OBAMA WINS NOMINATION,
RAINS ON HILLARY'S PARADE
(LBP) NY, NY, 4 June 2008, 11:00 PM ET Hillary
Clinton is fuming, angry with Barack Obama's "crude and impolitic refusal to
acknowledge her as the obvious and inevitable candidate of the Democratic
Party for President," according to highly placed sources within her campaign
who spoke on condition of anonymity. Clinging to the slender reed of a
delegate majority, Barack Obama actually claimed that he may be the party's
nominee while speaking to a crowd of thirty-two thousand at St. Paul,
Minnesota.
In an earlier speech in New York, Hillary Clinton was
gracious as always, going so far as to acknowledge Barack Obama's existence.
Only at one point in her speech did she touch upon Obama's claim, stating,
"Saying that having the majority of delegate votes makes you the nominee:
well, sir, that sounds like caucus talk to me ― and you
know what I think of caucuses!"
"Hillary had been considering him as a potential Vice
Presidential running mate, but I think he has pretty well blown that
opportunity" one campaign worker explained.
