Clinton on air in Montana, on ground in S.D.

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor May 29, 2008 11:39 AM


Hillary Clinton may be the decided underdog in Montana -- and her chances of winning the nomination seem to dim with every day -- but that doesn't mean she's giving up.

She launched a new TV ad in the state today that claims she is the "only one" still in the presidential race to vote against President Bush's energy plan and to offer an universal healthcare proposal, and also highlights her pledges to give tax cuts to middle-class families.

And she is dutifully campaigning daily; today she plans events in Huron and Watertown in South Dakota, which also holds a primary on Tuesday. On Friday, she plans to be in Puerto Rico, which votes Sunday and is the only remaining contest in which she is favored.

In a Mason-Dixon poll conducted last week, Clinton trailed Barack Obama in Montana 52 percent to 35 percent among likely voters.

  1. And to think I wanted her to win at the start of this. She has proven herself to be untrustworthy in what she says. It's not the media it's her and I am glad I have awaken to see what she is all about. She would rather destroy the party than lose. Sad, sad sad.

  1. The DNC lawyers have argued that at most half the delegates (or all the delegates with half a vote) could legally be seated. Anything more would reek of impropriety!

    There are not enough delegates left in the three remaining contests to affect the outcome.

    The heavy-weights (Pelosi/Reid) are posed to pressure the remaining Super-Delegates to chime-in.

    Stay tuned for the season finally of the Obama-Mama-Drama!

    I don’t want to spoil the ending by telling you that Obama emerges the victor; oops!

    Hillary, the Queen of Spin and a Legend in Her Own Mind!

  1. I trust Hillary with all my heart!

    Hillary Clinton for President!

    (she also has the nicer supporters and not mean ones like Obama has) lol

    Obama followers are so obsessed with beating Hillary that they would rather beat her than have a democrat in the White House.

    Hillary ONLY!! She's the best choice.

  1. If Hillary wins the popular vote and Obama has a slight lead in delegates - who wins? I think this whole Rev. Wright and Pfleger thing is going to sink Obama in a general election. Clinton is way more electable!

  1. It is clear that the time has finally come for a new leader with real faith and commitment to live it in a new, better vision for a brighter life for all in a unified America - a unified America where, for the first time in America's history, good Democrats, good Republicans, good Independents, men and women of all races and religions can come together - a nation the rest of the world looks up to in awe not for its mighty military power but for the truly noble ideals it embraces and lives by, strong and compassionate, under one God of Love of all peoples, for all peoples. We can achieve something no country in the world has ever achieved in the history of humankind. Imagine! But for this to happen, this nation must have a leader who has clean hands - not mired by immoral scandals, not stained by the blood of perceived enemies, not led by personal ambitions and dreams. No. This time, we need someone who is different - nobler, cleaner, selfless, more honest, more capable. This time, we can. And this time, we will. Vote for Obama.

  1. She lost me completely when she talked of 'obliterating Iran'. What a horrible thing to say, it's Iraq all over again, we might as well have Bush, they speak the same language.
