Is Hillary Clinton the most tenacious most powerful campaigner to ever lose a primary?

I cannot think of anyone that ever fought so hard and still lost. She may be the best campaigner ever, except for Obama obviously.
Sorry, obviously I mean the nomination. Fl and Mi are over and Obama only needs 28 super delegates to clinch. It is completely totally over.
Actually less than 28 out of over 200, and he already knows who they are.
At any rate she was magnificent, unless you can remind me of somebody else.

Which primary are you speaking of?
And if you mean the nomination, youre jumping the gun a little bit. There is NO nominee at this point
Yeah. Too bad her staff blew it.
I agree. I can’t think of anyone that fought as hard in my memory.
No. She is the worst…remember she ran out of money. She had to load money to her campaign several times. I though she ran a negative campaign. Hillary ran on Bill’s record. She had no plan B. She thought she had ever thing wrap up after the first Super Tuesday. I give her props for being a fighter but it time to throw in the towel already. She taking it too far. By HRC staying in the race she’s sabotaging Obama’s chances in the GE. Obama inspired a lot of new voters to come out this year especially the young college voters. Another point, if we look at how well Obama has run this campaign, a campaign that had no chance six months ago going up against the Clinton Machine. This excellent campaign by itself is a superb example of what a great leader he is and is a nice prequel to how well he can organize and motivate the nation if he is elected President. I thought CNN said 68 with the new goal post at 2,118. Obama has 2,050 and Clinton 1,877. I hope. I remember right.
OBAMA ‘08
Hillary’s afraid to stop because then she will have to go back to New York as it’s junior senator, a job she never did quite grasp. By now, the Hasadic Jewish community will be demanding their thirty pieces of silver for giving her the senatorial job with their huge block of votes. She can’t win !
On top of that, they have about $30million in campaign indebtedness. These are people who have been stiffed by the Clinton’s. Can you imagine, these deadbeats will now go to their constituents for money to pay off their campaign. I’d tell them to take it out of the $110 million Slick made by spewing out his bullcrap !
i would disagree with you on that. the clintons have certainly stuck it out longer than many would have, but if someone comes to a party and refuses to leave afterwards they shouldn’t be commended for it. as for the whole “great campaigner” description, i have no idea what the term could possibly have to do with her. the obama people ruthlessly exploited her sheer dumbness about how the process actually works. that’s basically why i like him as a candidate better even though i don’t think he’s a shoe-in either. as for her refusal to give in, let’s face two facts: she genuinely believes that obama cannot win the general election because he’s black and she really thinks she deserves to be president for some reason. she has every right to the first opinion, but the second is just an over-developed sense of entitlement as far as i’m concerned.
I was hoping for an Obama candidacy before he even announced.
Yet I did admire Hillary Clinton’s tenacity for a while. - Now it’s sad.
If all the states had primaries instead of caucuses, she would be ahead now.
Obama has shown well in caucuses but terrible in the primaries. Here, the caucus had Obama as the favorite but the lead fell short in the primary. That only goes to show me he’s going to have a hard time in November.
Personally, I think Hillary would have been the better candidate but the thing that got Obama ahead was what Carlos Mencia calls “white guilt”. Loosely translated, that could be “rabid liberalism”.
Hillary should take her chances as an independent.
She got a raw deal from her party.
They , the Clinton’s are powerful but only because they run the biggest crime family in the USA. As for as being tenacious, the correct word I feel that would be Hillary is “crooked”. She has never changed and the Clinton’s will never change. I feel Obama has displayed the word “tenacious” better than Hillary. I am not a Obama fan but I do have to give the guy credit, he come from nowhere and the Clinton’s have been their own pain in their rear end for 40+ years.
Yes, definitely.
(However, Al Gore actually “won” the Presidency, then “lost” after FL miraculously gave in to their Governor, Jeb Bush, George’s bro) (Remember?)
…I don’t think of her as “losing” yet, but that is just me not letting go yet
I don’t think Obama is a great campaigner. To some he is charismatic, to some good-looking, to some the wrong color & to some the “wright” color…I’d say he’s more lucky than anything, and he’s got “Oprah” to promote him!
But Yes, Hillary is a great campaigner and can take more cr– than anyone…how she doesn’t lose it I don’t know…she has been crucified & called every name…I will always respect her the most!
