Clinton Insists Democratic Race Is ‘Long Way’ From Over, Looks Toward Convention

The Democratic race is a “long way from being over,” Hillary Clinton told FOX News on Wednesday, and she has no qualms about taking the primary fight all the way to the convention floor.

In a sit-down interview with FOX News’ Greta Van Susteren, which aired Wednesday night, Clinton said not to write her candidacy’s obituary yet, even though she’s trailing Barack Obama by 157 pledged delegates with opportunities dwindling to make up that gap.

“Sixty-two percent said let it go on,” Clinton said, referring to a new Rasmussen survey that found that portion of Democrats aren’t ready for either candidate to leave the race. “That is what people are telling me. That is what we have to do. Let the voters have a chance to be heard. Nobody should be writing obituaries on this race, because it is a long way from being over.”

The Democratic race has taken unexpected twists and turns in the last two weeks, from the controversy over Obama’s long-time pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to criticism of Clinton’s claims that she landed in Bosnia in 1996 under sniper fire.

*snip*

Clinton won both of those states’ primaries in January, though none of the candidates campaigned. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan.

Clinton said, barring a resolution on Florida and Michigan, the fight goes to convention.

“You know, you can always go to the convention. That’s what credential fights are for,” she said. “Let’s have the Democratic party go on record against seating the Michigan and Florida delegations three months before the general election? I don’t think that will happen. I think they will be seated. So that’s where we’re headed if we don’t get this worked out.”

I wish I could go to the convention and hand out broken bottles and straight-razors to the delegates going in.

No way can she pull out now.  The Democratic Convention will be the best must see television of the year.   I can't wait -- the cat fights will be the best in political history!

...oh, that and by the time the convention is over the party will be so bitter and divided that McCain will win in a landslide whether we vote for him or not.

It will be down to Hillery and her staff, deep inside the bunker, as the Red Army (DNC) shell the place, trying to get in.
She'll keep moving fictional armies about, telling war stories of fighting off the Christian VRWA on the beaches of Dayton, Ohio til at last she tries the X pill on Bill, and pickes up her pistol and ends it all.
