Hillary's destructive attacks on Obama are only serving to hurt party's chances at winning in the Fall. This explains why two Democratic Party icons might be looking to getting her out of the race before she does more damage. This article is from FOX:
MEGYN KELLY, CO-HOST: Well, he may have served as Bill Clinton's vice president, but according to a new report in "The Scotsman" newspaper, Al Gore wants Hillary out of the White House race. And get this, he is reportedly working in cahoots with former president Jimmy Carter to make it happen. Could this be true?
FOX News political analyst Kirsten Powers joins us now with some answers. All right, Kirsten. So this is a newspaper that's broken some real political news in the past. They broke the story of Samantha Power who worked for the Obama campaign and she got booted for calling Hillary a monster. They say they're working together. They've already, quote, "held high-level discussions about getting Hillary out."
POWERS: No.
KIRSTEN KELLY, FOX NEWS POLITICAL ANALYST: No?
POWERS: No. And I think — and also, they didn't really break the story. Samantha Power just happened to be talking to them when she said stuff. So it's not like you had some great sources. It's just not true. Gore's office has been trying to get this retracted.
There's just nothing to it. And even if — let's just pretend it was true, it wouldn't work. Hillary Clinton is not going to listen to Al Gore and Jimmy Carter. They don't have the zero sway over her. If she gets out of the race, when she gets out of the race, it will be because she decided to get out. And she simply will not do it because of anything Al Gore or Jimmy Carter says.
KELLY: All right. But let me ask you this, because "The Scotsman" says that a source close to Carter told the newspaper that, in fact, they are having these discussions. So they say at least one person has reported. Indeed, there's been a talk.
POWERS: Yes, well, Gore's office says there aren't and I know people ...
KELLY: But what are they ...
POWERS: No, I know people who are close to him, and I've talked to them and it is not happening. Now, I can't speak for Carter and maybe he thinks he has that kind of sway, but he doesn't. The other thing that they say and I've heard other people speculate that whoever Gore endorsed, and then all the other superdelegates would fall in line.
And this is why they might want her out. This from Americablog:
Here's what Hillary says on her campaign Web site:Today, Hillary Clinton received the endorsement of another prominent Montana leader, Yellowstone County Commissioner Bill Kennedy.... Kennedy said Sen. Obama's remarks last week at a San Francisco fundraiser solidified his support for Sen. Clinton.
Here's the truth from Kennedy today, April 15:“I had been leaning toward Hillary for months,” Kennedy said. “I actually decided to endorse her two weeks ago.”
In other words, he decided on April 1. Obama made the bitter comments on April 6. So, she lied.
It's not just the lies, but how bad Hillary sucks at lying. The lies are amateurish.
If that were not enough of a reason. Then there are the numbers:
Barack Obama is maintaining his lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationally in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking, with a 51% to 40% margin in the April 12-14 average.
