The Clinton Campaign is pushing a new metric that they feel will finally bring undecided superdelegates flocking to endorse Clinton. Should Clinton win the Kentucky primary on May 22nd, which she is widely expected to do, Clinton will have established a Path to Victory™ connecting the east and west coast from New York to California. (See map for details) More importantly, a Kentucky victory will block her opponent, Barack Obama, leaving him with no Path to Victory™.
Terry McAuliffe noted "Barack Obama has campaigned as a uniter but we now see that this was only words, only Hillary can unite the country." and went on to suggest "A victory in Kentucky clearly leaves Obama with no Path to Victory™." When questioned on the value of Hillary's Path to Victory™ to democratic voters McAuliffe replied "It will be a clear and unambiguous and voters like certainty." When asked if this wasn't just a case of the Clinton campaign moving the goalposts once again or changing the rules in the middle of the campaign, McAuliffe answered "Clinton has always been the candidate for change."
Howard Wolfson added that "This has been the Clinton strategy since before Obama opposed the war in Iraq." When asked how much this strengthens Clinton's support with superdelegates he added "Superdelegates have always wanted to vote for Clinton but the Obama campaign has them scared." Without prompting Wolfson then elaborated "The media is reporting that Barrak Hussein Obama was endorsed by Hamas so who knows what those people might do." Wolfson later conceded that "There have been no actual threats made to superdelegates by the Obama campaign... as far as I know."
When contacted local representatives for the Obama campaign doubted it was a viable election strategy but did admit that the Clinton campaign's ability to invent really-stupid arguments for why a delegate race shouldn't be decided by the delegates is keeping them off-balance. "It took a lot of time to debunk spurious and factually flawed claims about Clinton having a realistic shot at winning the popular vote." replied Kelly Gustavson. "Even Clinton's previous suggestion that she could win more states and territories than Obama if her campaign switched to an octal number system was taking time away from important issues like lapel pins." she continued. "Her sheer audacity in terms of making shit up is astonishing." admitted one Obama staffer who wished to remain anonymous because her mother doesn't like her to swear.
