ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and former President Bill Clinton are making very direct arguments to Democratic superdelegates, starkly insisting Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., cannot win a general election against presumptive Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

Sources with direct knowledge of the conversation between Sen. Clinton and Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., prior to the Governor's endorsement of Obama say she told him flatly, "He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."

Richardson, who served in President Clinton's cabinet, disagreed.

At a rally in Oregon, standing next to Obama, Richardson insisted, "My great affection and admiration for Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton will never waver." But he added, "It is time, however, for Democrats to stop fighting among ourselves and to prepare for the tough fight we will face against John McCain in the fall."

A report in the San Francisco Chronicle detailed another explosive exchange in which the former president angrily objected to Richardson's endorsement.

"Five times to my face [Richardson] said that he would never do that," Clinton said, according to the Chronicle -- before, the newspaper reports, he "went on a tirade that ran from the media's unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out."

Another, neutral superdelegate who was in the room for that meeting called the Chronicle's take "a bit exaggerated." But there is no question the Clintons are passionately arguing their case against Obama in what is fast becoming an intense race not just for the votes of the public but of the Democratic elite known as superdelegates.

Sen. Clinton ... told him flatly, "He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win."

When running for senator in NY, Hillary discovered she was part Jewish. This was just the chutzpah coming out.

You are free to believe that and prepare for President McBush.

Hillary is the only candidate who mobilize the Republican base and elect McBush. Fortunately, she has very little chance to get the nomination.

Perhaps you choose not to understand.

Hillary is the most polarizing figure around. People who do not like McCain would come out to vote against Hillary. Her attacks on Obama have driven her own negatives up. She is now polling not much better than George W. Bush.

She has little chance to win the nomination because her campaign is cash-strapped. She has relatively few donors and most her available funds can only be spent in the general election. To catch up in popular vote or elected delegate count she requires victories by a 20-30% margin. Her margin in PA has shrunk to single digit, and she trails nationally by about 10%. In TV ads, Obama is outspending her 5-1 in PA, and 100-0 elsewhere. With three weeks to go before PA, she has unpaid bills and mounting debt, and her campaign is on life support.

Obama does not share the same high negatives as Clinton. He could defeat McCain. But if you choose to believe McCain will enjoy certain victory over Obama, then it would appear you should prepare for President McCain as Obama appears to be winning the Democratic nomination.

A few weeks ago Gov. Rendell of Pa. made a very forthright statement.

For this he was roundly criticized.

It was his opinion that white voters would not elect Obama president.

My own opinion is that none of the three are qualified to be president, not even the lesser of three evils, whomever that might be. They all belong to the same system, three peas in a pod.
