Everyone Knows Hillary Clinton is the Stronger Candidate

Hillary Clinton is down there in Kentucky campaigning up until the last minute to drive turnout tomorrow; she’s earned every vote she’s received in the Democratic race, and she’s more than lived up to her reputation as a hard worker on behalf of the American people from her years in the U.S. Senate.

And Clinton will not be intimidated by pundits of any stripe.

After months of bashing Hillary daily at the Huffpost, media guru Arianna Huffington published a flattering obituary for Hillary’s campaign, and there’s poison to be found even in the banner headline: “A Historic Triumph Out of Defeat.”

Arianna’s condescending post is her way of telling Hillary she’s fought a good fight and now it’s time to sit down, shut up, and get with the program, so the haloed Obama, the one Arianna has been waiting for, can take his victory lap unhampered Tuesday night.

Sorry, Arianna.

The Caucus (NY Times) has Clinton’s word from Kentucky today:

‘“I’m going to make my case and I’m going to make it until I’m the nominee and we’re not going to have one today and we’re not going to have one tomorrow and we’re not going to have one the next day,” she said. “And if Kentucky turns out tomorrow, I will be closer to that nomination.”’

Clinton buttressed her electoral argument for the nomination by citing a memo obtained by ABC from Karl Rove. What the heck – even Rove has the smarts to know that Hillary Clinton will be the stronger candidate against the Republicans come November. You can see Rove’s maps and charts here.
