Hillary made sure we all knew that there would be no race after Feb 5th. What about all the voters who wouldn't get to vote? All the states, she is now telling that Obama doesn't want them to vote. Why are they needed to vote now?
From TPM comes this report that Hillary is telling this lie to all the media in NC. Has she forgotten this video when she didnt care about the voters.
Hillary appears to have adopted a concerted strategy of telling local media in states that will vote after Pennsylvania that Obama and his supporters are opposed to allowing those states' residents to vote.
Here's Hillary making that case in an interview with a local TV station in North Carolina...
Hillary made similar comments to a Montana station, too, and to one in Indiana. These comments appear to be targeted towards local media; she hasn't to my knowledge gone this far in her speeches or in her comments to the national political press.
While it's true that Obama surrogates have called for her to drop out, the farthest that any Obama campaign official has gone is to say that Hillary almost certainly can't win the contest and that there should be a "sober" evaluation of her chances. And Obama himself has explicitly said she has a right to continue campaigning.
That Hillary is now pushing this line suggests that her advisers believe Obama surrogates erred in giving her an opening to galvanize her supporters and play the feisty underdog -- something the Obama campaign may recognize, too, judging by its efforts to rapidly dial back the calls for her to leave the race.
