Clinton's strategy going forward
Wed May 07, 2008 at 01:14:47 PM PDT
Reported on the Hill:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) most prominent Senate supporters, said Wednesday that she will ask the former first lady to detail her plans for the rest of the Democratic primary.
"I, as you know, have great fondness and great respect for Sen. Clinton and I’m very loyal to her," Feinstein said. "Having said that, I’d like to talk with her and [get] her view on the rest of the race and what the strategy is."
It seems at least some Clinton superdelegates are getting ready to jump ship. More from the hill:
Clinton, who eked out a win in Indiana Tuesday night but lost big to front-runner Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in North Carolina, has not responded to Feinstein’s phone call, the California senator said.
"I think the race is reaching the point now where there are negative dividends from it, in terms of strife within the party," Feinstein said. "I think we need to prevent that as much as we can."
I'd call it a bad sign for a campaign when they stop returning phone calls of superdelegates, but then, there are obviously worse signs for the campaign at the moment (e.g., math).
For those, like Sen. Feinstein, who are wondering about the current Clinton strategy, I present you with a screenshot from an episode of southpark, in which an underpants gnome ponders a somewhat incomplete business plan.
