PM

If you can't beat Hillary in Ohio, Michigan, FL, and Pennsylvania .. you can't win the general election there Lynne! What part don't you understand? Are you just refusing to believe facts? Sheesh! If she ran as an Independent she'd beat Obama there AGAIN .. and would probably beat McCain as well. She'd win and HELL I don't even support her and know that much!

Posted by: JR | May 8, 2008 1:16:22 PM

Yeah, those parts of North Carolina that "look like" West Virginia... hmmm.

I'm not going to be too surprised if Hillary's new math includes counting African American delegates as 3/5 of a vote.

The Clintons keep sinking lower than anyone thought possible. Listen guys, it's time to face the reality. SHE CAN'T WIN!!

Posted by: mg | May 8, 2008 1:17:05 PM

I love how the Clintons move numbers around and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that people did not vote for her because of her. Bill can be a great speaker, but it just seems he is selling Hillary and practically begging for votes. In regards to Michigan and Florida, in the beginning of the DNC's decision for their delegates not to count (which I don't know I agree with that decision) we heard nothing from Clinton and it all seemed everyone agreed...Hillary now wants to change the rules. She even left her name on Michigan's ballot...why? so after the votes were counted (without having either Hillary or Barack candidate in that state)Hillary used those votes to count as a win, just to say it was a win...Hillary does not play by the rules if it's not convienant for her. Believe me she would not be making a stink about this if she knew Barack would win in any of those states...it's all about winning, it's all about her not really about the votes (delegates). I know this sounds "bitter" but it is just so clear to see what is going on. Even Barack wants the votes to count but not having a chance to candidate in any of those states to talk and share with the people would be unfair. In Hillary's case they all know the Clinton's and so it would be easier for her to place her bets on those states. From what I understand the fair thing is to divide equally at this point. In closing Hillary driving this point about Michigan and Florida and how "unfair this all is to the people" makes the democratics look even worse. So I don't see Hillary as a unifer I see Hillary for Hillary.

Every single US citizen should have every right to vote and to have his/her own voice how they feel about this country...

Even the one who has 6th grade knows it is absolutely wrong to deny people's right..

Let the process resolve itself...

Hillary: run independent!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: al | May 8, 2008 1:22:10 PM

Hillary can win...... the next few primaries do not have the obligatory black vote. She will be the one to be tough enough to beat McCain. She beat Obama in his own backyard even by being tremendously outspent.

Carl Rove has his ammo ready for an Obama ticket. Any ticket with Obama on it will be dead in the water in short order.

Hillary can win the nomination. She has the momentum and we will see that in the next few primaries. AND how many would change their vote since the primaries began .... MANY voters would change their votes if they could - since the Rev. Wright fiasco became a truth not just old video clips as it was first passed off to be by Obama.

Hillary please stay in the campaign. The media's job is to report news, not try to influence it. The problem with the devisiveness within the Democratic party is being caused by the Democratic party leaders' backing of Obama and trying to end Hillary's campaign. That un-Democratic behavior is what is going to lose Democrats for the party.

I will support Hillary 100%...she can win. After this, I will be an Independent. The Democratic party leaders are no different than the Republicans. They divide and conquer as to THEIR choice, not ours (the voters).

Posted by: SM | May 8, 2008 1:22:12 PM

Nicholas, I am from Connecticut. Lieberman won because the Democrat was virtual unknown and the Republican party there essentially backed Lieberman over its candidate. Now Lieberman has lost all clout in the Senate because he is a man without a party. Lieberman ran as an Independent for selfish reasons I believe. If Hillary runs as an Independent (which I doubt very seriously) she will lose all political influence and support she has.

Posted by: indy_voter | May 8, 2008 1:22:36 PM

Get real, how can she win in a third party election? She doesnt have enough money now! How can she finance a GE, she's already in debt enough as it is!

Keep running even though you don't have a snowballs chance in hell in even closing on Barack Obama.

We know you dodged those bullets and is an avid hunter and go to church every Sunday. We know that you are the greatest role model for all of our little white american girls.

I think it's a great idea if Hilary runs as an Independent.As far as this country goes, we need to turn this bus around! We don't need 4 or 8 more years of this Republican/Bush BS. The housing/mortgage crisis, the unemployment, the gas prices, the healthcare.Okay,Bush STOLE the first election, & people were DUMB enough to vote for him 4 yrs later!Republicans are only FOR BIG BUSINESS.Can't people connect the dots & see how Bush/Cheney could care less about the gas prices? They're laughing all the way to the bank.WAKE UP, PEOPLE & do NOT vote for more of the same BS this November!!!!

