Clinton going all out in N.C.


Hillary Clinton is going all out in the final stretch.

The Democratic presidential candidate spent the day in Wake Forest, Gastonia and Mooresville, She's just announced she will return on Monday.

Chelsea will campaign Sunday, while Bill will go on a 15-city swing Sunday and Monday, hitting Marion, Morganton, Lenoir, Newton, Kernersville and Reidsville, and then Elizabeth City, New Bern, Jacksonville, Smithfield, Louisburg, Zebulon, Henderson, Roxboro and Raleigh.

(Maybe that's why Clinton's so worried about high gas prices...) 

This means one of two things: Clinton thinks she has enough of a chance to pull off a win or a really narrow loss here to throw Obama off balance, or she is confident enough that she'll win Indiana that she's decided to spend her ammunition here.

Either way, it's not a good sign for Barack Obama

RTB says "(Maybe that's why Clinton's so worried about high gas prices...)"

Dude, I know that's meant to be a joke and all. But since you have shown zero understanding of this issue, it only serves to emphasize the extent to which you have failed to grasp the basics.

If Clinton was worried about high gas prices, then she would not be proposing a "gas tax holidy." Once again, an elimination of the gas tax will not lead to lower prices for consumers. Instead, gas companies will pocket the tax decrease.

So, I know the above was meant to be a joke, but the whole premise of the joke shows that you don't understand the issue. She's not worried about high gas prices.

If you are unable to understand the issue, please stop reporting on it!

More of the hope, change and unity supporters: "steal" "justifiable hatred". Obama has used both race and gender cleverly to divide us. Race to suggest any criticism of him is race-based, as if we couldn't just think our candidate was stronger. And gender, by participating in and benefitting from the nasty misogyny tha's truly poisoned this campaign.

Re: Clinton going all out in N.C.

I was very SHOCKED by one of the articles insisting so HEAVILY on the possibly racial motivations of white voters. The Obama camp is using this kind of substandard journalism to try to make the campaign about race and to manipulate black voters and white. Even Tom Hanks fell for it. It's really pathetic.
This campaign is gender-driven and it is the women, the African American women, in the state of North Carolina who are going to nail this campaign for the most qualified candidate who -- COINCIDENTALLY -- belongs to the same under-represented MAJORITY that they do.

Re: Clinton going all out in N.C.

She will STEAL the nomination in the end, and thats when the WORLD will witness the justifiable hatred for this woman. The tide of her popularity will be truly tested.

Re: Clinton going all out in N.C.

Another take would be that she has to gamble in order to change the dynamics of the race. A narrow win in Indiana and a loss in North Carolina simply maintains the status quo. Senator Obama will still have won more pledged delegates, more votes, and more states. If anything, she will lose her argument that Senator Obama cannot win big states.
