I would not be shocked at all if Obama were to be the one who drops out and waits in the wings untill 2012. Clinton as really poisoned the well. She's definitely trying to damage him to a fatal degree so he can't win in November. Beat her to the punch. He's young, the party loves him and if he drops out he would be the Democrat's hero in 2012 (if they survive the Clinton disaster).
Clinton as the nominee guarantees a McCain win. A badly damaged Obama going into the election would have a hard time winning. Get out before the clinton slime machine can go into hyper-overdrive (which it will going into the convention).
This week Nancy Pelosi said there will be a Democrativc "dream team" but it won't be any combintation of Obama and Clinton. She added, "You can take my word on it." When asked why, she sited Clinton's remark suggestion John McCain was better equipt to be commander-in-chief. That doesn't sound good for Clinton, if you ask me.
I think its pretty clear the Clinton strategy at this point is, "If I can't be President, he won't be President."
Well unfortunately they're starting to pay attention too late. Clinton has most likely poisoned the well already. She's done great damage to the Democratic party that most likey can't be repaired even if she were to drop out tomorrow. She won't, and her behavior will only get worse.
Pelosi, Dean, gore...they should have had that little visit with her right after Wisconsin.
And once again, Hillary Clinton has put herself in the headlines. Had she firmly and quickly denounced Ferraro's comments and removed her from her campaign this would have blown over quickly and had been lost in the Spitzer haze, but that's not what she did. Hillary clinton dragged her feet, stirred the pot and used Ferraro. She got her headline cycle AND she got her racist message out to all the white, blue collar voters in Pennsylvania who the message was intended to reach.
In the end Clinton will end up the Democratic nominee, but she will lose in an historic landslide...and she'll leave the Democratic party in ruins. That will be the Clinton legacy.
He needs to get his life in order. He's traveling down a very bleak path. He did some very good work, and he should be applauded for that, but obviously he has serious personal issues he needs to deal with.
I'm still mystified why anyone would pay $4000 an hour to get laid.
Convenient that loudmouthed idiot spouts her poison right in time for a primary where the African American vote would play a major role. She didn't make her statement hand in hand with Obama's win in the very white Wyoming. The clinton camp has been using race in the slimiest of ways since Iowa and they've tried to cover their tracks in a very pathetic fashion.
As far as Clinton's non-congratulations. She's made a habit of ignoring one of the few expected courteous tradtions in political campaigns. She's foul, no other word for her. Foul.
Her vote on Kyl/Lieberman.
Tested? Because her husband got a blow job from a fat chick half her age?
Unfortunately, her greatest accomplishment will be handing the White House back to the Republicans in an election that should be a no-contest for the Democrats.
Apparently, so did hers.
She's campaigning like a Republican. She's doing Karl Rove's and John McCain's heavy lifting. Obama should paint her as a "Republican" every chance he gets...and his chances should be boundless.
I mentioned your sainted Bill Clinton along with other politicians caught up in sex scandals. So please have yourself a high fiber breakfast and get over it.
As others have said, we've spent over seven years with a President and administration that has truely raped the nation in so many profound ways. There seems to be little concern among the multitude. Get caught with your pants down and the whole nation goes crazy. It really is silly. Craig is a hypocrite, Vitter is a hypocrite and Spitzer is a hypocrite. My problem isn't with their "hobbies" but with their quite different public and professional positions. And frankly speaking, prostitution should be legalized, taxed and regulated.
Bill clinton was a notorious womanizer. Well before he was elected that was common knowledge. Hillary clinton was the victimized wife? Hell no, she put up with it because she was reaping benefits from the marriage. Larry Craig's wife had no idea about her husband's sexual interests? If not, then she was the only one. Craig's sexuality was rumored and discussed in public and print for a long time before his date with destiny in that men's room...and he was confronted with it in person several times. Politics is, unfortunately, a sleazy business. There are perks that come with being a Senator's wife, a Governor's wife, a First Lady (ask Jackie about turning a blind eye). Frankly speaking, these women probably couldn't care less where their husbands stick theor dicks (and are probably glad they don't have to deal with them). I never look at them standing there and think that she looks like a betrayed wife. to me they always just look really pissed off that the bottom has dropped out.
I really don't get it. I've had alot of very hot sex in my life, but I'd never pay for it. Hell, I sneak into movies!.
If he's paying a fortune for sex then I expect to hear about diapers or jumper cables. I just can't fathom anyone in their right mind paying thousands of dollars just to get laid.
This campaign is just a glimpse of the nighmare the nation would be in for should she actually be elected. Sure, she may have "35 years of experience," but no one ever said it was GOOD experience. She fucked up her little healthcare reform party in '93 just for starters and it sounds like she hasn't improved with age.
