McAuliffe:Won't surrender for Clinton

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The head of U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign refused to concede Sunday that she has no chance to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Terry McCauliffe said it is still possible for Clinton to win the nomination, even though most pundits have concluded that she cannot overtake her rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, to become the Democratic Party nominee.

"Look, tomorrow -- something new could happen," said McCauliffe. "Nothing's impossible. You are talking to Terry McAuliffe. I don't believe anything in life is impossible."

McAuliffe argued that Clinton would be a stronger candidate than Obama against Sen. John McCain, the likely Republican nominee. He said she would beat McCain in Florida, a major swing state.

Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., who endorsed Obama after abandoning his own presidential campaign, said he expects Clinton and her supporters to rally behind Obama if and when Obama when he becomes the nominee.

"This is not 1968 when we were highly divided, racial tensions in the country, the anti-war movement, Democrats split over those issues," Dodd said. "The difference between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on substantive issues is rather narrow."

Of course Hillary should remain in the race to the bitter end. That worked for McCain, so why can't it work for her. Eventually, it might dawn upon people that Obama isn't qualified and is merely cranking out compaign promises. What has he done in the past that is admirable, noteworthy, laudable, indicative of the ability to get a job done ? Anyone can stand up in front of a crowd and tell them what they want to hear. Isn't that what snake oil salesmen have done for years?
