Hillary: Why I continue to run

BY HILLARY CLINTON

Sunday, May 25th 2008, 4:00 AM

But I was deeply dismayed and disturbed that my comment would be construed in a way that flies in the face of everything I stand for - and everything I am fighting for in this election.

<...>

I am running because I still believe I can win on the merits. Because, with our economy in crisis, our nation at war, the stakes have never been higher - and the need for real leadership has never been greater - and I believe I can provide that leadership.

<...>

I am running because I believe staying in this race will help unite the Democratic Party. I believe that if Sen. Obama and I both make our case - and all Democrats have the chance to make their voices heard - in the end, everyone will be more likely to rally around the nominee.

<...>

Finally, I am running because I believe I'm the strongest candidate to stand toe-to-toe with Sen. McCain. Delegate math might be complicated - but electoral math is not. Our campaign is winning the popular vote - and we've been winning the swing states we need to get 270 electoral votes and take back the White House: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arkansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, Florida and West Virginia.

She can still "win on the merits"? Really?

Obama clinches 2026 with 15 more superdelegates; Axelrod slaps down Hillary VP meeting talking point

She believes staying in the race "will help unite" the party? Really?

Instead of trying to help bring the party together — Election Day is 24 weeks away — Clinton went to Florida to argue that if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, his nomination will be illegitimate. And if the DNC plays by the rules Clinton used to support, it’s guilty of vote-suppression — comparable to slavery, Jim Crow, and Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe.

She is "dismayed and disturbed" that her comment "would be construed in a way that flies in the face" of everything she stands for? Really?

Stop clarifying what Hillary meant, it's clear. She also knew what Obama meant when he said "bitter"

She is "winning the popular vote"? Still lying. On edit: Please tell this so-called leader in the Democratic Party that this is a delegate battle. She is apparently unfamiliar with the rules.

As Hillary argues voter disenfranchisement, she repeatedly uses phrase "select a nominee" (updated)

Maybe Hillary should take her own advice, videos:

Hillary Clinton - Get Out Of The Kitchen Barack Obama

Updated to add the lie in her lame attempt at an apology:

HRC: I don't know. I don't know. I find it curious. Because it is unprecedented in history. I don’t understand it. Between my opponent and his camp and some in the media there has been this urgency to end this. And historically, that makes no sense. So I find it a bit of a mystery.

Obama has repeatedly said she has every right to continue.
