Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.), one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) most visible supporters, said Tuesday that the delegate math that could give her the nomination is “somewhat improbable.” The lawmaker, a former admiral and frequent guest on cable news programs, noted that he is “very much a supporter of Hillary Clinton staying in the race,” adding that a win in the primaries is “not out of the question.” Sestak said on MSNBC Tuesday morning that the race for the nomination is so important because it features two groups that have until now “never been truly represented throughout all our offices.” He argued that no one should “point to her and say, ‘We want you out of the race,’ when we denied women from getting in the race for so long.” Sestak added that he would “say the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot of another exceptional candidate, Sen. [Barack] Obama [D-Ill.], an African-American, that no one should say, ‘Wow, get out of the race.’ ” Sestak expressed confidence that the Democrats would come together once a nominee is chosen. “We have two great candidates, and I want to see it end in the proper way, when both say, ‘It’s over, let’s join together and go forward,' ” he stated. |
