Hillary’s entire candidacy has been reduced to her arguing for her own electability. Today her campaign went so far as to circulate this PowerPoint presentation to super delegates outlining the rationale. At this point, I think it’s important to revisit something Bill Clinton said about electability a few months ago. And wouldn’t you know it. Back in September, he said something very different than the current campaign.
"This electability thing is a canard; it doesn’t amount to a hill of beans," Mr. Clinton told a crowd of several thousand people. "What you need to figure out is, Who would be the best president?"
A few days later, when questioned by Matt Lauer, he reinforced the point. Adding that the idea of divining "electability" prior to the general election didn't make any sense.
I'm not sure how many times their spins have collided, but the Clinton campaign has to be approaching a modern day record.
