*In a letter and memo sent to
superdelegates, Hillary lays out the case for why she is the strongest candidate
to put together a winning coalition and beat John McCain in the Fall.
*Hillary has earned more
votes than anyone in the history of the Democratic primaries, and she will lead
in the popular vote with more than 17 million ballots cast when the primaries
conclude on June 3rd.
*Not only is Hillary the
top vote-getter, poll after poll shows she fares better against Sen. McCain in
large swing states than Sen. Obama. She is the only candidate winning in the
battlegrounds of Ohio and Florida.
*Hillary’s candidacy has
attracted a broad coalition of new voters. In fact, the highest increases in
turnout have come among her core supporters - millions of new women, Latinos and
people over 45 voted in the primaries for the first time.
*In the coming days,
superdelegates will have a clear choice: who is ready to serve as President on
day one and who is best able to beat John McCain in November? When you look at
her wins in the important swing states and her strength against Sen. McCain in
head-to-head matchups, there’s no question that Hillary is the strongest
candidate.
