Hillary: “Why I’m in”
Here’s the e-mail Hillary Clinton sent to supporters today. It’s called “Why I’m in.”
You’ve got to admire optimism in the face of the realities of delegate math. And you’ve got to really admire the optimism of anybody who contributes to the Clinton campaign at this point in the race.
—
“There are some people out there who want to declare this race over now, before all the ballots have been counted or even cast. There are some who say they don’t know why I’m in this race. So let me tell you why I’m still running.”
“I’m in this race for everyone who needs a champion. For the hardworking families who are losing sleep over gas prices and grocery costs and mortgage payments and medical bills — but who never lose that American can-do spirit and optimism.”
“I’m in this race for the more than 16 million people like you who have supported me -for the people who have put their hearts into winning this race. You never gave up on me, and I’ll never give up on you.”
“We are in the homestretch. After sixteen months, there are only three weeks left to compete in the final contests. With your help I’m going to keep fighting until every last American has a chance to be heard, and as we learned last night in West Virginia, I know we can win.”
“Contribute now to keep our campaign going strong.”
“I’m also in this race because I have the best chance of beating John McCain in November and putting America on the right track.”
“We proved something in West Virginia last night - a state every Democratic president has won since 1916. And we proved something in a few other battleground states that have a history of picking presidents. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Arkansas. New Hampshire. New Jersey. New Mexico. Nevada. And, yes, Michigan and Florida.”
“I am in this race, and so are you, because we both know the stakes in this election are too high to stay on the sidelines.”
“So let’s keep going together, you and me. Let’s keep driving our campaign forward, and let’s keep winning.”
“Make a contribution today to help me win.”
“I want to thank you again for the incredible generosity of spirit you have shown over the course of this campaign. Together, you and I are going to make history.”
“Thank you,
Hillary Rodham Clinton”

Liar, liar, pants suit on fire. The Clinton’s campaign strategy is despicable. They keep changing the rules and shifting the goalpost. And, they have completely polarized the Democratic Party. Vote for Hillary is you want deficit spending and divisiveness.
Maybe the voters of West Virginia would like to have her as their Governor!

The ever-gullible and faithful followers They are much like puppets on a string Blind faith loses all the power of reason And gains the ability to justify anything
