Clinton Denies Obama Electability Remark

BURBANK, Calif. -- Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared Thursday to deny published reports that she told New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that Barack Obama cannot win the general election. But her campaign aides later said the New York senator had misunderstood the question.

"That's a no," she said at a news conference when asked if she had made the comment to Richardson, after saying she wouldn't discuss details of their discussion.

"We have been going back and forth in this campaign of who said what to whom and let me say this, that I don't talk about private conversations but I have consistently made the case that I can win," Clinton said.

Spokesman Mo Elleithee later said Clinton had misheard the question and thought she was being pressed anew on whether she'd be willing to disclose what she'd said to Richardson, who eventually endorsed Obama _ and not her _ for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"Senator Clinton was simply reiterating what she had just said _ she doesn't talk about private conversations," Elleithee said.

Earlier, the former first lady was asked directly whether she believed Obama would win in November if he were the Democratic nominee.

"I am sure we will have a united Democratic Party. I will do everything possible to make sure we can win and I am confident we will have a Democrat in the White House next year," she said, while adding she believed she was the best candidate and would make the best president.

Clinton, who trails Obama in pledged delegates and is unlikely to overtake him, also hinted that she hoped to persuade a few of them to back her instead of him.

"There is no such thing as a pledged delegate," she said.

Both Clinton and Obama were to address the state convention of the North Dakota Democratic Party on Friday, where delegates to this summer's national convention will be allocated. Obama crushed Clinton in the state's Feb. 5 presidential caucuses, 61 percent-36 percent.

The former first lady said she was going to North Dakota to thank her supporters and delegates _ and wooing Obama supporters was fair game.

My opinion....after all the back stabbing and down grading, neither one has a snowballs chance in hell.

Hil-dawgs TV appearance today describing how she "felt" when she heard King had been shot is elegible for a Grammy, Emmy, or what the fuck ever else awards it is Hollyweird gives out. She was even able to muster up some tears. That woman and her ole man could lie to Jesus Christ himself with a straight face!
