Hillary’s Campaign Like Brown’s in 1992
Posted by: BookGirl on: May 27, 2008
Hillary Clinton keeps bringing up her husband’s campaign in 1992 as a reason for her to stay in the race and for once she’s right in her analogy. The only thing is she got her role mixed up. Her rival, Barack Obama, is Bill Clinton in this scenario and she’s taken on the role of Jerry Brown.
Brown was behind Bill Clinton in the delegate count but kept running. The Clinton campaign tried to push him out. A New York Times article quotes then Clinton strategist, George Stephanopoulos:
«” George Stephanopoulos, who was then a top aide to Mr. Clinton, declared that it was ‘mathematically impossible for Brown to get the nomination’ — the start of a campaign to declare Mr. Clinton the presumed nominee, even as several other major primaries loomed.”»
So when the Clinton campaign claims they’ve never seen such a push for a candidate to get out of the race, they are lying. They actually did it in 1992 and they would have done if again in 2008 if Obama wasn’t kicking her ass. Conclusion: don’t fall for their crap anymore. Let them whine.

Good luck, keep fighting the good fight.

Bookgirl,
Well written article. Ha ha ha today I was attacked by my friend who is a Clinton supporter on Z’Ch. He sounded like the guy who critized Bill Richardson ’s Endorsement to Obama ( I do not want to mention people’s names as they all sound cranky) They may just kick my butt. He accused the Obama campaign and the media for reporting wrong figures on Obama. He said, the media is making Obama win, when he is not suppose to be winning. It was Halarious, just to listen to a mind set of a Clinton supporter, He called me, trying to convince me to switch. I laughed so loud, as it sounded like I was talking to a kid who can not reason.
Bookgirl,Do you mind if I can borrow your article? There is a cat fight on Z’Chr. This will shut my friend up.My friend is still suggesting that, Obama should be VP to HRC because he has no experience and is not electable. My friend claims, only the Clintons knows the white house better and can lead this nation to victory. Iam sure you know how disagreable I can be when it comes to electability.
Good job, I enjoy your writing
