Snatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory

I am hoping this is a desperate and vicious lie.   If it is, its damning proof that the puma crowd, riverdaughter in particular, will go to any length to sabotage a Democratic victory.  Clinton’s response to McCain’s recent ad slamming Obama for picking Biden over Hillary could just as easily apply to them: Kathleen Strand, [...]

Media Can’t Let Go of Hillary as VP

I guess flat out lying is ok in the opinion section of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.  That’s how Marianne Means sets up her ridiculous on its face argument that Barack Obama is a selfish little brat who needs to offer Clinton the VP to be appropriately “gracious”. Despite their publicized gestures of making nice, too many [...]

Hillary’s Supporters and Party Unity

This is brilliant (thebruceblog): Hillary is a Democrat. She embraces and champions Democratic causes. She continues in the Senate wanting to advance the Democratic agenda. She said from the very beginning of the primaries, she wants a unified party in the fall and that the differences between her and Obama “pale in comparison” to McCain. [...]

Hillary Clinton Must Go

She shouldn’t be given a leadership position as a “consolation prize”.  She shouldn’t be bailed out by Obama or the party.  It has gotten to the point where Hillary and her supporters have showed their true colors, and the resulting picture is a nasty one. Hillary Clinton’s threatening civil war within the party if she [...]

We Shouldn’t Bail Out Hillary Clinton

Why? Because from the start her campaign was one afforded momentum mostly by her own sense of entitlement (and to a lesser degree by the novelty of being a female candidate). Because she’s staying in when the fight is clearly over. Because she’s hurt our chances in November by initially suggesting McCain would be a [...]

What is Hillary Clinton Doing?

As Hillary Clinton heads into a meaningless victory in West Virginia (in terms of the primary), Democrats across the nation can be heard whispering “please don’t stab us in the back!“.  Which is understandable, given her past statements that she considered McCain a better candidate than Obama!  (And we wonder why some of her supporters [...]

Obama, Clinton, and Political Favors

If you like Obama’s whole mantra of change, this ought to piss you off(emphasis mine): She has ruled it out, but a prompt withdrawal from the contest for the Democratic nomination offers Sen. Hillary Clinton the prospect of major rewards. One of the most inviting is the near certainty that the Obama campaign would agree [...]

Hillary Can Still Win!

Via Nezua, exciting news for Hillarycrats!: See?  Mathematically impossible my foot!

Clinton Straight Up Lies (No Joke)

Yes, Hillary Clinton, that paragon of honesty, has straight up lied about the popular vote.  Here’s the grimy details.  Sigh, emphasis mine: Sen. Hillary Clinton is arguing that she is ahead of rival Sen. Barack Obama when it comes to the popular vote. “I’m very proud that as of today, I have received more votes [...]

Hillary Clinton is Desperate

She’s waving Osama around in her newest ad (Huffington Post): Still, there might be something to the rumors that tomorrow’s primary is expected to be a tight contest, and the clearest sign that the Clinton campaign is taking that seriously is that they’ve released a new thirty-second ad called “Kitchen,” which “detail[s] how tough the [...]

Clinton’s Hollow Words on Bush

Hillary Clinton is attempting to dress Obama in Bush’s legacy (Washington Times, emphasis mine): Speaking at the Newspaper Association of America’s annual conference, Mrs. Clinton derided Mr. Bush, saying that “rather than defending the Constitution, he has defied its principles and traditions.” She noted the long nomination battle but said, “When the campaigns conclude … [...]

Hillary Voted for the War

She Voted For the War: Consider; If the War in Iraq was currently popular with the American Public which side of the argument would Hillary Clinton be on? They have an excellent point.

Start the National Campaign NOW

Yes, Yes YES YES.  Democrats need to listen to Zack Exley: If Super Tuesday had been decisive, then, by now, the presumptive nominee would already be two months into building the strongest national field campaign ever seen in U.S. politics. Both Hillary and Obama have brilliant field teams and, as the nominee, either one would [...]

Obama and Clinton: Share Goals Not the Ticket

More discussion about a Clinton Obama ticket.  For a little perspective, this is coming from one of three sources:  Hillary, Bill, the same media experts who still consider McCain a maverick.  The Obama camp is throwing out some strong “and…. no” signals in response. “I know that she has always been open to it, because [...]

A Long Nomination Battle is OK

If Barack takes Ohio, and I think he will, Hillary may still try to stay in the race with a Texas win.  And that’s ok.  Here’s why. We can actually take a page from right-wing blowhard Rush Limbaugh: “I want Hillary to stay in this…this is too good a soap opera,” Limbaugh told fellow conservative [...]
