Clinton: “Who do you trust…Me or your lying eyes?”
Forget Florida and MI. Now it seems that no primaries or cacuses matter. Every delegate is free to vote for Hillary Clinton so Obama has no actual lead at this time no matter how many times you hear that he does.
From Newsweek by way of TPM:
…doesn’t look bleak at all. I have a very close race with Senator Obama. There are elected delegates, caucus delegates and superdelegates, all for different reasons, and they’re all equal in their ability to cast their vote for whomever they choose. Even elected and caucus delegates are not required to stay with whomever they are pledged to. This is a very carefully constructed process that goes back years, and we’re going to follow the process.
Shorter Clinton: You suckers who stood in line for hours to vote for Obama…I pity you.
I posted earlier about Clinton’s “experience”. There’s an article in the NYT today that says . . .
SNIP
“Mrs. Clinton showed a tendency toward an insular management style, relying on a coterie of aides who have worked for her for years, her aides and associates said. Her choice of lieutenants, and her insistence on staying with them even when friends urged her to shake things up, was blamed by some associates for the campaign’s woes. Again and again, the senator was portrayed as a manager who valued loyalty and familiarity over experience and expertise.”
Who’s management style, and I use the term VERY losely, does this remind you of? Condi, Donny, DICK, et al.

“Mrs. Clinton’s ability to manage the one person with whom she spoke most often, former President Bill Clinton, was also questioned by some of her advisers and supporters. Mr. Clinton moved in his own orbit — he heatedly argued with his wife’s advisers who wanted to write off South Carolina, defying them to campaign there — and took no direction from the campaign about what to say or where to go, some of them said. (Mr. Obama defeated Mrs. Clinton in the South Carolina Democratic primary by nearly 29 percentage points.)”
Who says this isn’t a third term for Bill? Mama’s lock up your interns.
Could you give us the link for this unbelievable Clinton quote from TPM.
Mr. Clinton moved in his own orbit — he heatedly argued with his wife’s advisers who wanted to write off South Carolina…
He probably had a hottie down there.
June –
Fixed.
All I can say is that Obama campaigned in EVERY state. He didn’t write off one!
On the other side, HRC dismisses states she claims are unworthy while at the same time screaming about FL and MI’s disinfranchised voters. Does every vote count?
In the end I fear all this will end badly, no matter who wins. And in the name of honesty, I will be one of those who will delight in every failure of HRC, whether as nominee or President.
“In the end I fear all this will end badly, no matter who wins.”
Day by day, the Democratic campaign is putting John McCain back in the game, one inch at a time.
