Walter -- Thanks for Carrying Water for the Clinton Campaign -- You're Doing a Great Job!
Walter -- I was SO very glad to see that the Hillary campaign bus is still driving on, with Salon at the wheel! We need even more optimistic, pro-Hillary pieces like this!
My favorite parts...
When you make fun of Obama's ability "fill the Grand Canyon, if necessary, with rapturous supporters." Because really, how dare he be able to do that. Who does he think he is, anyway? And why are those supporters so rapturous. They should be cranky, like us Hillary fans!
When you ask "exactly what benefits did Obama's better than 2-to-1 financial advantage on television buy him in Pennsylvania?" You are SO right. AND on top of it all, bankrupting Hillary's campaign was such a NASTY byproduct of Obama's Pennsylvania campaign spending, wasn't it? How dare he put our girl in such a position!
"The internal response to any crisis... is for Obama to give a speech. Again, WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS with all this speechifying? The internal response to a crisis should be to lie! Or to "misremember." Or to claim that you're tired on the campaign trail, and make mistakes. Or to send out the surrogates to misdirect. But is certainly should not be to give a thoughtful speech, or attempt to rise above the petty arguments. How DARE HE offer "soaring rhetoric" in response to niggling arguments and gotcha campaign tactics.
His supporters have "true-believer enthusiasm." You know, I have to wonder. What the heck is wrong with them? Why can't they just have lukewarm feelings toward their candidate, like so many of us Hillary supporters. What's with all that enthusiasm anyway? All those whippersnapper Obamabots must be on drugs or something.
"Obama is the first insurgent candidate in memory who has not come up with a new issue to challenge the establishment favorite." That's because, as you and I know, he's really falling down on the job. Stopping the war in Iraq, restoring the horrible image of America around the world, changing the stifling and corrupt Washington culture, and getting our economy back on track are just not new enough issues on which to base a campaign.
He has "predicated almost his entire campaign on inspiration and process (he can reform the broken system in Washington and Clinton cannot)...and deliberately forsaken bread-and-butter issues." I mean, really. How DARE he present all the bread-and-butter solutions on his website, and not bore us to tears with lengthy policy wonk descriptions of how he will solve every problem. How DARE he inspire people to register to vote, and to actually vote, when he could be doing things the way they should be done, the way they've ALWAYS been done, and should continue to be done.
Thank you Walter, for reminding us all why we must vote for Hillary.
And SHAME ON YOU, Barack Obama, for all that inspiring speechifying and enthusiasm-generating stuff that is enrapturing supporters, and distracting us all from the important mission at hand -- electing Hillary!!
