Hillary…someday?
Things are looking bleak for our heroine. With an e, folks, and e. She’s sounding bitter and looks tired, I’m not even sure she remembers why she’s running in the first place. Her colleagues in the Senate, who used to praise her profusely, now line up one by one behind Obama. (Ugarles had a hilarious bit in his apperance at my apartment when he said if Obama is elected he’s not going to have any support from the old guard of the Democratic party. “It’ll be like ‘You want us to do what? I’ve been signing memos President Biden for the last twenty years, you’re not getting a single piece of legislation, President leapfrog. Where’s your elected by the people now?’” Ugarles funny.) Al Gore’s silence is deafening at this point. She’s behind in Texas and her razor thin lead in Ohio is evaporating. And now her 3 a.m. ad shows that she’s officially lost the plot. That ad isn’t going to win her this election…it’s a Democratic primary, she’s not going to scare tactic Texas and Ohio dems into voting for her. However, if she doesn’t recognize that the McCain campaign will be replaying that ad nonstop in the general, she’s got her big ass cheeks up her big ass cheeks. And independents and republicans are much easier to scare. I wanted her to win this. I still do, but if she doesn’t, she would have done damage to Obama that was unnecessary and frankly, unforgiveable if he loses to McCain in the general.

The whole reason she’s this behind in the primary is that she refused to do damage to Obie early on.

How did she not unleash Blake Zeff on him? He’s the funniest, most biting mofo working in politics today and last I heard he joined the Hillary campaign. A sample of his work: http://thinkexist.com/quotes/blake_zeff/

The smartest woman in the world has reacted instead of acting from the time Obamarama announced. Any fool can carry-on. It takes wisdom to know when to shorten sail. Many of us already knew that she was an empty bitter vessel. She has proved it by losing to an emptier weaker vessel, and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Doubting Thomas. Although I agree that she probably should have bitten the bullet and gone negative early, so the story now wouldn’t be “Is Hillary going negative?” It would be “wow, negative campaigns really work; that Hillary is one tough bitch.”
But darn, girl, you sure do lose faith quick. It helps if you do like I do and just don’t watch the news for the two weeks before the election.
