PRESTONSBURG, Kentucky (CNN) – Hillary Clinton defended her reasoning for staying in the presidential race Monday afternoon by pointing out that Karl Rove's analysis shows her to be the strongest candidate against John McCain in November.
“There has been a lot of analysis about which of us is stronger to win against Sen. McCain, and I believe I am the stronger candidate,” said Clinton, repeating a line from her stump speech.
Then she veered from her usual argument.
“Just today I found some curious support for that position when one of the TV networks released an analysis done by - of all people - Karl Rove, saying that I was the stronger candidate,” said Clinton. “Somebody go a hold of his analysis and there it is.”
Clinton was referring to electoral maps drawn up by Karl Rove’s consulting firm that were obtained by ABC and forecast her currently leading McCain in the electoral college by 53 votes (259-206), while Obama trails McCain by 17 (238-221)
270 electoral votes are needed to win November’s election.
Clinton continued to push for Florida and Michigan’s delegates to be seated but said that even if that happens, the race won’t be over.
“Once we include Florida and Michigan, neither Sen. Obama nor I will have enough delegates to get the nomination so there is no way that this is going to end any time soon because we’re going to keep fighting for the nomination.”

Well if Rove was able to get W in office twice I am sure he knows what he is talking about.
Oh wait, this was not meant as a praise...darn! I guess this is the part where I should say... " Hillary is listening to the enemy...the nerve!"
You do understand that anyone affiliated with the Republican Party wants Hillary to stay in this race as long as possible don't you? IMO he's just trying to encourage that.

Rove is the same guy who said the math was on the Repulican's side to win seats in 06... Hillary made a mistake citing that criminal hack to support her claims...I don't see how mentioning him is in any way an inspration to dems...
Dan Abrams said it best today, "Is she trying to court the 'Rove Democrats' that dont exist?"

Actually, I agree with you on this one.
