Howard Wolfson - Clinton Campaign Communications Director on Hardball now:

[helderheid]

Matthews: "You can see your candidate surviving in this fight all the way through June, certainly the end of this season."

Wolfson: "Absolutely."

Matthews: "It's not going to happen. She's not going to throw in the towel."

Wolfson: "No."

Matthews: "And has she told you that?"

Wolfson: "She's told me that, she's told her donors that, she's told her supporters that. She believes that she can win this nomination and she'll be the nominee."

Matthews: "Is she willing to make a larger contribution personally to the campaign - (in audible) 11 million, is she willing to go any further?"

Wolfsom: "She won't rule it out."

Matthews: "Really?"

Wolfson: "Yeah. That's right."

Matthews: "Sky's the limit."

Wolfsom: "I didn't say the sky's the limit. We have a set of rules that govern how much money she can give. But she is all into this.
I mean she believes she is going to be the nominee. She's put her own money on the line, a considerable amount of money, and, you know, yes."

:wow:

1. He is either insane or he is lying

Or perhaps she is delusional and he just let it out of the bag. I have a hard time believing that either she or Bill think that she will win the nomination. Maybe they are trying to keep their numbers up for the primaries.

[WA98296]

2. It was totally creepy. They're planning some evil shit, it's obvious.

[lapfog_1]

3. I wonder what deal Bill had to make with her so she wouldn't

divorce him while he was President?

If my spouse was going to spend half our fortune on pointless campaigns... I would be in her face saying "Hey, maybe this isn't your year".

[Thrill]

4. She thought she was going to easily win the nomination

They can't deal with the thought of not winning it. I wouldn't be surprised if she spent more. Its about destroying Obama now.

[helderheid]

5. fucking incredible. What scares me the most is I think they actually believe what they are saying!

:scared:

[City Lights]

13. What scares me is wondering what they'll do to make her dream come true.

:scared:

I can't shake the vid of her telling Katie Couric, "It will be me." She never gave any thought to how she'd feel if she didn't win the nomination. I always thought she'd face reality as the end neared, but now I fear she's really going Fatal Attraction on us.

[helderheid]

16. eeeks. Good point!

:scared:

[ORDem]

22. This is normal stuff mostly. Candidates are always 110% in until they're out.

There is no in-between.

[Tellurian]

36. yeah, the Hill supporters have been let in on the secret...

anyway, you people are too busy to care..

[flpoljunkie]

10. Don't forget the day she announced Terry McAuliffe said, 'It's her turn."

[DevonRex]

31. You are SO right. That's all it is. nt

[City Lights]

6. She's deeply in denial.

Wonder how long it will take her to face reality.

Time for an intervention.

[flpoljunkie]

7. Saw interview. It's apparent Clintons are prepared to destroy the party in their quixotic quest

for her to wrest the nomination from Barack Obama. Unless, of course, they are just pretending, hoping folks will help Hillary to retire her debt and $11.6 million in loans, or that Barack Obama will agree to help her, if she agrees to get out.

On the other hand, Wolfson said, "She believes she can win and be the nominee." Wolfson is also now using the term "blue collar" voters rather than white, working class voters, and that he prefers to look at race and gender in an "uplifting way." This man is so full of sh*t, I can smell him through the screen.

You might have noticed that already the Republicans, led by Pat Buchanan, are today calling white, working class voters, aka "Reagan Democrats"--"Hillary Democrats." Buchanan coined this term in an interview with Andrea Mitchell earlier today with Bob Shrum.

Video link of the interview: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/24525446#24525446

If this is the only strategy the Clintons have left in their arsenal, it is beyond pathetic. They know as well as we all do that Reagan Democrats vote in larger percentages for Republicans--as they have been successfully wooed/conned by "social and cultural" wedge issues as Buchanan described them today--otherwise known, as "God, guns, and gays."

8. Her "path to victory" was described in the WSJ

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5884308&mesg_id=5884308

[helderheid]

11. I'm sure she believes this too!

:wow:

[antigop]

14. unfortunately, yes, she does. Unbelievable! n/t

[helderheid]

15. YIKES.

[Arrowhead2k1]

9. She's nuts!

Somebody fucking slap her for her own good!

[Heather MC]

28. YES SHE IS! YES SHE IS! YES SHE IS! YES SHE IS!

[Edgewater_Joe]

12. Let Her Spend Her Money

Then she shouldn't expect Obama to repay it - any money after this is literally her dime.

[helderheid]

19. while she stiffs the "little people"

[RoadRage]

17. In Other Words.. "Is She Willing to BUY herself the nomination".. Wolfson "YES"..

Ahh.. but Obama is the "rich" "elite" one, right? Umm.. no.. he's actually getting supported by about 1,500,000 donors willing to support him, rather then him supporting himself.

How many people can just donate $11,000,000 to their own campaign? Umm.. the ELITE RICH that's who.. Obama doesn't even have $11,000,000. But HE'S THE ELITE ONE?? :eyes:

Her campaign is an utter scam....

[helderheid]

18. well said!!!

[tishaLA]

20. I'm watching this right now

and the thing that's most disturbing to me is Tweety's new haircolor. What IS that?

[Patsy Stone]

26. Miss Clairol

Happy Honey or Winsome Wheat. :)

[Coexist]

21. thanks - I'll have to catch the replay.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

23. I'm sure Chelsea's thrilled that her mother is spending her inheritance this way

But of course, Chelsea doesn't exactly make peanuts herself.

[Patsy Stone]

24. Now he says Obama

has to do really well in WV... or else. ??? :shrug:

[TexanDem]

25. Damn yankees -- they talk so freakin fast. My ears can't keep up

[Mooney]

44. Allow me to translate for you.

Wolfson: "Horseshit horseshit horseshit horseshit horseshit horseshit horseshit horseshit."

[TexanDem]

45. ha ha ha ha --- no doubt!!! Matthews as well.... :)))

[Mooney]

46. It's honestly gotten to the point where that's all I hear any more.

Although, to Wolfson's credit, he doesn't appear to believe a single word that he says.

[Tatiana]

27. Is the cap on self-financing $25 million? Anyone know? n/t

[helderheid]

29. k

[helderheid]

30. ?

[helderheid]

32. kick

[redsoxrudy]

33. Great

She has turned into the democratic version of Mitt Romney. How much cash did that jackass end up throwing away so he could look at himself in the bathroom mirror and say "Ladies and Gentleman the President of the United States of America."

[helderheid]

41. I will bet he ends up on the McCain ticket!

[AtomicKitten]

34. I wonder if Wolfson has a found a book deal yet.

Apparently as the rats flee the sinking ship, they are trying to cash in.

[Tellurian]

37. I think he has.. You might be in it!

:rofl:

[AtomicKitten]

38. Hillary has stiffed colleges and vendors across the country.

I hope you got paid, in cash, up front.

[Tellurian]

39. no worries, dearie, when your candidate intends on stiffing the whole country..

[helderheid]

40. WOW, you're BACK!!!

:pals:

[helderheid]

35. kiiiiiiiick

[peaches2003]

42. Wolfson is as big a liar as the rest of them

He's out peddling a book deal which means Hillary is soon to pack it in, yet has no problem going on tv swearing they are in this to the convention and will win.

Chris should have called him on it and not let go!!!

[helderheid]

43. Chris was practically cracking up and the insanity.
