btw, Hillary, you did not win by double-digits
Thus spake Hillary:
"I won that double-digit victory that everybody on TV said I had to win, and the voters of Pennsylvania clearly made their views known, that they think I would be the best president and the better candidate to go against Sen. McCain," referring to the presumptive Republican candidate, John McCain of Arizona.
9.2% was the margin of victory. If that rounds up to double-digits — 10% — then oh sweet mother we do not want her in charge of the nation's budget! But she did not win by double-digits; what she did so was give up two-thirds of her massive lead in Pennsylvania in little over a month. What he did was cut into her lead among all the groups that allegedly he is doing so badly in.
Obama is not going to be trapped by the demographics attack Clinton is using among the many arguments why she should be the nominee despite trailing Obama in both delegate count and the national vote:
Speaking to supporters in Evansville, Indiana, on Tuesday night, Obama dismissed questions about his ability to cross racial, gender and generational boundaries.
advertisement"We can continue to slice and dice this country ... or this time, we can build on the movement we started in this campaign, a movement that's united Democrats, independents, Republicans, young, old, rich, poor, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight," he said. "Because one thing I know, from traveling 46 states this campaign season, is that we are not as divided as our politics suggest."
"Now, it's up to you, Indiana. ... You can decide whether we're going to travel the same worn path or whether we will chart a new course that offers real hope for the future," the Illinois Democrat said.