She would hav eto drop out now and file papers in all 50 states to even get on the ballot. Some state deadlines are 1st of June or you can not get on teh ballot! Look it up.

Posted by: ron | May 8, 2008 1:30:45 PM

Can Hillary convince the world that 14 states who held caucuses should not count?

If these states count, Hillary must admit the popular vote count is not the deciding factor.

If these 14 caucus states do not count, why should Florida and Michigan?

Posted by: Dan | May 8, 2008 1:33:25 PM

Very true Hope Springs! I am behind Hillary all the way! Interesting how the BO campaign and it's force ALWAYS tell her to drop out. Obama the one who divided the party with encouraging his race as a reason or qualification for the Presidency!

Posted by: irma | May 8, 2008 1:34:02 PM

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.
---USA TODAY---

She's toast, bad way to go out!

Posted by: Hal | May 8, 2008 1:34:12 PM

Clinton doesn't have the money to run anything else except a lemonade stand in front of her house.

Funny. She's 20+ million in debt. Where is she going to get the money to run as an independent.

You clowns continue to amaze me?

Posted by: Nat Turner | May 8, 2008 1:34:55 PM

I just cannot believe Slick is saying this. Slick simply has not taken math classes. There are 217 pledged delegates left, and Obama is currently up by 160. For "Bitter End" Hill to tie Obama, she would need to get 188 pledged delegates to 29 or Obama, or 87% of the remaining pledged delegates. By the Democratic rules, she would need to trounce Obama by a margin wider than he has been trouncing her. And she hasn't done that in even a single contest. It just floors me how the Clintons can continue to be the absolutely most graceless -- er, I guess I should say disgraceful -- couple in the U. S. Have a little bit of dignity, HRC. Bow out gracefully, and then maybe you'll get another shot at some point. Do what you and Slick are doing now, and nobody is ever going to touch you again.

Posted by: J. T. Bigglesworth | May 8, 2008 1:35:21 PM

Of course Bill is begging people to keep this thing going. There are two reasons. 1) Hillbilly need to raise more funds so that they can pay themselves back the 11 plus million dollars they lent their campaign and 2) Bill needs to get her in office so that he can "pay back" all those people who paid outrageous speaking fees to him based on his contention that Hillary was going to be Pres. (i.e. when he was selling the Whitehouse)

Hillary as an independent would be as effective as Ross Perot and would rip apart the Dems leaving McCain in the Whitehouse.

It's over, over, over.

Wow! CD, clinton really got you doesn't she. Her parents piad for her coledge. Obama took out loans. She was a high profile lawer, he worked civil rights. He has a record of fighting for the poor, she also has one. But if you think all people with higher education have lots of money you are wrong also he does stand up for all americans he's fighting for the middle class and poor now. She must have done a great job smearing him were you live.

She can't even siphon money from the alleged "base" she now panders to.

COUNT ALL THE VOTES, or many of us will abandon the party come november.

1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.
3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had
4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades.
5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.
6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
7.) I Never Practiced Islam - LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.
8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - LIAR, not one teacher says you could speak the language.
10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.
11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - LIAR, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.

McCain is going to need all of the votes he can scrape up since his own party doesn't support him.

He's also going to need lots and lots of donations considering he's being outraised 5 to 1.

He's also going to need lots of teleprompter technicians to keep them up and running to assist with everything from making a basic speech to making the nightly warm buttermilk before bed.

McCain as the best the GOP can bring???

Even they know they're in trouble. Just ask Newt Gengrich and Karl Rove.

AS INDEPENDENT WITH A STRONG VP.
DNC deserves the kind treatment.

I say keep it up Hillary...Obama is bound to screw up.! Actually if you could take a revote right now...I bet Hillary would come out on top...! Im actually voting for McCain...but if I had a choice between Hillary or Obama..It would definately be Hillary..

Hillary's comments in USA Today about white voters demonstrates how divisive and self-serving her motivations are at this point. She knows that she cannot win the nomination, but she is in effect 'poinsoning the well' for Obama. She is tacitly signalling to white voters that she understands that they won't vote for Obama in the general.

The superdelegates or party elders would be wise to get her out of the race or tell her to stop the racist comments.

