Clinton Lies About The Polls

You know Hillary Clinton’s claim that she’s beating John McCain in all the polls ?

Well, that isn’t the case at all:

BILLINGS, MONT. — During an evening rally in Montana’s largest city Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton explained to the crowd why she should be the Democratic Party’s nominee, but what ensued was a list of overstatements and exaggerations as she made her case. “You have to ask yourself, who is the stronger candidate? And based on every analysis, of every bit of research and every poll that has been taken and every state that a Democrat has to win, I am the stronger candidate against John McCain in the fall,” she said.

The problem is, there are a number of polls that show Clinton in a close race with John McCain, many within the margin of error, not including a few that show Barack Obama beating McCain by a larger margin than Clinton.

Well, that’s one less straw for her to grasp at.

    Well, no…. the problem is that the nominee is not chosen by polls; the nominee is chosen by delegates who are chosen by voters in the primaries. THAT’s her problem.

  2. I agree with you on that one. It’s just amusing to see HRC come up with a new argument every day

    That must be a macro, Doug: “Clinton Lies About [insert most recent HRC statement here].”
