Hillary’s New Number: 2,209

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Partisan Hacks

Yep, it’s goal post moving time.

She took the opportunity in tonight’s victory speech to rewrite the rules and claim specifically that 2,209 was the new number of delegates needed to win the nomination.

She also claimed Obama agreed with her. I’ll let you parse that however you want.

Listen folks, you don’t get to mile 199 of a 200 mile race and claim another 2 miles should be added to the end of the track. You don’t get to the 2-minute warning and argue for another 20 seconds. You don’t get to the last inning and the last strike of the last out and ask for a few more pitches just in case you get another strike. You just don’t do it.

Yet for some reason she does do it…and so it should be clear to everybody that Hillary will literally say and do anything to win.

But hey, I hope she continues to keep this up. Because it will discredit her and make people realize that she doesn’t deserve any type of leadership role in the Democratic party.

Moving on…

I’m telling you, Obama needs to up his secret service detail until at least after the convention

As bad as it sounds, I agree with Avinash. People have died around her before and anyone who would say and do the things she is would do anything!

No shame or class.

the win in WV is like the win that Jesse Jackson won in S.Carolina in the 80″s. Consolation and bargaining just like Bill said of Obama in the winter. Only the shoe is on the other foot and the irrelevance is on Hilary. Her new math is a stall. Just think about the “never give up” mentality of hers if she were Commander in Chief and her war was going down the tubes????? …obliterate come to mind? Never back down???? It is so over

More security? Sure. But it’s not needed because of Clinton. Sorry, but the Vince Foster conspiracy theories are just that. Conspiracy theories. Pure nonsense.