ANd here's Bill racist comments to boot:

The former President explained much of Senator Clinton's large loss in North Carolina as a result of early voting.

"All the parts of North Carolina that look like West Virginia she won like a house on fire. And she did pretty well in other places."

These two are a mess.

Obama supporters:

Let's ignore all Clinton Sour Grape Groupies like Obama is ignoring Clinton.

Just a he's moving his focus to Grandpappy McCain, we should too.

CLINTON IS SO DEAD.
Pour some dirt on her.

The GOP won't just attack Obama, they'll obliterate him. He can't even stand up to Hillary's weak attacks without whining and having the unconditional support of the MSM behind him. Michelle hasn't seen mean yet.

Kerry Said;

DO YOU WANT OPRAH (WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN BIBLE)
DO YOU WANT FARRAHKHAN (ANTI-WHITE)
DO YOU WANT PASTOR WRIGHT(GOD DA*N*AMERICA)
DO YOU WANT MICHELLE OBAMA(PROUD OF USA FOR 1ST TIME)
DO YOU WANT REZKO
DO YOU WANT WILLIAM AYERS
DO YOU WANT LARRY SINCLAIR
DO YOU WANT TED KENNEDY
DO YOU WANT KERRY
DO YOU WANT BLACK PANTHER
DO YOU WANT HAMMAS
DO YOU WANT JESSE JACKSON
DO YOU WANT AL SHARPTON
DO YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
IF NOT ,,
THEN GET TO WORK
AND HELP HILL IN BEATING HIM UP


Just think, they focused and bet all of their chickens that just one, just one of these dumb ass issues would stop Obama and the American people.

What fools they were.
WE'RE HEADED STRAIGHT TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

Nat,

I would have ignored the Clinton suckers as Obama does. However, unlike Obama, I believe that until the venomous snake is beaten dead for sure, it will come back to bite.

Besides, why spoil the fun...These Hilry sukrs definitely need some education! Give it now.

Posted by: marie | May 8, 2008 2:12:27 PM

suzanne; look the only racism i have seen in this election is the 90% vote for obama by the african american commuunity. now that is racism.
if you listened to obamas race speech his focus was black and white-he forget hispancics, asians, native americans, women and all the other minority groups in america. the one making this a black on white issue is your candidate and his supporters.

Those knuckle dragging republican neanderthals are in panic mode. What other way do they know how to gain votes other than via fear and hate? They're already losing seats throughout the country. It's just a matter of time before being a Republican is going to suck.

Get ready for 20 years of suckdom.

It's like comparing a Porshe Carrera to a 1915 Ford Model T. No competition

What a joke

Hillary. You had all the advantages: Name Recognition, Bill's Political Machine, $$$, And All the goodwill associated with the Clinton Administration.

But sometimes David beats Goliath.

You fought hard but lost. Hard to accept, I know, but it is True.

Time to turn the page.

Ok Marie,

Stay on those Clinton Sour Grape Groupies!!

It's quite entertaining for me as well.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

Posted by: Nat Turner | May 8, 2008 2:18:01 PM

don't you find it difficult to accept that EVERY SINGLE black commentator on CNN is a rabid, fire spitting, obama supporter? that is racism. when CNN loads the commentator stage against hillary that is SEXISM as well.so please do not try to play the race card all you have to do is turn on CNN for a blantant reminder of how biased this election has been and how/racist/sexist. this is hope and change? no thanks i will vote for the old guy-before i vote for obama.

Posted by: sonia trevino | May 8, 2008 2:20:03 PM

Mack,

When the time for confronting Ica Age McCain comes, Obama camp is all prepared to show the GOP what it deserves.

Last two times, they got away with phony issues and beat Gore and Kerry. Not this time. Wait and see. Clinton is pea-nuts. Wait when Obama camp takes on GOP. We will show!!! If you want to be on the winning side, then join OB camp asap.

If 60yrs Hilry is past, then 80yrs GOP McCain will be toasted to a Siberian mammoth!!!!

Join the fun, the game is about to start!!! Join the winning team Obama!!!

A vote for Hillary is a vote to run billy bob clinton for a third time.

Posted by: waralan | May 8, 2008 2:22:17 PM

So what Sonia Treloser?

Once a loser. Always a loser.

WE DON'T NEED YOU.
You act as if your one little vote is going to make people worry.

Comparing your whines is equivalent to shooting a BB gun at a Freight Train doing 70 m
