Hillary Can't Answer The Most Basic Question

Today a reporter FINALLY asked the most obvious and basic question, aside from "What is this experience, specifically, that you have that you think makes you so much more qualified than Senator Obama?",:

Reporter: Your campaign has made a big argument that you have won in the big swing states and this makes you a more viable candidate in the general election. Could you just explain that logic because if Obama lost in Ohio that doesn't necessarily mean he will lose in a general election As well Al Gore and John Kerry both won Pennsylvania in a general election. So could you just explain that argument?

Okay, so here we have the question that everyone in the media should have automatically, reflexively asked when she started making her "big state" argument that her performance (narrow wins) in the Democratic primary somehow means ANYTHING for the general election, despite the clear evidence from all the polls which suggest Obama actually does BETTER than her in nearly every state she was won, including all of the big "important" states. So her answer? She talks around the question, repeats her unfounded talking points, and in no way answers the basic question that was asked of her:



She can't do it, she can't answer the question, because there is no logic to back it up, it is a completely false, disingenuous assertion, one that she puts in ads, and one that her and every surrogate have been repeating every place they go, and yet no one in the media ever asks this most basic question. And when she is finally asked, she doesn't answer it, and no one PRESSES her, no one says:

But excuse me Senator, you still didn't answer the question, I asked you to please explain the logic behind your assertion that just because a candidate wins a state in the primary by maybe 10%, they will somehow do much better in the general against Senator McCain. Can you please explain that, because the polls don't seem to back your commonly repeated assertion up.

Why? Why can the media not take her to task for running around the country purposely deceiving voters, making this electability lie? And yet she complains that the media is out to get her, they are overly hard on her...does that make sense to you?

I'd like her to explain the logic of that one too.
