Candidate Clinton to Richardson: 'Barack Obama Can't Win'

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and former President Bill Clinton are making very direct arguments to Democratic superdelegates, starkly insisting Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., cannot win a general election against presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Sources with direct knowledge of the conversation between Sen. Clinton and Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., prior to the Governor's endorsement of Obama say she told him flatly, "He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."
Richardson, who served in President Clinton's cabinet, disagreed.
At a rally in Oregon, standing next to Obama, Richardson insisted, "My great affection and admiration for Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton will never waver." But he added, "It is time, however, for Democrats to stop fighting among ourselves and to prepare for the tough fight we will face against John McCain in the fall."
Yet here's a wrinkle, from a source with direct knowledge of Richardson's conversations with the Clintons: Richardson himself told Sen. Clinton and former President Clinton that he didn't think Obama could win, back when he was (according to the Clintons) telling them earlier this year that he wouldn't endorse Obama.
"Too inexperienced," Richardson said, the source tells ABC News.

A report in the San Francisco Chronicle detailed another explosive exchange in which the former president angrily objected to Richardson's endorsement.
"Five times to my face [Richardson] said that he would never do that," Clinton said, according to the Chronicle -- before, the newspaper reports, he "went on a tirade that ran from the media's unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out."
Another, neutral superdelegate who was in the room for that meeting called the Chronicle's take "a bit exaggerated." But there is no question the Clintons are passionately arguing their case against Obama in what is fast becoming an intense race not just for the votes of the public but of the Democratic elite known as superdelegates.
----------------------------------------------------------
The problem here is figuring out who is telling the truth.
After Senator Hillary Clinton lied about Bosnia recently and her contacts with Canadian Government officials regarding Nafta I am inclinded to believe that Gov.Bill Richardson did not say he would endorse Senator Clinton.
No person should have to be a puppet on strings which I believe the Clintons feel their former people in their Administration should be .
Gov. Bill Richardson has a mind of his own like we all do.
What I like about him is I believe he is telling the truth about the way he feels regarding Senator Barack Obama.
My conclusion as I write this is that Bill and Hillary are lying once again and believe the Whitehouse should be theirs at any cost at this point in the campaign.
If any of their friends go against them watchout then your their enemy.
If you support them then your as good as gold.
Its time for the Clintons to stop lying the desperation is showing now big time.
Their campaign is getting out of control or maybe since losing so many times to Obama they lost it a long time ago.

Who rates the items and not it's misleading subject line
Now Barack. He didn't just exagerate about never hearing Write sat a deragatory thing about another group - for twenty years. He (can you guess?) Yes, he LIED. And not to extend his good works, but to HIDE the UGLY TRUTH.
It's not bad enough that BO suporters daily call Hillary a lier. But, they also continually deny that Barack has blatenlty done much worse.
I suggest trying to focus on just exactly what is good about Obama. You are inspiring way too many democrats to go independent. In the end you're killing your own favorite nominee's chances in the general if he wins the primary.
Do try to grow up.
