Hillary Counterpunch: Barack Obama Can't Win

ABC News is reporting that the latest punch thrown in the war between Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is Hillary's contention that 'Barack Obama can't win.'

News reports from the campaign trail indicate that Bill and Hillary Clinton have been strongly lobbying the Democratic 'super-delegates' to encourage them to vote for Hillary.

Super-delegates are told by the Clintons that the main reason they should vote for Hillary is that Obama cannot win in the general election against John McCain.

Insiders say that when Bill and Hillary lobbied Governor Bill Richardson, who later endorsed Obama, Hillary pleaded, 'Barack Obama cannot win, Bill, he cannot win.'

In all likelihood Hillary is right, although it is not impossible for Barack to win. But the problem for Hillary is that in all likelihood she cannot win, either. Polls are showing McCain ahead of both Obama and Hillary in potential head-to-head matchups.

The ABC report also states that the latest jugular tactic employed by the Clintons against Obama has created a firestorm of new controversy in what's already been a tumultuous Democratic campaign.

The Obama campaign is crying foul, but Hillary is likely closer to the truth about Barack than most people realize.

As we reported earlier today on the Roundup, even some within the Obama campaign staff are beginning to 'lose faith' in the Obamessiah, stating that beneath the smooth rhetoric and Hollywood-style persona, there is no substance.

The question is, when your own staff begins to lose faith, how long will it take for the sheeple to follow suit?
