Flying over reality at 30,000 feet
This article overlooks an awful lot to make some kind of mysterious point about Hillary's vulnerability in the general election. Conspicuously missing from the piece is any commentary on the Clintons' sudden marriage of convenience with the very people who make up the VRWC. Just yesterday our "vetted" candidate sat down with one Richard Mellon Scaife for a friendly chat about Reverend Wright. In the run-up to Texas and Ohio, Bill took some time out of his schedule to call into Rush Limbaugh's radio show. And the Hillary campaign and its supporters regularly and cravenly reference right-wing media (Newsmax, WorldNet Daily, the American Spectator, National Review) to prop up their specious arguments against Obama. I would ask Mike Madden about this new and wholly opportunistic vulnerability in the general election: who will be able to reasonably defend them against the fusillade of attacks from the VRWC when they themselves are now part of it? Every single complaint from the Clintons about right-wing attacks against them will ring hollow. Couple that with waning support among Democrats and you've got the basic outlines of a resounding defeat in November. Some Faustian bargain, that.
