This shit is just getting ridiculous

(CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton said that Democrats were more likely to lose in November if Hillary Clinton is not the nominee, and suggested some were trying to "push and pressure and bully" superdelegates to make up their minds prematurely.
Bill Clinton did not explain who he was accusing of "covering up" Sen. Clinton's chances.
"I can't believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out," Clinton said at a South Dakota campaign stop Sunday, in remarks first reported by ABC News.
Clinton also suggested some were trying to "cover up" Sen. Clinton's chances of winning in key states that Democrats will have to win in the general election.
" 'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.' "
Clinton did not expound on who he was accusing. Video Watch Clinton talk about the "cover up." »
The former president added that his wife had not been given the respect she deserved as a legitimate presidential candidate.
"She is winning the general election today and he is not, according to all the evidence," Clinton said. "And I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running."
"Her only position was, 'Look, if I lose I'll be a good team player. We will all try to win, but let's let everybody vote, and count every vote,' " he said.
The former president suggested that if the New York senator ended the primary season with an edge in the popular vote, it would be a significant development.
"If you vote for her and she does well in Montana and she does well in Puerto Rico, when this is over she will be ahead in the popular vote," Clinton said.
"And they're trying to get her to cry uncle before the Democratic Party has to decide what to do in Florida and Michigan," which Clinton said the party would need to do "unless we want to lose the election."
The current requirement to claim the Democratic presidential nomination is 2,026 delegates, a formula that does not take into account delegates from Florida and Michigan, whose contests were not sanctioned by the party because they moved them up earlier on the primary calendar.
But if those votes were counted as cast, Hillary Clinton would still trail rival Barack Obama in the overall delegate count.
The former president said Sunday that the media had unfairly attacked his wife since the Iowa caucuses, repeating an often-used charge that press coverage had made him feel as though he were living in a "fun house."
"If you notice, there hasn't been a lot of publicity on these polls I just told you about," he said. "It is the first time you've heard it? Why do you think that is? Why do you think? Don't you think if the polls were the reverse and he was winning the Electoral College against Senator McCain and Hillary was losing it, it would be blasted on every television station?"
He added, "You would know it wouldn't you? It wouldn't be a little secret. And there is another Electoral College poll that I saw yesterday had her over 300 electoral votes. ... She will win the general election if you nominate her. They're just trying to make sure you don't."

SOOOOOO, rather than face reality, it's time to adopt the 'ole 9/11 truther strategy of invoking a massive conspiracy flying in the face of all available evidence. Assuming all this crazy non-sense conspiracy in favor of the black man is true, however, it doesn't matter even slightly if she is in fact the more electable candidate considering the fact that if the superdelegates vote overwhelmingly for Hillary, all shit will break loose. For one thing, a vast majority of the superdelegates would have to vote for Hillary when she is, no matter how you look at it, behind in the popular vote. She's also behind in the pledged delegate count from the primaries and caucuses, even if you add in FL & MI who got their delegates thrown out.
This brings me to the exact reason I hate this bitch so much; she is so concerned with winning that she's willing to destroy the Democratic party to do so. If the superdelegates vote for her and end up getting her nominated, I can absolutely guarantee that McCain will win the overall election because of the negative impact it will have on the Democratic party. I forget who said it, but if the Democratic party goes against it's own popular vote, I'm sure the Republican party would be more than willing to court them over to their side.
The sheer sense of entitlement for the Democratic nomination Hillary seems to have is astonishing. It blows my mind that she would even consider staying in the race at this point. And don't even get me started on her Kennedy assassination remarks (linkage: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/23/clinton-kennedy-assassina_n_103319.html). I mean, could she not stop campaigning without throwing in the towel? Assuming something (anything, really) does happen to Obama, she could still got nominated, no? So why does she keep fighting tooth and nail for the nomination? WHY?
Just throw in the towel already, god damn.
