Posted: In a land where math doesn't existWASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sen. Hillary Clinton took her case directly to the superdelegates yesterday in a long letter explaining why she believes she is the Democratic party's strongest candidate to face off against Sen. John McCain in November's general election.
As a failsafe for her unconvincing argument, Clinton also copied Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, God and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" producers on the letter, according to top Clinton campaign officials.
In the letter, Clinton cites a number of reasons why she should be the one to singlehandedly bring defeat to an un-unified Democratic party in the general election instead of forcing Republicans to earn the victory. She pointed out her recent landslide victories in Kentucky and West Virginia and that she's been really good this year.
"In the past two weeks, I haven't said anything bad about Sen. Obama, not even once!!!!!!" she wrote. "Except for the assassination comment, which was taken way out of context -- even though it was true."
"People who call my argument weak that Sen. Obama can't win crucial states in the general election because I won them in the primary are the same people who don't believe in you, Mr. Claus," she continued. "Well, I do! And for you, Ms. Tooth Fairy, let's just say my very expensive da Vinci veneers spend a lot of time under my pillow. Instead of leaving me quarters, please donate the maximum allowable amount of $2,300 to www.hillaryclinton.com. Thank you!"
God, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy have yet to endorse a candidate, but "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" star Ty Pennington has endorsed unannounced third-party candidate Norm Abram, host of "The New Yankee Workshop" on PBS.
