Bill's latest line,...
Bill Clinton's endless contorted 'down is up' arguments never fail to amuse.
Just saw a clip on MSNBC of Bill whining yesterday that the "crazy
process" the Dems use to choose their nominee by counting every vote was unfair to he and Hillary.
If votes didn't matter, Bill argued, and the Dems chose delegates like
the electoral college than their failure to win the most votes wouldn't
matter and they would be ahead like Bush in 2000.
The 'big
state' line is a favorite of the Clintons, but the Clintons never suggest
that Obama wouldn't win NY, NJ or Cali.
What the
Clintons need to understand that they won't be the next Presidents if
they don't win Wisconsin or Missouri or Minnesota.
And speaking of NY, check out this 'super fun fact' from the Clintons latest FEC filing on fundraising:
Clinton New York intake: $2,304,612.54
Obama New York intake: $3,162,956.99

The FEC numbers from NY -- priceless!

I heard that too. He said HRC would be ahead by 300 delegates if this were the Republican primaries. You have to laugh, considering that she's campaigned like a Rove Republican.
He's probably counting Florida and Michigan in her count.

With the years, Bill becomes decreasingly able to zip it.

And of course the Clintons do understand how silly their arguments are. They are grasping for straws in the hopes that "We the Sheeple" will fall for the same Jedi mind tricks that we have for the last couple of decades.

It's the "If wishes were horses" argument. Good one, Bill.

Heard Howard Wolfson on morning Joe this morning. He was making ye olde Clinton wins all the big states argument. In his list, he includes Florida and Michigan and Texas.
So Bill favors the Republican election process. No surprise here.
Part of their process is to steal the election.
