Dems to Clinton: Don't Say Anything to Hurt Us

Clinton Expects to Win W. Va., but Win Will Have Little Impact on Dem Race

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., pressed her campaign ahead of Tuesday's West Virginia primary as Democratic Party leaders warned her not to do or say anything that could hurt Democratic front-runner Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in November.

Clinton is considered likely to win West Virginia's primary, perhaps by as many as 30 percentage points, but the victory in the small state is not expected to shake Obama's apparent hold on the party's nomination.

What Democrats fear could have a lasting impact is what Clinton might say about Obama that could split the party or be gleefully reused by Republican John McCain in the fall election.

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn, an Obama supporter, compared Clinton to the Glenn Close character in "Fatal Attraction" -- a spurned woman turned stalker who was apparently drowned in a bathtub only to jump up one more time to be shot dead.

The divisiveness goes way beyond anything I have seen thrown at one Democrat to another Democrat.

6. interesting slip up:

In the town of Eleanor, W. Va., Sunday night, it wasn't clear whether Clinton tripped over a pronoun or was trying to score points with women voters.

"All the kitchen table issues that everybody talks to me about are ones that the next president can actually do something about, if he actually cares about it," she said at a rally. "He"?

She caught herself. "More likely, if she cares about it," Clinton added.
