That's what the Clintons want everyone to believe about Obama. Hell, they are running commericials on it, saying it outloud, and even telling Bill Richardson he's nuts for endorsing the man. "He can't win" in the general against McCain, Hillary allegedly told Richardson when Richardson gave her the courtsey of a phone call to inform her of his decision.
What's that mean, exactly? Obama can't win? I wonder...
Does he can't win mean Obama can't raise the money? That'd be an odd claim, given his $40 million haul in March, adding to his $193 million already raised, meaning he's well over $230 million for this cycle. Which is, like, more than anybody ever raised for any office ever.
Does he can't win mean he can't win enough states for the Presidency? Given he has won 30 states to Hillary's 14, that doesn't seem to make sense.
Does he can't win mean he can't get enough of the popular vote? Given that 14.2 million have already voted for him in the PRIMARY (and that includes in Florida, where he didn't even campaign), and given that there are approximately 142 million registered voters in the U.S. as a whole, meaning that he has already -- in the PRIMARIES -- gotten a full TEN PERCENT of the total U.S. voting population to vote for him...yeah, thinking that's not the reason.
No, I think we all know what "he can't win" is code for. You see, Hillary left off the "because" in her thinking.
Finish this sentance: He can't win because...
Because of Rev. Wright perhaps? Or the underlying theme that implies, because of his race?
Hillary, he can't win is a losing argument from where I sit. Obama already has proved he CAN win. He is beating you, the inevitable candidate.
If you think he can't win, don't play games or be coy as to why. And tell us why you can.
Because sidling up to John McCain isn't exactly providing us a contrast of choice in the general election.
