She has her husband former President Clinton who is admired by many, she has the people in highest offices backing her, and she apparently (according to tax returns) has millions of dollars in the bank. So the question is being that you come from a Dynasty, why haven't you already won Hillary? If you can't even beat a "rookie" Senator from Illinois, then how can you match the "maverick" Mccain?

She has virtually no chance to win this nomination yet she continues to try to drag down her opponent, all the while helping the person who should be their common opponent. Regardless of what happens in PA (and she SHOULD win by huge numbers given the favorable demographics), she cannot catch Obama in pledged delegates under any circumstances. Anyone with a shred of character would see the light and do what is best for the party, as well as the country. Unfortunately for all of us, Clinton has not an iota of character.

Everyone knows that Senator Obama was down at least by 20 points or more and yes he has outspent the Clinton Campaign. This is the reason that the difference is in the single digits. I don't understand why Americans are so gullible and believe everything that the Clinton Campaign espouses. If Senator Obama had not outspent her, he probably would be down by 30 points. I wish that Pennsylvania give the Clintons' a kick in the pants and Senator Obama wins. I would love to see her squirm and say, he was expected to win with all the new voters and then she would be on to Indiana and then North Carolina. She would find an excuse to stay in the race. Obama 2008! Proudly supported him financially and will gladly give more! I am so sick and tired of the Clinton Campaign moving the goal posts.

And let's not forget he won Illinois. If everybody cites New York among her "wins," why does everyone forget Illinois went HUGELY for Obama. The margin in NY wasn't that big for Billary.

The only reason he is having trouble in PA is because of Billary's REPUBLICAN scare tactics, mud slinging, and one sided debates. Oh, and let's not forget all of the republicans voting for her to give McCain the easy win. It is clear that the Billary team released this statement to cover up the fact that they are financially IN THE RED and that the margin of victory REALLY DOES MATTER. Statistically Billary needs to have AT LEAST a double digit win to have ANY chance of beating Obama, and yet somehow she is able to twist things up to make it sound like he is the one losing.
